  1. Misconception about CNA's by CNA's (re:meds/treatments/licenses)

    Cute_CNA replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    When you said "them," it was a bit ambiguous. "Them" could mean all CNAs, or just the ones you mentioned. That's why it's important to

  2. Misconception about CNA's by CNA's (re:meds/treatments/licenses)

    Cute_CNA replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    So, uh, could you clarify the point you're making? Are you saying all CNAs are that way, or just the ones you encountered? I don't consider myself to be "just like an LPN," ever. I don't even consider...

  3. Why did you decide to become a nurse?

    Cute_CNA replied to toddster's topic in General Nursing

    Um... there's a sticky thread at the top of this forum acting almost an identical

  4. Dealing with borderline

    Cute_CNA posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder are some of the least favored in the hospital I work at. Or at least, so it seems. Lately, we've been getting these patients who insist at talking at...

  5. to tell or not to tell?

    Cute_CNA replied to ablynn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not a nurse, but I agree with the other posters about reporting what you see. Think about it. These nurses you see are role models for the students. If the students see sterility as something...

  6. Any good books about nursing?

    Cute_CNA replied to Kay28's topic in General Nursing

    Could you clarify which aspect(s) of nursing you're interested in?

  7. So embarrassed, just want to vent.

    Cute_CNA replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Like the others have said, I am very sorry to hear that you were treated so poorly. Those women should have been more concerned about your health and well-being than that stupid chair. And they...

  8. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    Cute_CNA replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    If the punch caused you physical pain (and you think that it would have caused someone who DIDN'T have a bad shoulder pain as well), then yes, report her. Think about it, if she's willing to do that...

  9. My first and hopefully last resignation letter I will ever have to type...

    Cute_CNA replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    If you find another job, that can be your excuse to quit. I agree with what others have said about giving notice. But it's really up to you. You might want to consider if your feelings are "I CAN'T...

  10. UUUGHH (White-coat syndrome?)

    Cute_CNA replied to jbeck817's topic in General Nursing

    That is very true. I also think people "dumb themselves down" or act like they aren't of much use so they can get out of certain responsibilities. Another explanation is that people call themselves...

  11. My first and hopefully last resignation letter I will ever have to type...

    Cute_CNA replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read about your situation, but I'm sorry to hear about what's happened. I know what it's like to be pushed to the breaking point at work (from jobs I've been at in the past, not necessarily...

  12. Constipation Tricks

    Cute_CNA replied to caringRN's topic in General Nursing

    Prune juice! Lots of it! Edit: milk can sometimes make you go,

  13. Nurses all come from DYSFUNCTIONAL backgrounds??

    Cute_CNA replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    An "enema girl" :chuckle :rotfl: I guess in some ways, she still is one! I don't see where talking about how nurses supposedly come from a dysfunctional background is supposed to help morale. I think...

  15. ghosts...

    Cute_CNA replied to lynni's topic in General Nursing

    It's a good idea to check around before starting a thread. Though these were buried a few pages back. No pun intended. https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12142...

  16. I shaved off a patient's mustache. Was I wrong?

    Cute_CNA replied to NebbyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I really do not see how his dignity was taken

  17. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    Cute_CNA replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect this thread may be closed soon. It's outlived its

  18. talking to folks with schizophrenia

    Cute_CNA replied to elizabells's topic in Psychiatric

    I think a good way to keep a schizophrenic on topic is by placing him/her in an environment where there are few distractions, such as an area of the ward that's a bit off to the side. Just make sure...

  19. my sad nursing story

    Cute_CNA replied to mgyurzaman's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, but maybe you just need to find what area of nursing is most suitable/comfortable for you?

  20. Pregnant while working Psych?

    Cute_CNA replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Psychiatric

    I work at a psych hospital, and have not heard of this as being a problem. If I were you, I would refuse to take part in restraining patients, however. There's just too much risk, in my opinion. I...

  21. 5 items

    Cute_CNA replied to design_student's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm. ID badge w/lanyard. Pen. (I guess there's really only 2 things that are crucial; my pen is usually attached to my lanyard). I keep most other things in my locker, which is easily accessible. Many...

  22. I shaved off a patient's mustache. Was I wrong?

    Cute_CNA replied to NebbyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, I had already considered the "loss of identity issue" (however, many men grow back moustaches very quickly; we're not talking about a full beard here, which takes longer), I didn't consider that....

  23. I shaved off a patient's mustache. Was I wrong?

    Cute_CNA replied to NebbyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I think this woman is overreacting "just a little bit." Come on, now. You didn't amputate a limb. Moustaches can grow back. I don't think this woman will be taken seriously. I think she's just being a...

  24. Dealing with borderline

    Cute_CNA replied to Cute_CNA's topic in Psychiatric

    I would actually prefer actively hallucinating patients! :selfbonk:

  25. RN made me cry today at work!!

    Cute_CNA replied to jacob1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that sometimes we need to let things roll off our backs, but I don't think that this behavior should be TOLERATED. By tolerating it, it is allowed to continue, instead of standing up for...
