  1. Newborn pictures posted on social media?

    macenroe replied to sandy79's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why would anyone want their picture taken with some random baby, that wasn't even their kid? For what purpose? I'm not trying to be mean, but I honestly don't understand the reasoning behind this....

  2. boundary violation

    macenroe replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I personally wouldn't do it. When I am at work, I am there to work, not buy makeup and jewelry. You might want to check your company policy. Many places don't allow soliciting of any kind. That...

  3. Do you "tell" Facebook where you work?

    macenroe replied to RN403's topic in General Nursing

    I think that I am the only person in the world that doesn't have, and has never had, a Facebook account. It's not something that I am interested in. It's not just a privacy issue with me, but I just...

  4. Can't decide which job! Help!!

    macenroe replied to j14e's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely weigh the pros and cons of each. I personally know which job I would take, but it all depends on where you think that you would be the happiest. In the Dr.s office, you wouldn't...

  5. Nurses selling at work?

    macenroe replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "School fund-raisers tell students to ONLY sell to people they know; family, friends, immediate neighbors they know very well and NOT to go door-to-door." T-Bird 78, I couldn't get the "reply" or...

  6. Nurses selling at work?

    macenroe replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am against soliciting of any kind at work. Thankfully, I work at a place that doesn't allow it. However, I have worked at other places that did allow it, and it got tiring. It seemed as if...

  7. hiring person inappropriate?

    macenroe replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    I always try to give people "the benefit of the doubt", but that's just me. Only you know what kind of vibes you were getting from her, and whether they seemed malicious or not. I have a slight...

  8. Worked 24 hours/3 consecutive 8hr shifts

    macenroe replied to marcjuico's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that the U.S. has any laws dictating how many hours a person can work consecutively, with the exception of airline pilots and truck drivers. I once worked an 18 hour shift, and...

  9. Nursing Student Issues

    macenroe replied to WanderLust07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The first thing I would like to know is; How can I get a job there? Seriously though, I didn't even know that naps were considered "common practice" in the work place. It certainly never has been...

  10. Lifestyle Discrimination

    macenroe replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am 45, overweight, and a smoker. I work 40 hours a week, and I very rarely miss time from work. Perhaps, one or two days a year, if that. I can't even remember when I went to the doctor last. I...

  11. Personal Information

    macenroe replied to kheadrick's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My last name is on my badge too, and I've never really thought too much about it. I work on a dementia unit in a LTC facility, so the residents have a hard enough time remembering my first name, say...

  12. Who looks out for them?!

    macenroe replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, let me clarify that I know what the definition of "unskilled labor" means. As I said before, I understand what the OP was trying to say. It was just my opinion that maybe CNAs shouldn't...

  13. Who looks out for them?!

    macenroe replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    As I said before, I understand what they were trying to say. I just felt that a better choice of words could have been

  14. Who looks out for them?!

    macenroe replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what the OP was trying to say, as well. I simply stated that it sounded a bit harsh, even if that wasn't their intention. "Unskilled" sounds like we are brainless and unimportant. I...

  15. Who looks out for them?!

    macenroe replied to tlklvn13's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! Unskilled labor? Although I'm sure it wasn't your intention, that comment sounded a little harsh. Being a CNA/CNA-M myself, I take offense to that. Not everyone can physically or emotionally...

  16. Weather Policy

    macenroe replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Everyone's life matters, and we are all created equal. Do you really think that your life is more important then those of your coworkers who DID show up for work? I live in the upper northeast, where...

  17. The DON told me she feels like full-time is "too much for me"...

    macenroe replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, you still have a job there, so I would use that to my benefit. I would be available anytime that they needed me. That way, you can show them that you are a valuable employee, while gaining...

  18. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    macenroe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that you may have missed the point that I was trying to make. I wasn't advocating laziness. In fact, my post in it's entirety, stated just the opposite of that. I was just saying that every...

  19. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    macenroe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Every generation thinks that they had it so much harder then the ones that come after them. "These young people today, don't know what hard work is". I have heard that statement so many time over...

  20. Tired of discrimination

    macenroe replied to Al.ginger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I doubt that you are being discriminated against. In my experience, everyone in America has rights, EXCEPT the white

  21. Bitter Cold

    macenroe replied to HikingEDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with you kylee. Wind chill is the perceived notion of temps being colder than they actually are. It does not affect cars. I live in the northeast, and the actual air temperature...
