  1. 7.5 months on floor...called Nurse LastName for first time

    Cute_CNA replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that the field of nursing has encouraged pts. to call nurses by their first names because it's less formal/more casual. I think calling nurses by their first name is to make the patient feel...

    Cute_CNA replied to beaglelover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At the beginning of each shift, ALL nursing staff who are coming on the shift at that time attend report. So everyone hears the same thing, whether it be RN, LPN, or

  10. When the Board of Nursing is out to get you....

    Cute_CNA replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what to tell you, except I'm sorry that this is happening to you. Don't flame me for this, but I've heard and experienced that kind of treatment from "higher-ups" in nursing. That is,...

  11. Residents-how do they stay awake for 24-36 hrs straight?

    Cute_CNA replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is ethical, safe, or fair for residents to have to stay up that long. How on earth could they do their job? Why does that happen? Is that legal? I'm surprised there haven't been more...

  12. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    Cute_CNA replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I won't claim that I know much about soy milk, but I will say that it makes my throat scratchy and

  13. Woman that received now face speaks!

    Cute_CNA replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what she looked like before, but I am happy that something good came out of a bad situation. I hear the donor was a victim of suicide. At least a part of that young woman was able to live...

  14. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Cute_CNA replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    The problem was, there was a response with an assumption attached. It's not wise to make assumptions w/o enough information to go on. THAT was the problem. What's up with

  15. Friend needs to see MD, do you tell them?

    Cute_CNA replied to mandana's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably say something like, "I don't want to scare you, but that looks like it could be serious. Just in case, I think it might be a good idea to get it checked by a doctor. You know, just to...

  16. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Cute_CNA replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you looked a little too deeply into my post. My point was, it's especially galling with these people because they expect primo treatment when they're not paying for it. It's bad enough when a...

  17. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Cute_CNA replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good technique. I work in a state-run hospital facility, and despite how the patients aren't paying a penny for being there, they expect what they want, when they want it. It's very annoying and...

  18. I think I'm in big trouble

    Cute_CNA replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    I also think you did the right thing. It's better to risk your job at a facility than to risk your license. You should report them to your state

    Careful with doing the above, though. Not sure I'd recommend

  20. I am a cursed idiot

    Cute_CNA replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I don't take this post as an insult. I was just being straightforward with you, epiphany, and I'm not sure how I could have used words that better described what I thought was going on. But it's not...

  21. I am a cursed idiot

    Cute_CNA replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    Are you failing to meet the expectations of the hospital, or failing your own expectations? I'm not a nurse, but to me, it sounds like you're being very hard on yourself. I wonder if you have...

  22. Evil People

    Cute_CNA posted a topic in Emergency

    I think from the get-go patients and their families need to be informed of what is appropriate behavior towards staff. If a family member becomes abusive, they should be removed by security. I also...

  23. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Cute_CNA replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of anyone seeing just the skeleton; I've always heard that you see them as they were in real life, or in a healthier state. It's also rare to hear about "ghost"

  25. I'm not getting called for an interview!!

    Cute_CNA replied to ilovebuster's topic in General Nursing

    I just prayed that you would get a job, on the condition that you meet competancy requirement for that job (which you probably do). Being unemployed
