I agree with one of the other posts. No matter your title you should be proud of yourself and others for choosing this wonderful profession. I was a cna, cmt and there were plenty of nurses at the time that loved to see me come to work and felt safe. I wouldnt know what to do if i had my patient load, charting, admits/readmits, treatments, and the list goes on, and not have a cmt or cna to help. I would make that my last shift I do know that. All I can say is check your facility policy before you plan to practice there, if they are using cmt's then you know you shouldnt be there. You more than likely couldnt handle it anyway. I work in LTC, when the cmt makes a mistake she/he receives the med error. However, if I am the one wrote the order and for whatever reason is an error, it is then my and the med tech's problem. We are not all perfect and im not saying some of us claim to be. I believe there is a place and a need for every title in nursing. We should respect all of them. There are plenty of places to work and you shouldnt work anywhere if you dont feel comfy or confident you can do your best, thats why we have this wonderful thing called "choice". I choose to work on a team. My team is made of physicians, Rns, Lpns,Cmts,Cnas. Our focus is patient care, the quality of this care is based solely on each team member giving 100%. I respect all. sorry so long...shell

See if she is aware of the aide doing this. Maybe its her that doesnt have the midnight rule. Sounds like if the aide is taking advantage of her, she needs to deal with this one and give her time she will buck up. I believe its her own battle.

I took my boards in 2002 and had all 205 questions..needless to say I need to retake. However, several of us had the max amount of questions and still passed. I have not yet taken the test again due to divorce, remarriage..lost of interest and obviously much regret. My hubby is constantly ragging to me about retesting and knows how much I want this. Any suggestions on refresher courses or these online booklets "guaranteed" to passing the nclex. my test anxiety doesnt help matters much but I know that I have the heart for nursing and will never be completely happy until I prove this to myself. Opinions welcome!
