It seems like i haven't met a nice nurse yet... They always seem to act stuck up,mad that they have to work, and take it out on there patients/residents or co-workers. I'm 18 and work as a CNA i am completing my pre-req courses for my RN. I've been promising myself i will never act like that once i get my RN! I feel that working as a CNA and seeing the other side to nursing is teaching me a life long lesson! Its like when im at work the Rn's/LPNs they act like there s$$$ don't stink!
And treat me like im some uneducated scum of the earth! Not only me but when i see them assisting the residents at the nursing home, its with an attitude. I do understand LPNs in long term facilities have lots of work to do. But dont take it out on the patients! If they ring there light 6 times in a shift i do understand it can be frustrating. explain to them why they shouldn't do it if they don't need assistants. But when your dealing with Alzheimer's patients etc you MUST BE PATIENT! In my opinion if your not a truly caring,patient,nice person you shouldn't be in this field! I understand nurses have bad days, but dont take it out on everyone else it effects everyone else's day. Just my
