I am a nursing assistant and at the nursing home where I work nurses are being mandated to work as cna's for RN pay. This has caused all heck to break loose. Many nurses are leaving because "I did not go to school to do aid work" This whole mess s...

I have worked as a CNA in a nursing home for over seven years. I have now graduated with my Bachelors degree in a different field. I have now left nursing all though I sometimes do work on call. My question is this who is for and who is against ra...

RNPD, I would rather chat with cna's in our own little corner but that is not available. I very rarely post on actual nursing issues. I claim no nursing knowledge about giving medicine or any other pertinent nursing issue. Why, because I am ...

In nursing titles seem to really matter. There is a definite rank and file and people work at all different levels. Susy K you talk alot about your education which I think is great. Usually people go to college to do a certain job or to work in a ...

I work as a cna on the weekends. During the week I work with young offenders. I am taking a home health position this summer. I decided to pursue a career in criminal law and hope to one day pratice as a defense attorney. I have an A.A and a B.S i...

This B/B is good therapy for me. I have been a NA for eight years and I am still very young. I am at a transitional point in my life right now. I have an interst in nursing because I am a cna and it is my job. No it is not my career but I still h...

Boy, I am glad that I had the good sense to study something other than nursing. Realize too PROFFESIONAL NURSES that cnas do go to college. Unless you ask them you have no idea about someones educational background. I am not an RN because I did not...

I apologize I know this is off topic. But, why did you become a lawyer? Is that what you always wanted to be or did you change careers? Did you put yourself through law school by working as a nurse?

I am a cna and will be a law student. I for one could care less about becoming a nurse. However I work in the nursing field and I consider myself part of the nursing team. Yes, there are differences between nurses and aids but we are all taking ca...

I respectfully disagree with all of you. Remember too that not all sex offenders are violent rapists who prey on children. Several sex offenders are convicted of statutory rape and you would have to read the case file to truly understand the circum...

This is a very creative judge. I am however against punishing people who have finished their sentences. You should be able to function after being released from prison. This example of deterence general or specific is bound to cause trouble. Why ...

Stacey, I am a cna like you and I know how you feel. Somedays I feel like I work in an assembly line and the products we are working with are humans. It is easy to feel very overwhelmed but remember you can only do your best. Your job is a ver...

I have learned that I will be attending law school and I am so happy. My concentration will be litigation. I will be studying both criminal and civil litigation. I plan on taking electives in medical mal-practice and also in health law. My questio...

Thank you for all of your replys. I hope to practice as a criminal defense attorney but it is always good to have other interests. I will be sure to seek expert advice when needed.

Rhona, Keep standing up for yourself. You have passion and you will go far. I encourage you to pursue your goals and ignore any and all negative comments. Working on the bottom can be a great motivator Good luck with school! ------------------...

Hi Rhona, I have worked as a cna for over eight years. I have worked in both nursing home and hospital settings. In a nursing home nurse aids tranfer, feed, take vital signs and help residents with their everyday living skills. The job is ver...

I was trying to make the point that nurses work in the human services. Their work is helping other people. Most people who work in human services do it for more than just the money. ------------------ Nursing assistant

Susy K, I can assure you that a little bashing doesnt scare me. I posed a very simple question one that required a very simple answer. ------------------ Nursing assistant

I should not have to say this but here goes. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice. Yes, I know a little bit about the field. However, I have worked as a cna for eight years so nursing is also an interest of mine. I have worked ...

Susy K, As you said earlier we all have choices. If nurses are going to complain about the money they should leave the field. Other professionals who work in the human services make less than nurses. A good example is social workers, police ...

Nursing student Laura, I was refering to the pay of professionals working out side of nursing. ------------------ Nursing assistant

Peggy, You should talk to her first and see what is going on with her. Let her know about your concerns. You are the boss so it is your responsibility to be proactive and prevent any future harm if this person is endangering any patients. ...

I am a twenty-five year old cna from Michigan. I just recently left the field of nursing to pursue other goals. I work with young offenders by helping them to complete their GED's. I will be starting graduate school soon. I hope to one day work a...

I am curious how can nurses argue that they are under paid. Try to support a family on a nursing assistants wage sometime. Nurses are paid very well compared to other professionals. ------------------ Nursing assistant
