  1. Dealing with borderline

    The next ones we get on our ward, I'll send them to you to
  2. Dealing with borderline

    I was kind of alluding to this in my original post. Part of the problem is, this person is dealt with inconsistently. Some people act like they don't care how she acts. But what about people like me...
  3. This made my day...

    It makes a lot of difference, doesn't it? That is nice to see that someone has manners from time to time. Entitled people are very
  4. Has anyone ever taken Latin?

    I didn't know that. They didn't teach it in my high school. I still wouldn't bother, lol. Of course, I don't plan to become a nurse,
  5. spooky spooky spooky

    ah, the Brown
  6. Has anyone ever taken Latin?

    I wouldn't bother trying to learn Latin as a language, but rather just medical terminology. I'm sure you'll never use it in conversation. If you take the class, they might just focus on conversational...
  7. Sick of it!!!

    but the problem is, who's going to be processing the film? i doubt every hospital has a photo lab, and taking it to wal-mart would violate the patients' right to confidentiality. also, manipulating...
  8. Sick of it!!!

    Thank you! That is a very nice thing for you to say.
  9. Worst nursing experience

    I have been irritated with other CNAs, too, for this reason. Like, I can ask if they can help me clean up a patient, and they just look at me. Seriously. And I hate it when we have pull-ins from other...
  10. Worst nursing experience

    Just so you know, the situation had nothing to do with me being irresponsible. It was just plain mistreatment, and other people have said so themselves. The nurse in question, to my knowledge, had to...
  11. Having to wear a button like that makes nurses appear incompetant, which is very insulting. If I had to wear it, I would wear it on my bum to show that the people behind this idea could kiss my ---. I...
  12. The "bully" nurse

    Yes, that's a big one! I forgot about that one. I can't stand people who do that, especially when it's someone who has authority over
  13. funniest thing you saw a nurse do.......

    You mean the flatulent nurse?
  14. The "bully" nurse

    Someone who is constantly and unnecessarily evaluating your work. Someone who doesn't fail to criticize, but never encourages. I'll think of more later,
  15. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

    I don't think these things are weird. You're just trying to protect yourself and other
  16. CNA appreciation :-)

    That's a very nice thing for you to do, although I do not know the answer to your
  17. I don't understand this profession..

    I've suspected the same. Very good
  18. Has anyone ever been assaulted by a patient?

    :uhoh21: Anyway, at my hospital (psychiatric), if a patient assaults you, they do paperwork and bring in security officers. You have the right to press charges against the patient who assaulted you....
  19. I don't understand this profession..

    This especially stuck out. I think you're right, after tolerating something for so long, it becomes the status quo, and we don't challenge it. :chuckle This made me laugh, as I work at a...
  20. Reviewing stillbirth strips

    I would be concerned if I met a person who DIDN'T have a hard time seeing something like that. I think your response is
  21. I am not a mother, or a nurse, but I don't think there's anything unusual about your reaction. I think that once you become a mother, you gain a whole new perspective because children are now a huge...
  22. I don't understand this profession..

    So... why does this happen? I'm guessing, as other people have suggested, it's because it's tolerated. But why is it tolerated? I work at a psychiatric hospital, and this kind of behavior can lead to...
  23. Running About a Quart Low on Compassion?

    I hear ya. I get so sick of people coming into the hospital and complaining about how things are not just to their liking. Or, they require so much of your time just for THEM, and then they complain...
  24. I deduced that non-viable means that the baby is probably not likely to survive, but could someone give me a better definition? This thread made me cry. God bless you nurses.
  25. i need a brief description on what CNA`s do.

    One more thing... I've had older CNAs tell me this... don't be a CNA forever! Move on to something that pays better. I personally don't find it very satisfying. I'd recommend using it as a stepping...
