PEDIATRIC INTERIM CARE CENTER was my understanding. Google it. :) i stand corrected. Nonetheless, fishy. The snarky low blows are actually quite amusing. :)

Congratulations! @

She's here for help. Park the attitudes outside plz

Fishy fishy. If the er released you then there must be nothing wrong And if I'm not mistaken, picc is a place for newborns to recover from physical dependance to narcotics. The docs/nurses are trained to watch for these signs. Half the moms who come visit try to get high. I know the place well. And I know that the staff is highly intelligent and sharp. They are hound dogs for addictive behaviors hence you gave multiple reasons for red flags. Denial is also part of addiction. ....not trying to upset you, but I think you know what the issues are here.

Also, consider the grass is greener theory. Maybe try doc office before investing more time & money.

My husband is a dentist and the office pays hygienists 60 per hour and they can pick up more hours at other clinics if they choose. He gets just as many nut job scenarios as a lot of nurses but it probably depends on office /location/clientele.

Wow.reconsidering nursing. And a huge hug to all of you who do it every day.

Also....making it right.......diddo. :)

It sounds as though there are more ego trips on this forum then anything else. If your confidant as a nurse, and love what you do.....then........who really cares what other people stoop to make themselves feel better? Let God deal with the things they do. And there are ALWAYS bad apples....and RN/LPNs are not the exception to that rule.....maybe the CNAs are not the only ones who are insecure......

Holy moly. Good to know these battles are ahead of me. I think this is common in all professions. I am currently getting my CNA and believe me when I say it is not my first choice. From what the RN at the school told me, they are overworked and underpaid. (Sadly, as are a lot of people in the health care profession.) I became pregnant with my husband 4 years ago and had to drop pursuing my prereq's for nursing school. Meanwhile, my husband completed dental school and is now a first year resident as a new dentist. When we moved out here in August (Washington State), it suddenly dawned on him that NOW he wants to go even further and specialize in pediatric dentistry. Sadly, we are in debt over 300 thousand dollars for his schooling and will hit 500 before he finishes specializing. I guess my concern is that it seems almost as if CNA's are simply not respected and disregarded. I have a handful of friends who are CRNA and also RN's and the way they talk about the aides is REALLY beginning to stress me out!! Is this how I can expect to be treated or thought of once I start working? I feel as if this is the closest thing I can do to make money and help pay for this RIDICULOUS debt until it is finally my turn to start my career. Also, just for some input, I come into my husbands office quite a bit for lunch and often times hear the dental assistants say they are " same as hygienists", or "applying to dental school" when they have yet to take English 101 at the local community college..SOOOOOOO....again, I think it is quite common. Personally I truly admire both aides and RN's and hope that whereever I end up working, will learn from both of them. I have noticed that at the school the CNA training us is on a major power trip.....I don't think anyone has ever made me feel smaller. Ugh. This stress is eating me up.
