  1. I got my flu shot today...

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Being bitter isn't necessarily bad, if you were bitter. I'm not feeling any animosity or anything! :) I understand your frustration. Why is it that every year there's a horrible vaccine

  2. I got my flu shot today...

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    A little bitter are we? I hope you get one. I'm probably going to get the flu anyway. My dad told me after I told him how brave I was that everyone in our family gets the flu when they get a flu...

    I don't do shots. I only like needles when they're pointed at someone

  6. I got my flu shot today...

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    I got my flu shot, and I was very brave, and I didn't cry, and the Dr. said when he makes rounds next week he will bring me a sucker. I'm very

  9. CNA is a cutter

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Psychiatric

    She knows that I know. I just feel so helpless. She also wants to be a nurse, and I'm concerned that her problems will get in the way of that. I guess all I can do is pray for her and be there for...

  10. What's Your State Hospital Policy R/T BPD/O?

    lovingtheunloved replied to autumn-moon's topic in Psychiatric

    She says she's "not a talker." I wish I could just MAKE her

  11. unfair writeups

    lovingtheunloved replied to surfnbeagle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I did. She kisses my a$$

  12. CNA is a cutter

    lovingtheunloved replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Psychiatric

    She's actually a very flexible person. She sticks up for people she doesn't necessarily like. If she does something wrong and you bring it to her attention, she fixes the problem. She IS very...

  13. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides

    lovingtheunloved replied to xmaxiex's topic in General Nursing

    Calling in and not doing their job only perpetuates the problem. Medicare recommends a CNA to resident ratio of 1:5. They're dreaming right? But seriously, being understaffed does not make it okay...

  14. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides

    lovingtheunloved replied to xmaxiex's topic in General Nursing

    I am a CNA. Yes, the nurses should help, and yes they should be nice, and yes they should be supportive, but bottom line, I am there to care for the residents. I have worked with TERRIBLE nurses....

  15. How to get physically/nutritionally fit for nursing!

    lovingtheunloved replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    I have no intention of starting a horrid fight, and I don't think LPNtoRN does either. Opinions can be shared without

  16. OT How much is too much?

    lovingtheunloved replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 21 out of 24 hours once. It sucked. I will never ever ever do that

  17. How to get physically/nutritionally fit for nursing!

    lovingtheunloved replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    Chill. I'm referring to myself and the health care professionals I know, who tell people to lose weight and then go to Dairy Queen. I don't know you or your eating habits, so there's no need to take...

  18. OT How much is too much?

    lovingtheunloved replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    That's a lot of freaking overtime. Are they calling her in? I work with 2 nurses in particular that do that. One works 0700 to 1930, and she rarely clocks out before 2130. She says her floor is...

  19. I have a weak stomache

    lovingtheunloved replied to Future_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, being a CNA will get you used to the gross. I can clean up enema results and then go eat refried beans for lunch. Sputum still makes me cringe a little though. But I can eat and talk...

  20. How to get physically/nutritionally fit for nursing!

    lovingtheunloved replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    The weight question...That's interesting. I was reading this thread and realized that there is a very small number of people I work with that are not overweight. We need to be better to ourselves....

  21. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    lovingtheunloved replied to Karen06's topic in General Nursing

    How are they treated bad? Like abusive bad? Most of the nurses I've worked with are more than happy to help, or at least direct me to someone who can. There's always that one jewel with an...

  22. unfair writeups

    lovingtheunloved replied to surfnbeagle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Where I work, you have to royally screw up to get written up. They should probably write more people up than they do. I did have a nurse once that threatened to write me up for insubordination. I'm...

  23. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    lovingtheunloved replied to Karen06's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Arizona working in LTC. I made $6 before I was certified, and 14 months later, I make $8. Pathetic, really. It's one of those things where you have to love your job. I haven't started...

  24. Bullhead City

    lovingtheunloved replied to tantalus's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I moved here when I was 5. My parents moved to Iowa last year and I stayed. It's got it's share of "interesting" people, but for the most part, I love it here. I LOVE my job. It's fun

  25. Rude Families-How do you deal with them?

    How to deal? Alcohol! Just kidding. A
