  1. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    MyUserName,RN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    CNA stands for certified nursing assistant, isnt assistant and aide kind of the same thing? I dont know why the term aide or patient caregiver should offend you. I dont see them as derogatory terms....

  3. Ramifications of taking benzo to deal with stress of job?

    MyUserName,RN replied to utah23LPN's topic in General Nursing

    MyUserName,RN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    MyUserName,RN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm just answering the question in the title, haven't read anything else.....my answer to why "nurses are backstabbers" is because PEOPLE are backstabbers. This is nothing different about the habits...

    MyUserName,RN replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    MyUserName,RN replied to twinjeep97's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. ** Back-priming/Back-flush Secondary IV line**

    MyUserName,RN replied to twinjeep97's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  22. If you hate being a CNA will you hate being an RN too?

    MyUserName,RN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

  24. opinions please?

    MyUserName,RN replied to rae-roo76's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it will change in the amount of time it would take you to finish your associates. People have been saying that for years. Personally, it makes a lot more sense to go for your ADN rather...
