    Foster CNAs

    CrunchRN replied to passive sambo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sounds like you are a very caring CNA who is very frustrated with her co-workers. All I can say is that what you do for these vulnerable patients that others may ignore out of laziness is INCREDIBLY...

    CrunchRN replied to delphine22's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    There are no secrets in the hospital. Air it out. Just tell everyone that you were found to be above reproach. Stick it right in their nosy little faces and own it. you have nothing to be ashamed...
