    It is nice to know that there are nurses like you out

  2. Fustration with new technology on the floors

    rosey2007 replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with you also. My OB carries a phone on him and I find it rude when he has to answer it while with me. I know that there is a reason for it, but it make you feel less

  3. Failed my CNA skills... I need encouragement please

    rosey2007 replied to NICU Kristen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do not worry because you did not have the packet for the first test. I am sure you will pass the second

  4. Working while pregnant

    rosey2007 replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    I was an aide when I first got pregnant and had to quit, because I was so tired all the time. I do know a lot of people who can work all the way through their pregnancies, but it was too hard on me....

  5. My first needle stick today... :(

    rosey2007 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar situation a couple of years ago and I was so scared. Thank goodness my blood tests came back negative. I am glad they are taking you seriously, because in my case they thought I was...

  6. Back braces...how come I never see CNA's wear them?

    rosey2007 replied to northernguy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have only worked at one place that required you wear a back brace and at that time I was only a NAR. I have had a back injury and it was no fun at all and the facility I worked at the time had to...

  7. What to do about a resident that knows how to turn her alarms off?

    rosey2007 replied to Penny82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had a resident like this at one time and we would hide the bed alarm. What good that did lol. This resident would have to transfer to the bed before the alarm. What I think is really crazy is this...

  8. no cell phones no personal phone calls at work

    rosey2007 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well it has always been a rule not to have your cell phone on when I am at work, but I have had some situation where it has really come in handy. I used to be an aide and had a situation where a...

  9. What are some crazy things you've seen since being a nurse?

    rosey2007 replied to MsbossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I went to the ER when I first found out that I was pregnant. Anyway, I had three different people ask me if I was pregnant when the urine sample was sitting on the counter. At another ER I had a nurse...

  10. Restraint-free facility?

    rosey2007 replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hate it when they run out of fall mates and use regular mattresses on the floor. I have tripped on these and almost fallen. Oh and I almost forgot, how about when you have to do a brief change on...

  11. First Nursing job, and I drowned!

    rosey2007 replied to galenanurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IMO I think that they were setting you up to fail. You already had way too many strikes against you when you started that shift. Hopefully your next job will be

  12. Nurse to Nurse Abuse (how do I fix this)

    rosey2007 replied to PACURN27's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks OP for this question. I was a CNA and have had some similar issues as you have

  13. Help speeding up

    rosey2007 replied to Cranberrygirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't like the sounds of this place and I would recommend running far away from there. 40 residents is way to many to

  14. Nursing and sexual orientation

    rosey2007 replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a CNA I would rather work with a male CNA or a male nurse. I feel that their is less drama and they are usually stronger when it comes to lifting

  15. Use your call light - Wisely

    rosey2007 replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would much rather them hit their call light then be have to run to a bed or chair alarm lol. I remember being a patient in the hospital and I hit my call light, because I would need help going to...

  16. new job and pregnant?!?!

    rosey2007 replied to rntobe10's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait to conceive a baby right now, because you will be starting a new career. A career that is very stressful and you will probably need time for your body to get used to the job. I ended up...

  17. Restraint-free facility?

    rosey2007 replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The last LTC place I worked at was restraint free also and it was a nightmare at times. Bed rails had to be a doctor's order before they could be placed on the bed. They say it is a dignity thing, but...

  18. CNA class while 6-7 months pregnant?

    rosey2007 replied to Lauren0106's topic in General Nursing

    Don't do this class until after the baby is born. Your body is not going to be able to handle lifting people when you are not used to it. You may also expose yourself to certain disease that could...

  19. how to be efficient

    rosey2007 replied to 567 SeaOtter's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The other good thing about this is that you have a witness to the residents who like to complain about their care. I also liked working this way, because you are not always looking for your team mate...

  20. tips for feeding a stroke patient?

    rosey2007 replied to tsweetie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am not recommending that you try this unless the nurse is okay with it, but I am thinking that the other CNA's might be putting the food in a cup for this resident to eat

  21. have an interview and am pregnant

    rosey2007 replied to melmarie23's topic in General Nursing

    I was trying to find a job a couple of months ago pregnant and I had the same question. I still wonder is it was because I was pregnant that I did not get the job, or if it was my resume. I did not...

  22. Is your hospital discontinuing isolation precautions?

    rosey2007 replied to gypsyd8's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I used to work in LTC and they also also started to put mrsa patients in semi private rooms. I worked as a CNA and most of the nurses would not even tell us which patients were infected with it ....

  23. i just don't know what to do !!

    rosey2007 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    rosey2007 replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing
