  1. I quit my good paying job to attend a CNA class. Anyone else?

    Cindy_A replied to Ling07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have to third that opinion about quitting your job. Quite a few of you sound like you have no idea what a CNA does. When I took my CNA class, 16 people started only 2 finished. You will be cleaning...

  3. Things that leave you stunned.

    Cindy_A replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I had a man who came to our facility after his wife died after a long bout with cancer. The wife's brother came in later and asked the husband to look at his truck because it was making a funny...

  5. How far can a patient go?

    Cindy_A replied to junebride's topic in General Nursing

    You are also blessed with management that backs you up, some nurses aren't as lucky. I'm glad you do what you do, keep it up!

  6. Don't know if this is legal or not....

    Cindy_A replied to jadey1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think the fact that they've been through their 4th Administrator and ADON and 3rd DON says a lot. They obviously don't give a whip about you all. I'd find another job ASAP. Good

  7. Retirement from Nursing to Employment of Another Type

    Cindy_A replied to Dangerous's topic in Retired Nurses

    I'm an RN, going to school for accounting. I'm not working right now, I'll be finished with school at the end of the year. I am so glad to be out of nursing. I never want to go back. If your husband...

  9. Nurse reality show

    Cindy_A replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I think if there ever was a REAL nursing reality show, people that aren't nurses wouldn't believe it. But then again, if a reality show was made, there would be great staffing, etc....

  10. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Cindy_A replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I don't think it's dumb. You can't leave it dislocated, and if you weren't able to pop it back in yourself, you needed to have it done, if there was no one else to do it for

  12. Would you "Facebook Friend" a Professor?

    Cindy_A replied to MHaffer's topic in General Students

    I would not facebook friend a profesor, nor would I become a facebook friend if I were a professor. I think that doing somethng like that takes the student/professor relationshio to a "pal" level. I...

  13. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Cindy_A replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I'd say the people at the store were being overly cautious, but there's no reason for the nurse to make you feel like

  14. Nurse Burnout and being overworked

    Cindy_A replied to lbookie's topic in General Nursing

    Like Eriksoln said earlier, much of the venting here is not just venting, it is the truth!While a few things may be exaggerated, many are not. Mgmt doesn't MAKE you stay over, you HAVE to to get your...

  15. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Cindy_A replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a thread for NURSES to vent about patients. She wasn't a nurse at the time. I'm sure a lot of people could vent about nurses when they were patients, but this thread is for NURSES to

  17. Considering Nursing, Need Advice!!

    Cindy_A replied to AZ3Mike's topic in Male Nursing Students

  20. Quitting my job this morning to go into the medical field

    Cindy_A replied to winterallsummer's topic in General Nursing

    I hope things work out for you. I think you will find out when you are a CNA if the medical field is right for you. It sounds like you have everything well planned out. Good

    Cindy_A replied to Sara5229's topic in General Students

    When I started working at the hospital I was oriented by LPNs, they were very good. Just because they are LPNs, doesn't mean they don't have the knowledge. Here in IN, there are a few things LPNs...

  22. What's the saddest thing you've seen in your career??

    Cindy_A replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I realize you were doing your clinicals, but did you ever find out what happened to the uncle? Didn't anyone investigate? What was the nephew's excuse, or did they just not come

  25. Math Wiz needed

    Cindy_A replied to Veritable_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It does seem a bit strange, since the percentage total is 115%. Your total points as a percentage are 230.95. The total points possible by percentage is 275. So if you divide 275 by 230.95, that...
