Rn not giving scheduled meds

speckleddove · Sep 5, 2006

good for you!

that's what i would want someone to do is ask those questions before they accuse some-one.

why is it that so many nurses and even more cnas, seem to be dead set on getting nurses into trouble.

what do they gain by playing the rummor game?

if she never gave them that narcotic count would have been caught immediately.

did she lose the cart key and borrow from another cart?

when will the back stabbing in this noble profession ever stop!

your not going to get ahead in this business unless you have more and more training.

backstabbing only gives trouble makers a thrill.

eventually those types are jobless and friendless.

cnas tick me off, where do they get off even discussing nurses duties!

they lack a nurses education and training and have no darn business sticking their uneducated noses in a nurses business.

i have run onto too many cnas that do not even know how to read a b/p .

they are simply illiterate and jealous of nurses.

if it bugs them that much, let them go to nursing school try to fill even the slowest nurses shoes, then lets hear what they say then.

i find that hard to believe.

why, because other nurses would have caught that very quickly.

especially heart medications.

speckledove - Your posts have so much truth to them, but I don't think it's fair to lump all CNA's together as illiterate or troublemakers. I work with one right now who is wonderful - she has had years of experience and I couldn't get through the noc's nearly as well without her.

Yea, your right. I actually didn't mean to imply all CNAs are that way.

I tried being friends with my CNAs but the nicer I was to the, the more they seemed to resent me.

I always tried to educate the ones willing to learn or that asked questions.

But some of them took my offerings as an insult when I didn't mean it to come off that way.

I finally gave up on trying to be friends with people I worked with.

The nicer I was to them the more they thought I was trying to steal their jobs or that I was trying to spy on them.

I laughed when a CNA told me another nurse had made the statement that I was trying to make her look bad just because I would help her get wound care done.

What could possibly make someone take an act of kindness and team work and twist it into such a crazy thought.

Blows me away when people say things like that.

I'm danged if I do and Danged if I don't.

Steal a job, yea right!

The only way anyone could steal a job is by getting more educated, spending more money and time in colllege.

I have been in college or some type of training since 1988.

I have had my fill of college and training.

I like who and what I am.

I am very proud or my skills and Title -LVN.

I worked hard to earn the right to wear my white uniform and yes even my cap.

I grew up admiring my Aunt Loraine, an RN in Michigan.

She was my hero, if I ever really had one.

I wanted to be like her.

Neat, clean, respected and stay busy.

I hate sitting still and is why I never wanted to be an RN.

Most RN's I see are stuck in paper work or IV's.

Not my cup of tea.

I am to hyper for that, well was to hyper.

This cancer gets me so drug down so suddenly.

I feel great for a few hours then boom I'm nearly on the floor.

This change of life the drugs are forcing me into is not pleasant at all.

I always thought hot flashes were just sensations, I didn't realize you actually pour the sweat and it feels like my neck is so swollen I can barely move.

Say that reminds me. Is anyone else on Femara 2.5mg?

Does it make your joints ache all the time?

It sure does me.

However my bone scan came back in good shape though.
