    New RN how to 'manage' CNAs

    Glycerine82 replied to Da-ved's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Personally, I think expecting people to keep their cells in their locker is unrealistic. I would just make it clear you don't want to see it out.......ever. Some people do need to occasionally...

    Glycerine82 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    THIS!! I can't tell you how many times I have had a "combative" patient that just needed to be handled with care!! Often times i'd get through the whole shift without being swung

    CNAs, do you like your job?

    Glycerine82 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would be a CNA for the rest of my life If I could be. I've worked with a lot of CNA's who think they are just paying their dues on the way to nursing school. I too, am a pre-nursing student, but...

    Cry baby CNAs

    Glycerine82 replied to DrkCocoMurse215's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've come across nurses who really do think CNAs are beneath them and who will ring the damn call bell for the CNA when the CNA was clearly running ragged. I've also come across nurses who feel CNAs...

    Has anyone discouraged you from nursing?

    Glycerine82 replied to miko.'s topic in General Students

    The people who have discouraged me from nursing have been Nurses. All the nurses I worked with at the hospital would tell me "You're too smart to be a nurse" Or " You need to go to school for...

    Glycerine82 replied to nervousnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OMG! *I* cannot pronounce death but a paramedic can????

    Glycerine82 replied to nervousnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    First of all there is a huge difference between a paramedic and an EMT. EMTS most certainly can't pronounce death. In my state only a medic or an MD can do that. Rns and LPNS cant. I know medics...
