    Afraid to be a CNA!

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

    Glycerine82 replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, I said my peace. I just know what kind of nurse I don't want to be, and that's a good thing. I'm not going to have this argument over and over. It's just my opinion and God knows it doesn't...

    Seriously? Honey? Seriously? Anyone who doesn't like patient care shouldn't be a (bedside) nurse. Patient care is all things related to NURSING. The profession that you joined. What, I'm not a...

    Glycerine82 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously hate when I hear stuff like this. There has to be a line. In my LTC facility the patients are not able to refuse things like brief changes unless they are A&O in which case they get...

    Woah. I know the rights by heart, first of all. I don't violate any of those rights. I guess I should have said Professional caregiver. Up to 13 patients at one time, and sometimes you have to...

    Poochie-- If the resident has dementia and always refuses a shower, sometimes they DO need to be coerced into taking one. You can't simply say "Ok lets get in the shower". for one thing--they may...

    What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    Glycerine82 replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone else said when the un-plesantries of the job are combined with a real live person who needs you to help them, it changes the whole idea. Its no longer a task you didn't want to come...

    Glycerine82 replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You couldn't be more wrong. The reason you have CNA's is so that they can help you do your job. It is all " Nursing work" there is no such thing as "CNA" work. IMHO you should absolutely not have...
