When you are done getting your training and licenser switch to home care.

Yes, you have those who ruin it for everyone else...the lady probably has superiority complex for feels she has something to prove ;/ It's no fun!

Exactly. I LOVE listening to people who have been at the job for awhile. These people are a wealth of information.

Talk about a fungal infection. Wipe that damp dark area!!!

Seriously? Nursing in general involves body fluid and cleaning it up. C.N.As, R.Ns, and L.P.N's clean up body fluid. If that is an issue an office job would, probably, be ideal for you. Best of luck. Oh, and there is body fluid involved with surgery.

Now, now it requires "..critical thinking skills.." no one else can possibly possess unless you are as great as the person claiming they have critical thinking skills.

Right on! Amen!

The first matter of business is for you is to address your attitude towards C.N.As. In order to impletment positive change and change the culture mutual respect needs to be established. It's something that appears, evident by your posts, to be lacking at your facility, and under your leadership.

Aimee you must be an absolute angel. If you can look at it that way than I suppose it's not so bad.

Is it not depressing?

Is it really THAT bad, being a nurse??? :uhoh21:

All patient care staff in high risk areas have to go to it..ie psych, ER, ICU, it was a piloted program last year, I believe this year we are extending it to all patient care staff. T Okay, what type of nursing encounters the least violence?Certified wimp, here.

Well, I am taking a phlebotomy course but that is not for credit- it's considered " continuing education" for a certificate. Plus, it's at another CC than the one I have attended all along. Yep, I am taking a CE course(anatomy and medical terminology for medical transcription) which is worth 3 "credits" or "units", and then 10 in "regular" college. God help me.

Would she have been allowed to take the young ladies(without parent permission) to the doctor for something other than "reproductive services"? You can't imagine what sort of forms I had to sign when my daughter wanted her ears pierced and I had to show an I.D. to show I was her mother. So I don't see why this lady was allowed to take these children behind their parent's backs.

Remember the Fort Kent school nurse? Nice to see the legal system work in our favor! It seems to be working against the parents however. I would not be happy if my daughter did not come to me and went to a stranger in her moment of need.
