  1. What can I do to combat bullying?

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I seem to attract bullies to myself. I was bullies in school and in some previous jobs, but as cna bullying takes on a new dimension. First off I should say my job does things differently and I don't...

  2. Lateral Violence

    Destiny'skid replied to Sensibility's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have experienced bullying at work and here are my thoughts. There is personal and there is professional issues. Personal issues cannot be dealt with the same way. The example of being left out of...

  3. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not even a nurse yet, but my short time in the hospital as aide made me see how much nurses do and how smart they are about patient care and how little doctors are even around and sometimes...

  4. Is health care a "right"

    Destiny'skid replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To me the question is not so much whether or not healthcare is a right. Depends how you define right. We have a serious problem in this country because healthcare is a business. Nurses probably suffer...

  5. Nurse Posts About a Patient on Facebook ... Duty to Report?

    Destiny'skid replied to PacoUSA's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Can someone clarify what a mandated hippaa reporter is? Are cna's mandated reporters? If so why cnas and not

  6. Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    Destiny'skid replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This post is a little scary to someone in nursing school. Seriously no jobs? It took me 6 months to get my current cna/ma job and I plan on working here once I graduate. I know a few people asked but...

  7. Excited about becoming an lpn

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So I finally got my acceptance letter for my lpn program. So thrilled. I am surprised how many people want to discourage that I am doing lpn- rn instead of straight rn. To me this is so perfect....

  8. Definition of the word nurse

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok so I am going to probably cause a huge reaction here but I am genuinely curious about this. As a nursing student and current cna/med aide I have heard nurses talking about the trouble with patients...

  9. Definition of the word nurse

    Destiny'skid replied to Destiny'skid's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and as I stated before this question was never about me not knowing what to call myself I NEVER refer to myself as a nurse it,just seems that according to popular culture nurses were one a broad...

  10. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just curious here, the last hospital I worked in was a magnet hospital and they were not hiring any lpn's even for outpatient. They fired their lpn's even the ones who had been there 20 plus years....

  11. Why do CNA's get low pay for the hard labor that they do?

    Destiny'skid replied to M4ri_777's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have always earned an average of 11 an hour I won't even look twice at jobs offering less than 9. I did have to get some education and considering how demanding the job is I just won't do it for...

  12. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    Destiny'skid replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    someone posed a question on here which I thought was very thought provoking why not licence cna's, and change it to lna. then they would have higher standards of accountability. make them go to school...

  13. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    Destiny'skid replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah I don't get the whole ma thing a. the program at my school I believe is longer than the pn program and then they make what cna makes, it seems like a waste for all parties I dont see the...

  14. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    Destiny'skid replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It may not be a problem I was just wondering why they would not hire an lpn to do it? where is the

  15. What happened to orderlies?

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just curious as I have been reading some about the history of professional nursing. Do some hospitals still have orderlies? If so do they differ from cna's? Why do most hospitals not have them? Is...

  16. cna caught in the middle

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a very strange thing happen to me at work last night, basically I got there and right away the charge nurse who is an rn called me in her office and gave me some instructions she wanted me to...

  17. Feeling sad about my ALS patient

    Destiny'skid replied to ekramona's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps going in the room with the cna when she is doing his care and talking about what you do that works would help her... perhaps you have already tried this. It seems unfortunately there are some...

  18. ADN or BSN which would recommend for a mom?

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in General Students

    since the pre-recs for the 2 year nursing programs generally take two years is it actually faster to get an adn? besides this are there any real advantages to ad that you can think of? I want my bsn...

  19. Is there a standard list of pre-recs for Bsn somewhere?

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since I am planning on applying to a variety of programs I was wondering if any one knew of a source where I could find classes that would apply to any nursing program. For example my local college...

  20. Advise on Communicating With family members

    Destiny'skid posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi All! I am a cna so I dont know if I am posting this in the correct space but I figure licensed nurses go through this too so I am just going to ask. As a cna does a resident/patient and their...

  21. Advise on Communicating With family members

    Destiny'skid replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes you are so right. Sorry if I kind of went off kilter there. I think what I was trying to understand is why are we as cna's there? to do things they can do but would prefer not to. As a maid would...

    Thanks everyone! Especially grn tea for your informative answer. Nurses all want to be seen as professionals so we should shoot for the professional degree. Also I looked at my local university and...

  25. Is it okay that I hate LTC?

    Destiny'skid replied to fresitachulita's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I wanted to add that not all ltc facilities are equal. As a cna my first job was in a ltc environment and after the first few weeks i started wondering if I had what it took to be cna or nurse. My...
