Yes it's pissing me off that everyone is telling ME what happens at MY ER. Last story. I had a nurse tell me a story, which happens to her friend. Her friend is a nurse, she pissed off an aide. The...
FlyingScot. Okay, I agree with your perspective. I have delegated in this manor in LTC. Which is something I am not use.to. I am an ER nurse. Nothing is planned out. We ALL FALL into place, without a...
Read what I have written. I AM AN ER NURSE. My daughter is 17 and works PRN as an aide. SHE IS TREATED LIKE CRAP! I started working at an LTC facility as an experiment. My experiment is over, they are...

But there is ALWAYS an option. They are able to say no What if they are in the middle of ambulating an unsteady patient, and you say Ms. Jones needs, such and such now. The aide cannot say no?...

I am on a kick right now so please bare with me. I LOATHE nurses talking $h*t about CNAs. I LOATHE nurses and administrators acting as if the job of the aide is ignorant, monkey work. I LOATHE that...
So I started as a CNA and worked my way up, minus LPN. I now find myself with a BSN and a blur of my days as an aide. I recall feeling underappreciated and lower than dirt. I remember being "told" to...
