    Texting while doing patient care?

    Baubo516 replied to klone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that her behavior was unprofessional. I definitely think you should report it. It's a nice idea to try to approach her first, but if it takes too much of your time, just email her...

    "Dooo your balls hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie 'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow..." yousoldtheworld - That is freakin' hilarious! I could hear the song in my head as I read...

    What kind of shoes do you wear for work?

    Baubo516 replied to missie1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am not a seasoned CNA, but have been working as a CNA since July 2011. I have a pair of Saucony walking shoes that have been very good for me. They are supportive and mad of leather, so they wipe...

    CNA now or wait for nursing school

    Baubo516 replied to jbhvbc's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with the above posters - being a CNA before becoming a nurse is pretty much all plus. The evening shift (in my opinion) is slightly less busy, too, so it shouldn't be too stressful. I did...

    Thanks for the replies! It is an ADN program at my local community college. I have an undergraduate degree in education, but I am changing careers. Once I start, the program will be 4 semesters...

    the young eating the old??

    Baubo516 replied to nursecat64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Random question - what does COW stand for? I tried Googling it but I kept getting lots of info on bovine creatures. Googling "COW - nursing" was even worse. You can imagine the pictures.

    Just Amazed

    Baubo516 replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    It sounds like the teachers at your school could use some training in dealing with non-emergency situations! Also - training in treating a fellow staff member with respect. I see a topic for a...

    SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    I just wanted to say that the phrase "hairy butt cleaning skills" just made me laugh out loud. Thanks - I needed

    By the way - are you a male pre-nursing student? I didn't really think you were "pre-male" as stated in your original

    Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    Baubo516 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with "kids," that your feelings toward female genitalia probably have something to do with your age. I am 38 years old and have been married for 12 years. Seeing male genitalia just isn't a...

    Will I be facing discrimination?

    Baubo516 replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Men in Nursing

    First of all, I think it is weird that your church only allows women to care for children. So, women can care for young boys, but men cannot care for either gender? Very odd. A better system for...

    I am a new-ish CNA. I have been working at my first CNA job since July 12, so I just had my 90 day review, which went fine. I work in a long term care facility. I am feeling pretty conflicted about...
