well, there was that and I really didn't want to go to Africa. I wanted to improve my Spanish. I just had no interest in ever going to Africa. |

There is something called scope of practice and you are way outside of yours holly. lol if you think im outside my scope of practice your gonna love this one. I just trained in an 18 year old girl, with absoultely NO cna certificate or any experience whatsoever, other than working as a server down in the kitchen. yep, she's doing exactly what i am now. kinda scary! Also, there have been plenty of med errors made at my work by incompetent CNAs but i have yet to see anyone, including the nurse who sets up the meds (an LPN) go to court over it. (is it only if the med error results in serious complications and/or death?) Maybe since we are an assisted living apartment complex and not a nursing home setting by any means there are certain "loopholes" or something in the laws? The place I work is a gorgeous facility and has been voted best retirement community in the state for the past like 5 years in a row so it's not like some shady operation or anything, it's very high end and we rob our residents upwards of 10,000 dollars a month to live there...its ridiculous really. |

So estimating conservatively Jibbers is claiming here that he'll be making about $35 an hour wiping shitholes and collecting bedpans. Anyone who has investigated this crappy career want to call bullshit? Or call bullshit on his previous claims? Yay. |

I'm paid very well and have a very good situation at work, but nursing sucks. I do it for the money and only the money. It's $51/hr, plus time and a
half for overtime whenever I want. I've yet to figure out something else that would pay me that kind of money with such a convenient schedule. I learned a
long time ago to stay out of the work cliques and backbiting nonsense. The thing with nursing, as much of a shortage as there is, it doesn't feel like a
secure job because you always have in the back of your mind that one error could be the end of it all. I've been an RN for 21 years but that still scares
the shit out of me. Even though I say I only do it for the money, that doesn't mean I don't care a tremendous amount about giving good care. It's
just the management vs. staff issues, and then staff vs. staff issues are so huge and horrible that it's completely demoralizing.
Very few RNs deal with bedpans by the way. I do change diapers but that's because I work with babies. |

Do you still think babies are all cutsie wootsie? Or does dealing with them on your job all day just make you want to boil them alive in soup?

Whenever I've dealt with loved ones in the hospital, I like to go to the nursery and peek. It's always given me a lift during scary times. |

Raa, Jibbers' posts are never terribly coherent, but his claim seems to be that he'll be making $35 an hour after CNA training, not as an RN.
And just checking a web site designed to recruit CNA candidates, they claim that the salary range for CNAs is less than $30,000. Yay. |

Right now as a temp, I am making 38k a year ($18.50 an hour).
When I switch to perm (which I won't, since I told my job I may be going to nursing school and I'm all honest and shit), I will make 68k. |

You're turning down a $68k job to go to nursing school? That's awfully good money for a recent college grad.

This is a frequent topic of conversation at work. They're are over a billion people in India, yet the women behave as if they've never seen a baby before. Or is it just the women that come here? It's so frustrating trying to help them with breastfeeding. |
