  1. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    DesiDani posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Or unit secretaries who believe they literally run a unit. These people have no medical training at times and are not certified or licensed, yet they feel they have the authority to tell the RNs what...

  2. What HARD truth have you learned once you became a nurse and/or CNA?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good or bad. About the field in general, humanity, or society? How does that truth effect you and how you do your

  3. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    DesiDani posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

  4. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Isn't the point is to scare people into getting the vaccine. COVID after all is deadly (true) so why not put a little deadly fear and shame on the ignorant who won't get vaccinated. Don't...

  6. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Irony. Is it true or not? Will anyone who is not vaccinated either die or may eventually be the cause of others to die because they will spread COVID? Isn't that the desired and only message that...

  7. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    DesiDani replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So does that mean if you are not vaccinated and get COVID you are likely 100% (with a few exceptions) guaranteed to end up in the ICU and then die. That if you do get COVID and if you are not...

    DesiDani replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The experience of a CNA makes all the difference, just like it does with an

  11. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

    DesiDani replied to azulaflameRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it also depends on where a CNA has worked. In a LTC facility they may have an leg up with basic ADL care. If they are from a hospital and has yrs experience working in an IMC, ER, or Med-Surg...

  12. CNA's Are Tired Of Laziness

    DesiDani replied to mlmckenzie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    CNAs get paid minimum wage in some states. Take that into account when reading all of the Task that they do. When the issue of patient to staff ratio comes up they are most likely referring to RNs. I...

  13. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    DesiDani replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know, that was the reason for my post. As if just because only RNs and physicians didn't leave does not mean that any hospital can survive without the support staff that possibly did leave because...

  25. Do you ever get disappointed when certain nurses call in?

    DesiDani replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot. Especially when a leach doesn't have their tool to run ragged and that person can't find a replacement for the shift. Gotta get wise
