  1. Dealing with borderline

    Cute_CNA replied to Cute_CNA's topic in Psychiatric

    The next ones we get on our ward, I'll send them to you to

  2. Dealing with borderline

    Cute_CNA replied to Cute_CNA's topic in Psychiatric

    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...

    Cute_CNA replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    Cute_CNA replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    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

    Cute_CNA replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    ah, the Brown

  6. Has anyone ever taken Latin?

    Cute_CNA replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    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!!!

    Cute_CNA replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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!!!

    Cute_CNA replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you! That is a very nice thing for you to say.

  9. Worst nursing experience

    Cute_CNA replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    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

    Cute_CNA replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    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. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    Cute_CNA replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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

    Cute_CNA replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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.......

    Cute_CNA replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    You mean the flatulent nurse?

  14. The "bully" nurse

    Cute_CNA replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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.....

    Cute_CNA replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think these things are weird. You're just trying to protect yourself and other

  16. CNA appreciation :-)

    Cute_CNA replied to RainbowzLPN's topic in General Nursing

    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..

    Cute_CNA replied to smg's topic in General Nursing

    I've suspected the same. Very good

  18. Has anyone ever been assaulted by a patient?

    Cute_CNA replied to OUBobcat94's topic in General Nursing

    :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..

    Cute_CNA replied to smg's topic in General Nursing

    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

    Cute_CNA replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    Cute_CNA replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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..

    Cute_CNA replied to smg's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    Cute_CNA replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    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. Non-viable baby, born alive -parent won't hold him, what do you do?

    Cute_CNA replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    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.

    Cute_CNA replied to nursingstudent714's topic in General Nursing

    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...
