  1. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    neuron replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    the nurse didn't do her job duties. A pt. Ended up in the ed. She notified the nurse.

  2. Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    neuron replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'd place a call to state. You can't be a bully and a 'CNA'. File a police report and then fax/mail it to the state. See them act that way when the state investigator walks through the

  3. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    neuron replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    On my end, I would do everything to not forget. Don't let them pick on you. They are finding things. One thing about ltc is that they can be 'friends' with others and set you up. Have a clean slate...

  4. Being micromanaged by a CMA?

    neuron replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    As a med aide, I could not care less if the nurse before me leaves an applesauce there. charts, forgets, or leaves a medication wrapper. I simply clean it up. No need to really say anything as there...

  6. Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    neuron replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    #1. Some people feed off med errors. #2. Find out 'why' you made the med error. Busy? Wanting to finish the task? Too many patients? #3. Identify what you could do to prevent that med error. i.e....

  7. Onward to Texas!

    neuron replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    Men give up their seats on buses, and if you say 'no, that's ok, you sit down' (in order for them not to be bothered), they won't sit down until you sit. Courtesy is inbred for

  8. The sloppy image of nurses today

    neuron replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Most companies have polices to appear professional. They are rarely enforced. I don't have a problem with green streaks in someone's hair, it is the tattoos. Tattoos all up the arms, and in the neck....

  9. Onward to Texas!

    neuron replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    I wouldn't move to Amarillo, but if you have friends there then that is a different story. Many people work in the big 'city' but live in a small town outside of the city. One person I know lived in a...

  10. Made a child with cancer cry.

    neuron replied to Girlafraid13's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    "Hold his hands from throwing the 'lego's' and say "let's not throw the lego's ok". He doesn't have to hear the 'don't throw toys at 'nurses' deal. Making a child with cancer cry to me sounds sick....

  11. can I work as a CNA if my RN license is inactive??

    neuron replied to AniraP's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a good idea if you need a job, needs hours and want experience. Once you're in as CNA, it is easy to get hours, as there are call offs very often (where I've

  12. Annoying CNA

    neuron replied to Bellaxx392's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You've don't know me and never worked with me. LOL. You say this because I won't allow myself to be betrayed by a nurse? If you let yourself be betrayed, go ahead. But for me, no

  13. Got a job in Home Health

    neuron replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you feel like you've gone down a step or four with home health, in the end, if you have diverted drugs, you were caught stealing from your employer. Corporate leaders go to jail for that arrogance....

  14. Annoying CNA

    neuron replied to Bellaxx392's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No maam. She is an attentive and caring CNA and wondered why the nurse didn't get to it within a 4 hour time frame. Some details are left out. Was the nurse at somepoint sitting at the nurse station....

    neuron replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    Give them 5 years with the corporate hospital and they will be where you are

  16. I want to quit ICU after one week.

    neuron replied to Lady4Scrubs's topic in Critical Care

    I remember the first dead body I had to clean as a CNA. I got through it but it was more a learning experience. I knew the lady, from the facility and I enjoyed going in to her room. Very pleasant...

  17. hiring older nurses

    neuron replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    Can't speak as someone who hires, but I love working with older nurses. I'm talking 50, 60 and 70 years old. They seem to care more and are concerned about their job. They are less likely to judge a...

    No

  19. I've been suspended

    neuron replied to Sheila2155's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't just 'ignore' a student who says something about your patient. To me that is rude. You are in a position of responsibility. Maybe you could have said 'In what way?' Demonstrate concern....

  20. Should we put up with verbally aggressive relatives ?

    neuron replied to Charlottemay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Way I see it is, a relative should not interfere with passing meds. Period. If a relative gets nasty, I will say don't interfere with me passing meds. Even if you are in a room, discussing meds (or a...

  21. Why so rude?

    neuron replied to Theresa92's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    She is a CNA student and going to a long term care facility. In my experience, nurses,cna's/staff in ltc don't show to be the most loving in this work environment. LVN's with attitudes and staff that...

  23. Medication error

    neuron replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I made a medication error, but with the horrendous amount of patients I can see why. In the end it was my mistake, gave wrong medication to 75 y/o patient. No one hurt, but I take extra time to make...

  24. Does anyone know Spanish?

    neuron replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students

    I have learned that a lot of phrases are the same, and they will make it simple for you and not think it's funny if you don't

  25. CNA Accused of Abuse

    neuron replied to halerac88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would leave the room or mark 'patient refused'. If you were helping a co-worker, remove yourself away from the patient. Your certificate isn't worth losing over an unruly
