  1. A nurse by any other name...

    6mostogo replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    OMG it must be by the same company I work at. I'm a CNA, but where I work now, my title has changed 2x since Ive been there. Its never been CNA. I think now its something like "Certified Resident...

  2. When did patients become "clients"?

    6mostogo replied to woahmelly's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's my cynical retail mind but to me a client is someone who is only there to make you money. In calling someone a patient, to me, it implies that there is a medicinal/ethical need to help them...

  3. What kills me..... (VENT)!!!

    6mostogo replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought, but I was brought to allnurses.com through a Facebook add. There is software that somehow gleans from my profile that I *might* be interested in this site, so it recommended it Both...

  4. Faulted by aides who want help with incontinence care

    6mostogo replied to Calliehoo's topic in General Nursing

    What is the census like for the 2 aides? What do you considered "strapped?" I might be going out on a limb, but I've been a CNA 9 years, and I've never expected the nurse to help with bed checks....

  5. Brown Mackie Indianapolis Lpn program?

    6mostogo replied to ImjustDad's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    WOW that is a lot of money for LPN. I'm thankful for getting into Ivy Tech's program! OP: Seems to me it would be cheaper to retake your English at $100 a credit hour and reapply if you don't make it...

  6. bp cuffs and obese patients

    6mostogo replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in General Nursing

    If it is improperly sized, it definitely will read inaccurately. Cuffs that are too small for the circumference of the arm will read too high. Not sure that the shape makes a difference, but the...

  7. What kills me..... (VENT)!!!

    6mostogo replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't send me back to the SN boards... have you seen the people who hang out in those places??? Seriously through, I have nothing but respect for the experienced nurses on this forum. I would much...

  8. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    6mostogo replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    Wish it could be that easy. I rarely call off and always for a REAL reason. But the LTC facility I work for now, requires staff calling in sick to come in to be evaluated by one of the staff nurses....

  9. Toileting Bariatric Patients

    6mostogo replied to Toileting Help's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital in our area is newly remodeled and and each unit has specially designed Bariatric room. Lift built right above the bed on a track; it can move the pt right into the shower or the toilet....

  10. Two cna job offers!!! Which one????

    6mostogo replied to mejajo08's topic in General Nursing

    Depends ... are you a nursing student? Do you have previous CNA experience? I would lean toward the med/onc job myself. I've worked split shifts, and i would not want to get into that again! Straight...
