  1. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    MegGusta replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sure you have notice by now, SunriseDay, that all of the "not rude" nurses have come out of the woodwork to scold you While I do not condone generalizing that behavior to every nurse, as we...

  2. Legal responsibility to perform CPR?

    MegGusta replied to smellslikesarah's topic in General Nursing

    I am honestly a little sketched out by that policy, as I am a CNA. I know that help should definitely be alerted before compressions begin, but to leave the dying patient laying their to seek out a...

  3. Did anyone feel this way when they first started working as a CNA?

    MegGusta replied to FNP2B1210's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I hail from Florida, and let me just say that the programs here basically intend to pump out ALF/Nursing home flunkies. I do not mean to knock what us CNAs do; it is an essential civic duty to our...

  4. Is becoming a CNA (and getting hired) hard?

    MegGusta replied to mhy12784's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My personal experience was taking 4 days of cramming CNA classes in a rinky-dink trailer, challenging the exam and passing, and getting hired at a home health agency 1 week later. They employed me...

  9. School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    MegGusta replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    NutmeggeRN, I did not claim to be able to assess the same as a nurse, that I was a nurse, or that I do everything a nurse does. In fact, I specifically mentioned that I am missing many important...

  10. School nurses and other RNs not supportive of decision to send their child home

    MegGusta replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    Thank you, that means a lot. I may not be as qualified but I have my own valuable skills. Being a Health Assistant at a charter school is a lot different than someone on the outside may think. I spend...

    MegGusta replied to rollernurse365's topic in School

    My heart goes out to you! I hear you on this issue. So many nurse moms fight me on my decisions and they do not seem to remember that I have the jurisdiction to ask for a student to be removed from...
