  1. 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. 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?

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

    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?

    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?

    Could you clarify which aspect(s) of nursing you're interested in?
  7. So embarrassed, just want to vent.

    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. 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. 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?)

    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. 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

    Prune juice! Lots of it! Edit: milk can sometimes make you go,
  13. Nurses all come from DYSFUNCTIONAL backgrounds??

    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...
  14. ghosts...

    I was
  15. ghosts...

    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?

    I really do not see how his dignity was taken
  17. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    I suspect this thread may be closed soon. It's outlived its
  18. talking to folks with schizophrenia

    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

    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?

    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

    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?

    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?

    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

    I would actually prefer actively hallucinating patients! :selfbonk:
  25. RN made me cry today at work!!

    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...
