    Mirai Kangofu replied to nellwolfe's topic in General Nursing

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Aneroo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, I though I had it bad. My facility is a very highly ranked one, but that's because the assisted living and retirement home for Catholic preists are wonderful, not the regular nursing home. On my...

    Mirai Kangofu replied to nursewannabee's topic in General Nursing

  6. "Natural Cures"

    Mirai Kangofu replied to seeking33's topic in General Nursing

  9. Yeah, that's right, it's my fault.

    Mirai Kangofu replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Why doesn't anybody complain about the doctors' salaries? I'm not trying to divert the blame, just wondering why we get the blame and they don't. Yeesh, I know that they're being paid to get sued and...

    Mirai Kangofu replied to DeltaX's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was there on the 15th, and I held up a sign that said, "Allnursing.com Forum Meet-up?" but nobody responded. I was wearing black slacks and a lavender cardigan, if anybody remembers me. I bullshat...

  12. Treating residents/patients like idiots

    Mirai Kangofu posted a topic in General Nursing

    While I was doing CNA clinicals, I've found that so many people talk to elderly people like they're idiots. I'm talking about the people who use excruciatingly s-l-o-w, simple speech in a loud tone...

  16. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    If you're going to perform autoerotic asphyxiation, as embarassing as it is, at least have someone there to release you from your noose if you pass out! It's extremely sad when your family has to...

    goldbond is #1. i use the regular lotion, which you can buy travel-sized and keep refilling. it's not greasy, and it's 5% dimethicone so it's some heavy-duty moisturizing without the

  18. Plebian who wants to be tactful

    Mirai Kangofu posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started a job as a CNA, and I have acknowledged that I am a plebian compared to the other CNAs who have been doing it for years. However, I've been spotting some shoddiness that I want to...

  19. Plebian who wants to be tactful

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    Mirai Kangofu replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm surprised that she's getting away with this, considering that people are getting fired from office jobs after looking at Media sites, even

  21. Plebian who wants to be tactful

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    ^Yeah, you're absolutely right. The only reason I gave that speech to the CNA was because 1) she's younger than me (fresh 18), and 2) she's trying to get into nursing school and already comes to me...

  22. Plebian who wants to be tactful

    Mirai Kangofu replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

  23. Message from a CNA

    Mirai Kangofu replied to aspentree13's topic in General Nursing

    At my job, CNAs are the ones who run the place (not literally) and are a bunch of hardasses who will not take crap from the LVNs or RNs. There are some who have been here for 5+ years, and they are...

    Mirai Kangofu replied to aspentree13's topic in General Nursing

    Q: How many nurses does it take to change a light bulb? A: None, they make a CNA do it. I'm currently a CNA, but the grass doesn't look much greener on the other side because I have plenty of nurse...

  25. CNA's

    Mirai Kangofu replied to mary777's topic in General Nursing
