    Glycerine82 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhh yes. I need 24-48 hrs to recover. If you don't work along side a good cna I can see this happening to RNs as well. I'm hoping my brain will be more tired than my body by the time I get there....

    Not willing to do the dirty work?

    Glycerine82 replied to stratus93's topic in General Students

    It drives me insane when nurses forget that nursing assistants are there to help them do their work. It will always happen but ya know what? The nurses who don't routinely help are just gonna have it...

    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    Glycerine82 replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's not unreasonable if your sick or if you can't get the flu vaccine. I was just stating my opinion, if you aren't able to get the vaccine that is a totally different situation than someone who...

    It SHOCKS me that so many health care personnel would choose not to protect their patients and others because of a couple of days of flu like symptoms. Just think of the risks you are already exposed...
