    Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    nursel56 replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The majority of the first post speaks for itself. It was this ending that caused me to believe it was in response to this one:...

    Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    nursel56 replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So all anyone has to say to us is "hey this is a challenge!" before they call in the dump trucks full of crap? She isn't the first person who found nursing to be not as advertised- and I'm sure that...

    Encouraging peds parents to call/text the nurse during off-hours? Common occurrence?

    nursel56 replied to klone's topic in Pediatric

    No, not appropriate for reasons stated by others. It's not therapeutic for the families, and feeds into the type of personality that likes the ego stroke of feeling

    I appreciate that you are getting so much appreciation, mindlor! If only that appreciation would translate into a safe assignment that would prevent the inevitable trainwreck from occurring down the...

    Have you ever cried when a Pt died

    nursel56 replied to Topaz7's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Yes. Children who died never having a family to come and visit them, or outright rejected them because of their physical condtion. Close, long-married couples when one of them dies unexpectedly. I...

    HR lied to Unemployment!!

    nursel56 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    If you secure another job or enroll in school - that is traditionally the end of your unemployment claim for that period of time. Some states run their own job training sites, but other than that you...

    Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    nursel56 replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If people choose to subscribe to the notion that a nurse is an angel, a saint or a martyr - those are your reasons, but to impose those associations on fellow nurses and expect that they similarly be...

    Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    nursel56 replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So if you find yourself in an environment where you are overworked to the point you can't get to the bathroom, treated like a waitress and working in a chaotic environment as far as policies and...

    Nursing is slavery Period!!!

    nursel56 replied to sonia211's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it really is that simple. I never had a calling. I went to nursing school for purely practical reasons. Had there been a huge demand for graphic artists or window display specialists...

    I don't think being a CNA is right for me.

    nursel56 replied to white8tiger6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's perfectly OK not to love doing those tasks and only those tasks. You don't seem to be developing a callous attitude and you know these functions are essential to the health of the whole person...

    Employment

    nursel56 replied to chach1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was out for a while raising kids, too. I probably wouldn't state it like that on my resume because I found it will come up during the normal course of conversation. They usually go through your...

    Did you keep your nursing books?

    nursel56 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I still have 3 or 4 of my first set, which was from the '70s! The information in it is really outdated but the really groovy op-art lime-green and turquoise swirl cover art is just too retro to throw...

    She got fired...

    nursel56 replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    Pre-nursing student or not - you have an essential quality that will help you succeed, the ability to poke fun at your own situation with humor instead of getting defensive! Best

    HR lied to Unemployment!!

    nursel56 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah - Having been familiar with someone going through this process, it is the norm for the employer to lie. I didn't know that, and it was a shock to me. They also drag the process out over several...

    HR lied to Unemployment!!

    nursel56 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    There is both an employer account (unique) and a pool account. Depending on the circumstances an employer may have their account charged or partially charged, which is replentiished through their own...

    HR lied to Unemployment!!

    nursel56 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely appeal that decision. I'd suggest you read everything they have on your state's unemployment website and start writing a narrative about what happened and when, including records...

    Why is there so much rudeness?

    nursel56 replied to KB1975's topic in General Students

    I think I'd rather be bludgeoned with matter-of-factness than given a little pinch to the cheek and a spray of unicorms and rainbows if I had to choose now. Would I have wanted that at age 19?...

    I'm a CNA, not a MAID.

    nursel56 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't argue with that! Although you mentioned this isn't an LPN thread both RNs and LPNs are asked to do the family's laundry, scrub the bathroom tiles, function as a waitress at their dinner...

    I'm a CNA, not a MAID.

    nursel56 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A CNA who works in someone's home is called a Home Health Aide where I work and their job description does include housework, laundry, putting groceries away etc. Why is that

    Spouses being asked to leave the room

    nursel56 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My husband was in the room for my C-Section and I had a VBAC 2.5 years later. I feel like an outlaw.

    nursel56 replied to KB1975's topic in General Students

    Thanks - I wouldn't want you to post anything that made you feel someone could recognize themselves. As for anger, you're a better person than I am then because there are people around here who...
