1. Nursing staff discouraged now

   myree72 replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

   I don't agree with the usual griping that happens around the nurses station, but in this case I would hope that some visitors overhear what is being done to the nurses. I know I'm a bad girl, but we all know who fills out the surveys (family members)...

2. Is there a balance?

   myree72 replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

   It took me a few years as well, but I finally learned. I don't know how many times I went to work on my days off because I didn't have any other plans. I now realize that is just the beauty of a day off, no plans, and that we need that downtime or w...

   Wow, that really sucks. I'm sorry.

4. RN assigned as a CNA

   myree72 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   I'm pretty sure had I refused the assignment I would risk getting fired, since as it has been stated on these boards numerous times, you can get fired for any reason. Either way, not a chance I was willing to take. So, I went back to work Sunday nig...

5. RN assigned as a CNA

   myree72 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   Yes I have 13 years experience, yes I know how to do CNA duties, yet I was still uncomfortable with the assignment as I am not familiar with the CNA routine on evening shift which involves meals and bedtime, and as I mentioned before all of these pat...

6. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

   myree72 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I work with a nurse who, talking about a uvula a called it a vulva, after the confusion subsided we were all in tears laughing so hard.

7. RN assigned as a CNA

   myree72 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   I never said that I wasn't trained in patient care, or that I refuse to do CNA work. As I mentioned before the heavy transfers are what I was uncomfortable with, as well as the usual CNA routine. I know there are some nurses that will walk by a room ...

8. NCSBN commercial

   myree72 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

   OMG that's why I can never get anyone at the board on the phone!!! They were all practicing for roles in that commercial, because I doubt nurses were lining up for that job.

9. RN assigned as a CNA

   myree72 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the replies, good or bad :) What I am struggling with more than anything is that I reported that I was uncomfortable with my given assignment and it was disregarded, resulting in an injury to myself and to a patient (an abrasion & pai...

10. RN assigned as a CNA

    myree72 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    Why does this sound fishy?

11. RN assigned as a CNA

    myree72 replied to myree72's topic in General Nursing

    I need to clarify, I just didn't want my original post to be too lengthy. I provide patient care all of the time, I answer call bells, I toilet my patients when I am able to. Where I work (Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation) the patients are often times...

12. RN assigned as a CNA

    myree72 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am an RN at a Rehabilitation hospital and occasionally when I get to work I am assigned as a CNA on a team. Most recently when I worked as a CNA, which I have never trained to be, I suffered a back injury and missed 3 days of work, which in my sta...
