I have been an aide for the last 11 years and now I've been thinking about taking that next step into nursing as an LPN. I work @ a community hospital and the LPNs do the same as the aides, but make more money doing it. I have noticed in my short time @ the hospital, that some of the RN's that I work with, are lazy and expect the aides to do their jobs. this is not acceptable by any means. What i'm asking is, why did they become RN's if they're not going to do their own job? just a comment about the resident, I think it is in their nature to be paranoid as well it is any health care employee. One minor mistake could turn into one big fuck-up, w/the he said she said bullshit. Most of the time the truth seems to be obsolete?jessyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-79604887616292980552009-06-15T17:13:21.680-07:002009-06-15T17:13:21.680-07:00I always love seeing what "special" thin...I always love seeing what "special" things other department employees do: He jumped someone's car in the parking lot!

I always used peppermint, kept them in every pocket that I ever wore into work. The only thing is that the smell of peppermint activated my pea size, yorkshire terrier activated bladder and that led to "hold-on a minute, just hold that position - I'll be right back.....didn't work so well in the ER. My best advice - keep a full change of clothes in your locker, right down to the socks and shoes. Unless of course you enjoy announcing to the world that you've got human waste on your scrubs (yours or whomever's) then going and sorting through hospital scrubs that were made to fit a stick, a really skinny, and a really really TALL stick. AND having to go through the OCD lady that guards the hospital scrubs, WITH HER LIFE.<br />Just a thought....Grammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640780063556877552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-27641178722457253682009-05-12T02:22:00.000-07:002009-05-12T02:22:00.000-07:00I guess that's one reason to be grateful that I wo...I guess that's one reason to be grateful that I work at Big County Hospital that is chronically underfunded due to the high ratio of uninsured, indigent patients - no Muzak, no carpet, no customer service emphasis. We put broken people back together and we discharge them when they're ready to go. The end. <br /><br />We do have patient surveys, but they're primarily about health and safety things like "did your nurse check your nameband every day?" and "how was the noise level in your room?", not "was the food delicious in every way?" or "did the nurse bend over backward to fulfill your every request for filtered spring water and vegan sandwiches?"girl_in_greenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337410012641477994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-76214402750295820302009-05-11T22:59:00.000-07:002009-05-11T22:59:00.000-07:00One word: Union.

Residents who think they know it all (AND DON'T!). Improving rooms to make them "pretty" or "hotel-like" but so not practical for nursing care within the hospital. And the whole idea of "team" nursing?? Great concept if they would hire enough staff to actually do it right. And the cost of hospital food, even with an employee discount is outrageous!!! Not to mention that the food is totally not worth the price!!!One Nursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063978678436812270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-3186267723045014282009-05-11T13:23:00.000-07:002009-05-11T13:23:00.000-07:00Aaaahhh... refreshing to have someone discuss the ...Aaaahhh... refreshing to have someone discuss the REAL things to prepare for in becoming a nurse.
