  1. Are you allowed to use personal cell phones at work?

    lovingtheunloved replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    If it's company issued for company business only, fine. People worked at jobs for centuries before cell phones. You have 6 kids and need to be reached in an emergency? That's why your kids know...

  6. Is your facility planning for the flu?

    lovingtheunloved replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    All the residents were vaccinated, and the vaccine was offered to all employees. From what I hear, that is not the case in most places. I feel very fortunate to have received the vaccine. And I was...

  8. Newbie CNA Question

    lovingtheunloved replied to ssforcey's topic in Nursing Career

    I LOVE being a CNA. Crappy pay and all. A lot of facilities will train you. Check into local nursing homes. The hands on experience is crucial, though. We had a NA that took the class at the...

    I have no idea. Maybe my family is "lucky" enough to catch a strain that isn't in the vaccine? All I know is with my family, flu shot=flu. Maybe I'll break the cycle?
