  1. How often do you play hooky?

    Cute_CNA replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. The mental health of a nurse should not be discounted, or considered "hooky." Your mental health is a large part of your overall

  2. Family member sabotaging patient!

    Cute_CNA replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    She is (supposedly) a physician, but acts like she is your father-in-law's physician? If she is administering treatments to this patient, wouldn't that be malpractice, since it is NOT her patient? If...

  3. News of Mother's Death Left on Answering Machine

    Cute_CNA replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like someone who would make a sick prank call instead of a professional dealing with patients. Who would do that?

  4. Excuse me, I wasn't talking to you!!

    Cute_CNA replied to thumperRN's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way that you can get the pt.'s wishes in writing? Perhaps he could get a lawyer? I think some actions need to be taken w/o the family

  5. Tipping a doctor, acceptable?

    Cute_CNA replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    The "gift" seems inappropriately large, to me. Talk to your grandfather and find out his

  8. Help...are these feelings "normal"

    Cute_CNA replied to TallyJofutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse but I also think your feelings are normal. It is terribly sad to see a person who was once so full of life just wasting away in an environment that doesn't seem as beneficial as it...

  9. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    Cute_CNA replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes,

  10. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    Cute_CNA replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!!

  11. Nurses need strong enforceable whistle blower laws!

    Cute_CNA replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm glad that there are more nurses speaking up for themselves so they don't get walked all over, and also can help make life a little easier for the nurses that come after them. Good for them....

  12. Do patients/families that are hostile, rude affect your morale?

    Cute_CNA replied to smartynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God. I would have been so ticked. I really hate that we are in such a sue-crazy world right now. Like it's the only answer. And I think the cause is greed. I hope nothing happens for this family...

  13. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    Cute_CNA replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    I think this was rather a rude comment, and I don't think you have experienced the things I have. And since you have no idea what it's like to be me, or know who I am at all, what right does that give...

  14. Nursing Assistants Responsibilities-I Need Help!!

    Cute_CNA replied to ChattyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget what she said above... it seems that there were a few attempts made already to help this woman, but she just wasn't using the bedpan when given the opportunity for one reason or another....

  15. I'm happy to report...........

    Cute_CNA replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Good job! I hope everything works out for

  16. Looking for "Duties of a Nurse" from ~1860?

    Cute_CNA replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you could type up a few things that you've found on the internet in an hour or so. I've done stuff like that. It doesn't have to be a paper, just make a list like you

  17. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    Cute_CNA replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I would not want a male doing personal care, like a bed bath on me. Lots of people have pointed out that I'm attractive and young, and frankly, I don't want some guy to get turned on by...

    Cute_CNA replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Hospital food

    Cute_CNA replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Pureed food is nasty. I've noticed that patients tend to get fatter when they come to the hospital. But there may be other reasons (like access to the snack machines and sharing food). Sorry, I'm too...

  22. Greatest code brown stories!

    Cute_CNA replied to sweetpea839's topic in General Nursing

    If she was confused, how did she know to do all that when "manufacturing" her candies? However, if this is true, it's

  23. I'm falling for my PRECEPTOR

    Cute_CNA replied to IMA's topic in General Nursing

    I do think it is suspicious and unusual... not seeing too much of the

  24. Already Have a BA, do I need to get a BSN?

    Cute_CNA replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that you need to be at least an RN before you go the MSN route, since you have no education in nursing. I don't know if you'd need specifically a bachelor's in nursing, since you already...

  25. I'm falling for my PRECEPTOR

    Cute_CNA replied to IMA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to pass judgment on you for how you feel. It happens. However, I strongly recommend getting a new preceptor, and limiting your exposure to this man as much as possible. This kind of...
