    CNA's that are nursing students practicing skills at work?

    Orion81RN replied to guest1115066's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Like you said it's obviously not the right thing to do. However, when I was an RN at a nursing home, I allowed an LPN to hang an IV on her patient. It's not right, but I allowed it. Also I let a CNA...

    Should I divorce my husband

    Orion81RN replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    So when this all came out, I was furious. I wrote a letter and sent a joker card with the Senator's name on it. And furious is not being hyperbolic. My husband? Didn't even ask what was going on. Took...

    New grad nurse needs help giving report

    Orion81RN replied to zbar's topic in General Nursing

    Not receiving feedback well is an issue but it is not THIS issue. There is no excuse to assume someone can't take constructive feedback so instead gossip. "They might act unprofessionally so I'm going...

    New grad nurse needs help giving report

    Orion81RN replied to zbar's topic in General Nursing

    I hate fake call outs.

    Orion81RN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    1) You are assuming that's why grown adults are calling off. Get off your high horse. They are honoring their contract as well if they have the amount of days allowed. 2) Staffing is...

    I hate fake call outs.

    Orion81RN replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this is so lengthy, but I think there are some worthwhile points: That probably felt good to get off your chest. I can understand the frustration. There are nurses who call off way too much...

    Cry me a river...?

    Orion81RN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If I've ever talked about crying during or after work, I was talking about crying in private. I've maybe cried (meaning I had a few tears) at work a couple times, a d that was just when a couple close...

    Orion81RN replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Orion81RN replied to Stitchcat's topic in General Nursing

    In regard to "short orientation:" I've never heard of an orientation being as LONG as 2 weeks in SNF and LTC. 2 weeks would have been pretty awesome. I understand being overwhelmed to an unacceptable...

    I'm in Chicagoland and called in one time due to snow. It was a short clinic day from 9a-12p at an allergist's office. So no appointments, people just walked in for their allergy shots. The doctor...

    Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Orion81RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I was escorted out the door when I refused an assignment. But I guess I wasn't supposed to do that because I'm female? I mean, that's only a male trait apparently. I didn't see any of the male nurses...
