  1. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    Cute_CNA replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    Pick your nose and flick it at the camera! Despite it being inexpensive, I don't think the state of MD would put the money out for it. Admin probably doesn't even know they exist. It's not exactly...

  2. What was harder? Non-nursing bachelors or ADN?

    Cute_CNA replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an RN (nor do I plan to be), but getting a bachelor's in psyc was not easy. Plenty of papers to

  3. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    Cute_CNA replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a state facility, so I know they wouldn't put out that kind of money to do

  4. Please help me think of a nursing-related name!!!

    Cute_CNA replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Nurse on the water"? :chuckle (I was thinking of Deep Purple) What kind of nursing do you

  5. Cna or Activity Director Advice?

    Cute_CNA replied to tonicareer's topic in General Nursing

    Careful. I get the feeling that if they expect you to become a CNA, then they will probably expect you to act as a CNA at times. In other words, I suspect that not only will you act as an A.D., but...

  6. treating a visitor of your pt? reprimanded for not doing it....

    Cute_CNA replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    this is what happens when people let the emotional stress of a situation and pressure from others influence their decision-making over their common sense. thank goodness you stuck to your guns, and...

  7. Legal rights of hospital staff against patients

    Cute_CNA replied to Cute_CNA's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this has happened to me since I've worked at the hospital. In my opinion, they don't give enough training to deflect this kind of nonsense. And here's the rub: they're psychiatric patients. So...

  8. Legal rights of hospital staff against patients

    Cute_CNA posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering: what rights do staff have when it comes to sexual harassment? If a nurse is being sexually harassed by a patient, what can be done? I don't mean, just avoid the

  9. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    Cute_CNA replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Woah, which issue was

  10. How do you take care of your back?

    Cute_CNA replied to Hannahr's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Braces in and of themselves are NOT BAD. I used to wear a Milwaukee brace. What is bad is when people don't exercise when they're not wearing the brace. I wish I had exercised

  11. Did you care for a psych patient today?

    Cute_CNA replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little tired, but here's a stab at it: I work in a psych hospital. I think that laughing at patients or poking fun at them or ignoring their illness is usually either a way to cope, or because...

  12. Does anyone else feel like there is too much gossip going on?

    Cute_CNA replied to ashley7's topic in General Nursing

    I think if people gossip TO you, they will also probably gossip ABOUT

  13. Does anyone else feel like there is too much gossip going on?

    Cute_CNA replied to ashley7's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely. People don't seem to know when to keep their mouth shut, or even consider that some things people don't want repeated (good things or bad). They don't seem to know how to keep secrets...

  14. Can I be a good nurse, I hate being a CNA

    Cute_CNA replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN! Job satisfaction is ESSENTIAL!!! I haven't yet found a job where I feel like I'm mostly

  15. Can I be a good nurse, I hate being a CNA

    Cute_CNA replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya, I hear ya. It's very depressing when you are doing the same thing every day, day in and day out, and not learning much. I feel like I have other skills that I'm not using, and that is...

  16. Desperate Patients

    Cute_CNA replied to Bipley's topic in Emergency

    :chuckle Why, thank you! I've heard being overweight is a combination of genetics and learned eating habits. One is not exclusive of the other. I do believe that being overweight is at least partly a...

  17. Desperate Patients

    Cute_CNA replied to Bipley's topic in Emergency

    I fully believe people will put themselves through a great deal of physical pain in order to avoid dealing with change. Look at how many people get cosmetic surgury to get rid of wrinkles and saggy...

  18. What sets You in a "direction" you don't wish to take??????

    Cute_CNA replied to graddock's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm. I think it can happen when you minimize the severity of the offense you commit... Or think, "Oh, it's just Patient X, who I have a good working relationship with..." (making exceptions to rules...

  19. Desperate Patients

    Cute_CNA replied to Bipley's topic in Emergency

    I think people like quick, cheap, and easy. Quick-fixes don't require a lot of effort or challenge on the part of the person doing them. Kind of like how I don't believe in dieting, because dieting is...

  20. Nurse's Rights? Is It Only Pt's Rights?

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

    If you feel physically threatened, couldn't you call the police, or call security? That kind of behavior is totally uncalled

  21. What sets You in a "direction" you don't wish to take??????

    Cute_CNA replied to graddock's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Could you rephrase that, or be more

  22. fat ankles

    Cute_CNA replied to fat ankles's topic in General Nursing

    This place sounds pretty bad. What you did was wrong, but there sounds like there's a lot of problems going all the way up to the top anyway. You might want to consider resigning, and finding...

  23. Nurses struggling with mental illness

    Cute_CNA replied to Severina's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am not a nurse, but want to let you know that I have the same problem. I'm always thinking, "I should have done this, I should have known that, God, I'm so stupid..." I really beat myself up, and I...

  24. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    Cute_CNA replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to consider a change of occupation, or work in a clinic instead of a hospital. Heaven forbid you might be expected to work on a

  25. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    Cute_CNA replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me while I :chuckle :rotfl: :roll No, because that would be giving preferential treatment to people because of their "child" status. I don't think it's fair that someone would get rewarded...
