  9. crocs

    Mine are off-white...I believe the color is called Pearl. I love my crocs! They feel like walking on pillows...I definitely want to get a few more pairs :monkeydance:
  10. Does it matter?

    :yelclap: Thank you so much for saying that! I recently graduated from an ADN program, and I had one recruiter talking down to me because I didn't have a BSN. Fortunately, I found another hospital...

    So, did you get a chance to talk to the
  12. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    Doncha just hate that?!? I was a CNA for 7 years, and I remember a handful of times when nurses would just sit around bs'ing, and there'd be half a dozen call lights going off...hello?!? It's not...
  13. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    :madface: My dad is in the hospital and is getting IV antibiotics...the cannula became dislodged, so he needed a new IV. This "nurse" (and I use that title loosely with this person) came in and made...

    :yeahthat:
  15. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    Yes; however, as we all know, a CNA still has a certain responsibility to check the elimination and repo status of his/her patients/residents. Although I don't agree with anything else this particular...
  16. Where were u 9/11/01?

  17. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    Sorry that you have to put up with this person...although she's acting like a nutjob, I do have to agree with her when she said it's her responsibility to see if everyone's dry and repo'd. Not...
  18. Some ER nurse I am

    I'm so sorry for your loss and what you're going through right now...as far as work is concerned, I'm sure given the circumstances, they would understand. May you find comfort and solitude during this...
  19. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    Well, in the original post, I was just venting...I was only focusing on what was making me upset, not the whole picture...oops, my bad Yes, I really did try to compensate for what I blurted out,...
  20. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    :chuckle
  21. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    Sorry, but this is inaccurate...perhaps I didn't properly explain. I was referring to past experience during clinicals when I saw other nurses doing things not "by the book" and my reaction to that,...
  22. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    It doesn't matter as long as it's in not the same vein?!? Now why didn't my instructors tell me THAT?!? They pounded in our heads that you NEVER NEVER go distally--that once you've started a site,...
  23. Gross Out Co-Worker

    :chuckle Reminds me of when I was a student in clinicals...one of our group members was sitting at a busy nurse's station doing some charting...several of us saw her picking her nose and EATING it!...
  24. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    Thank you so much for your response...it's nice to know that there are nurses on this board (you and a few others who've responded) who aren't ready to jump down my throat and criticize my feelings....
  25. grrrrrrrrrr.........

    Honestly, I don't know the reasoning behind what I said or why it came out at that moment, because it wasn't really relevant...she got a flash the first time; all I do know is that it was her...
