Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hi Calin, Hey Fred, Hi Jason Brown, Hi Morning Shelby.
Shelley is here, Babahamini's here as well. Kiki's Court is

Speaker 3 (01:14):
There's a fire at the nurses station.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My favorite part of the teas is that part headlines
biggest stories of the day, fun facts, and the entertainment
reports coming.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Up a fresh show. It's court. All right, the honorable
kik aleik ow on the bench.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Please all right, let's get into the courtroom.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The gabble has been hit.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It says, hey, kikey am I wrong for reporting the
evil nurse at my job.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
My name is Nina.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I'm a single mom, college student and part time CNA.
I want to be a nurse one day, but after
working with some of the most toxic nurses ever, I'm
now reconsidering. Last week, I asked the nurse I was
on duty with to help me lift a patient, and
this lady looked me dead in my face and said,
I don't get paid to white butt. That's your job.
(02:07):
I have my degree. I was furious. This wasn't the
first time that she's disrespected me. And these nurses that
I work with just sit at their desk gossipping shopping
online while the CNAs do all the damn work and
somehow they still get all the praise. So I snapped
(02:27):
some photos of her while she was asleep at her
desk and I sent them to management. Now she suspended
and under investigation. Some of the coworkers say I broke
the code and I should have kept quiet because she
is also a single mom, But honestly, I don't care.
(02:50):
Somebody had to stand up for the CNAs.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Am I wrong? Wow? Okay, judge, key, what say you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know whether you a CNA.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Or nursing assistant? Yes, so that would be like an
understudy to a nurse. It's a different level of training.
I just want to be clear that I understand the difference.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Oh yes, so.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
There's different levels, but there's different levels at every job.
And my issue here is that I don't I will
say this, I don't think you're wrong for reporting her
to management. Why because her not helping you, first of all,
with the patient, and then her falling asleep on the
job is also interfering with patient care, and that should
be everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Nurse, you shouldn't be falling asleep at work. I think
I think all nurses would agree with that. If you are,
unless it's unless you're working a long shift and there's
some sort of yes, you don't have to at me,
like if you're working and they do work long shift, right,
and if you're giving a break where you're allowed to sleep.
But I mean, if you're at your desk asleep when
you're supposed to be monitoring patients, and I think we
(03:51):
all agree you shouldn't be doing that, that's dangerous.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
And so that's my issue, right, So I don't think
you're wrong for reporting her because one, she didn't help
when you ask for help, and she was clearly maybe
available to help, I don't know. But then also she's
fallen asleep on the job. So no, I don't think
you're wrong for reporting her. And I also just want
to say, no matter what job or feel you are in, I.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Don't care the level of what you become.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You know, you can become the CEO if somebody on
the team needs help. You are not above helping. Yes,
you know, and I know not all are nurses.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I like this.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
My sister is a nurse and that she would help anybody.
This is a this is a singular problem situation. But
you know, for anyone in any field, just because you
have a few different titles or letters behind your name
does not mean you are above helping the team.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And so I don't think you're wrong in this in
this case, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I would love to know from nurses, and I know
we have a lot of nurses who listen eight five, five, five, nine,
one three five, We have probably a lot of CNA's
to listen to how you feel when you hear this,
because I would I would have to think that as
you're coming up in any field, that there are jobs
that you once did that maybe you have graduated from
in some ways, that there are people that were you know,
(05:06):
that you were ones in their spot who are doing
those jobs now right Like I would think that, you know,
maybe there are some tasks that I'm not going to
say you're above, but maybe you've surpassed. Maybe your knowledge
is more useful somewhere else. Yes, And so that would
be the job of someone quote unquote beneath you in
the hierarchy. Now again, if you're sleeping, if you're just
spout not helping people on your team, well, that's just
(05:28):
bad practice. But what I would wonder is, if you're listening,
do you hear this thing going now? Hold on, like
some of this might be true, like as if you're
at this level, you might have to do more of
that than I do because I did that already exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So there's that. There's that too that I.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Wonder about because I don't know, there's nothing here that
any of us wouldn't do. I know we've all but
yet there's also a lot of stuff that we've done
along the way that we don't do anymore. And it's
not that we wouldn't do it, it's just that now
we're being asked to do other things at a different level,
so someone else seeks to do those.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Things right, Like nurses, a lot of times they're at
the nurses station. They're not just sitting there just vibing.
They're charting, or they're they're ordering medication or you know,
they're filling out paperwork. It's not like they're just having
a great time. But in this case, she did catch
her lacking.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So because we've also encountered people over the years and
I'm not necessarily here I'll make it a more general statement.
I'm sure everybody at work, wherever you work, have encountered
the people who refuse to do the.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Menial task Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Because they've just decided they don't have to do it.
And it's like, now, hold on, you do have to
do it. And maybe I don't. And maybe I'm more
senior to you, maybe I've been around longer, so maybe
I don't know if this person has just consistently said
I won't white butts, I won't do it, right, I mean,
and it's like, well, hold on, which right? But if
(06:47):
you say that consistently, I mean the CNA. Maybe maybe
the junior person has been like, well I just refuse
to do that, and it's like, well, okay, but you
don't get to tell you don't. Maybe you don't get
to refuse it at a certain point if you're new,
where you're learning or you're coming up, maybe paying your
dues involved doing tasks that you don't want to do.
Because I'm sure all the nurses who were once junior
(07:09):
it would be like it would be like taking the
job and say I'm not working overnight or I'm not
working weekends. It's like, no, you are because you have to,
because because we all because that's that's I've been here
longer and I already did that, and so you have
to work your way up. So I want you know
there's two ways to look at this, but not being
a team player is not the answer. Jessica, you're a nurse.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Thank yes, I am a nurse.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So what do you think when you hear this story
in Kiki's chord.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm not surprised because I see it every day. I've
been a nurse almost twenty years. I'm an agency nurse,
so I'm all across Illinois. I go to about sixty facilities.
I work first, second answership. Of course, not at the
same time, but I see this everywhere I go, where
nurses have an air about themselves. I see it more
(07:56):
than I should, because this is literally a daily thing.
RENE think, no, this is below my pay grade, and
they'll tell you I don't do that. It's even to
the point, yes, even to the point where nursing students
are at the facility and the students have to just
sit in a break room for the entire day because
the nurses do not want to be bothered. They'll tell
(08:17):
you like, no, you cannot shadow me. I don't have
time for this.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
They're mean, well, let me ask you this in your field, though,
and I'm just trying to I'm trying to see both
sides of this because again, I'll say it one more time.
Being a team player, I would especially in a life
saving industry, I would think, is very very important. But
do you graduate from some tasks at some point and
consistently you don't.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
You don't.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
As a human, you do not.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
But in the culture nursing, oh please, they they'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I've heard it every day.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Fair enough. Thank you, Thank you, Jessica. I appreciate your
perspective and thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Thank you too.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is it Yalla? Yes, it is hi, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So Kiki's Court basically, there's a CNA writing in saying
that a particular senior nurse is not very helpful at work,
and then she turned her in for sleeping on the job.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So it's kind of twofold. You shouldn't be sleeping on
the job.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You probably should be more helpful and supportive of people
you know below you in the hierarchy. But yet I
don't know, do you ever graduate from certain tasks as
a nurse.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
You know what, I believe that a nursing care everybody
is a team. Like Kiki said, I started from the
ground up. I was a CNA. Now I'm a director
of nursing. But at the end of the day, I
teach my team and I still uphold teamwork. So I
will scrub down and I will be a CNA to
help my team because at the end of the day,
it's what have you done to make your residence lives better?
(09:49):
You'll be appreciated by the families. Your resident will thank you,
the patient will thank you for making them feel better.
It is a marriage at work. It's a work marriage
type of thing. And I don't condone nurses sit there
on a job. You have a right to clock out,
go set in your car, take a ten minute nap,
come back complete because if you are needed in a
code blue type of situation, you've got to be on
(10:12):
your toes. You gotta be awake to do what you
need to do.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
All right, understood? Thank you, have a good day, you too,
Glad you called so Nancy? Is it Nacy?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Is it acy?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
It's easy Nacy.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
How are you doing easy?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So? What you heard the story, and you think it
was bogus that the CNA took the picture.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Yes, I think it was bogus that the CNA took
the picture. That's our livelihood and that's the way that
she take care of her children. Now, should she had
have been helping, Absolutely, because that is all of our patients.
But no, you can't take no picture of her and
make this young lady lose her job.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
That's not right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Should you But should you be sleeping?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm sorry, Kiki, but should you be sleeping at work
if you're not supposed to be sleeping?
Speaker 8 (10:50):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
You should not be sleeping. So they were both wrong.
They were They were both wrong. But at the end
of the day, you could have You don't know what's
going on with her.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
We're all that health here.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
She could she could be narcoleptic, she could have anything.
You don't know what's going.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Is there is there an unspoken code amongst nurses that
you don't turn each other in for stuff like this.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I'm not gonna say I won't say that. But at
the end of the day, we all work so hard
for we we do. We do have each other back, absolutely, so,
I mean, you know, if somebody, hey, you want to
take extra five minutes on look on your lunch. I
got your patience, go ahead, and you know, lay your
head down in the break room.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But the other face, let me say this, so storry
to rupt you. But but if you have each other's backs,
then that has to go both ways. Like she needs
to have her assistance back, and then her assistant will
have You don't just get that by being mean to
people or like if you if you're going to be
rude to someone or tell them that you're above them,
then I don't know why you're surprised if they rid
(11:50):
on you when you're doing something wrong, Like that's is
that sort of the price.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
She shouldn't be surprised. She should have looked for this
coming because it's a it's a it's a it's a
it's a group.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I guess, okay, got fair enough, thank you, have a
good day. I got to say a lot of these
calls are kind of like they're playing both sides. It's like, well,
you shouldn't have done that, But she shouldn't be surprised
to happen. Well, I mean, in a perfect world, nobody
turns anybody else and everyone's got each other's back. Everyone's supportive.
People make me but like if I'm messing with me,
if I'm not a h a collegial co worker, and
(12:28):
then I screw up and someone turns me in, I
don't know why I'm surprised, you know what I mean,
Like I'm not I'm not a great teammate. So I mean, Caitlin, hie, Caitlyn,
turn your radio down.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Please, why you're surprising? Okay, I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Hey, when you call, turn your radio down because what
you're hearing is a few seconds behind. So when you call,
please turn the radio down.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Call Hello, Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Heina Cole, What did you want to say about Kiki's cord.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
Yeah, I just want to say, like I started out
as a CNA and I'm now like the director of nursing,
and so like working your way up, there's no task
that's really beneath you. If somebody's going to ask for help,
you get up and you help them, Like nothing is
above your titles and things like that. So yeah, I
definitely would have you know, I've seen this happen just
(13:21):
in the workplace in general, and I think that DNA
was right to to you know, send that message, and
you know, people shouldn't be sleeping on the job. The
patients come first.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Okay, fair enough, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Angie is a nurse. Hi, Angie the nurse. How you doing?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Everyone? Hey? Hey? What do you say? What's say?
Speaker 9 (13:44):
You?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Guys are the jury and Tiki score? What do you think? Final?
Say you?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Okay, So I worked at a CNA. I'm currently working
as an RN, and I have to go along with
the fact that that nur should not have been sleeping.
She should have offered her help. They should not be
acting as if they are above CNA's We all work together.
I work in the er. I just got home from
a night shift, and even the doctors are there with
(14:09):
us wiping. But quote unquote, so no, we all work together.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Okay, okay, So.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
No matter what level you're at it because I'm asking
this question because I don't know whatever level you're at
as a nurse. Even if you have assistance, there's nothing
that is beneath you.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
No, absolutely not. I'll work together. We all help each
other because if I need help, I you know, they're
not going to help me if I'm not helping them too.
It's a team effort.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Fair enough, Thank you and Nurse Auntie. Yeah huh, have
a good day. Calon's entertainment report is on the Freas Show.
Speaker 10 (14:42):
Chris Jamie or jamil is bashing tennis tennis legend Serena
Williams for becoming the face of GLP one drugs. If
you missed it, Serena did a whole media campaign leading
up to the US Open Tennis Championship promoting her use
of the weight loss drugs as a partner with roe
are Oh, which is a healthcare company where her husband
(15:03):
sits on the board as a major investor, and Serena
says that she lost thirty one pounds with the help
of the weight loss drugs that she was taking. I
don't know if it was a Zeenbic or which one,
but in a long social media rant, Jamila wrote that
these medications come at a price and that just a
quick scan of websites for the medications reveal the laundry
(15:24):
list of side effects including paralysis of the gastric system, pancreatitis, cancer,
hair loss, osteoporosis, severe malnutrition, muscle mass loss, depression, thyroid issues, blindness,
and metabolism issues. She called out Serena, saying she's really
uncomfortable with other celebrities promoting these kinds of drugs with
access to top doctors.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
She says that.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
People also rapidly regain weight after they stop using the medications.
I don't know why she's you know, I guess she
says why she so bothered that someone else is promoting it,
But she felt the need to do a long rant,
and now they're beefing over it. I guess, well, Serrina
didn't say anything cause she's get in the check. Millie
Bobby Brown and Jake bon Jovi ventured out in Manhattan
over the weekend with their brand new baby girl and
(16:08):
the stroller as they did some shopping, which is so
crazy that she, like Jake bon Jovi's like old enough
to marry. I don't know, it's just crazy. Millie Bobby
Brown's old enough to be a mo Like. It's just
very much wild. I feel like she's still a child
if you missed it. She recently shared the news that
she and her hobby started a family by adopting a
baby after they got hitched, which is an amazing thing
(16:31):
to do, thing to do, and they were covering the
little baby girl, so I didn't get a look, but
they took her out for a stroll. And lastly, Selena
Gomez was in Mexico with a bunch of girls and
she did not explicitly say this, but no Benny Blanco,
he was at home eating those big blueberries. So from
the looks of it, it might have been her bachelorette party.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't know, just a hunch.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
They were on a boat, lots of bikinis, lots of shots. Again,
I don't know if it was a bachelorette because she
did not have the you know, obligatory all white outfit.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
There were no penis situation.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
If there was no veil with with little man parts
all over it, today, it wasn't a Beats red party.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, So I don't know. And if there weren't matching shirts,
then there wasn't Debats red party. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
But Benny did say that he douses himself in Selena's
rare beauty perfume when she's away because he misses her
so much.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Isn't that beautiful friend?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So sweet?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
You love that?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, it's nice, very sweet. If you missed any part
of that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Where women's fragrances when women are aren't around romance. Yeah, okay,
it's love.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
If you missed any part of our show.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
By the way, you can type the FREDGIOE on a
man and you can catch up on everything on the
free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Speaking of Smell your home state, the state of Michigan,
Caitlin hopes that a sense will bring people to visit.
They now have it. You can purchase Michigan's Sense. Okay,
pure Michigan, Pure Michigan. The state's tourism campaign made room
and Body sprays from the Sense of a Michigan Summer
m We have a lot of lavender. You get an
(18:05):
opportunity to go to the beach. There are a lot
of wineries. Also, I can smell like wine, right Gallas myself.
That's easy to do. Scent in a sophisticated way impacts
your prefrontal cortex. There's actually an olfactory bulb in there
that connects to mood, memory, and emotion. According to the
PR people, so thirty two bucks online. The product line
(18:29):
first started with summer, but then a false scent to
harvest and a winter one. First snow is coming at
later in the year. Wow, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
You need those?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, get those and then you can just come in
here smelling like your homesteak when I'm homesick? What does
Detroit smell like?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Next question?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Metal car? The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun Fact
Fred learn so much. Guys, Did you know that there
is a name?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There's an actual name for the plastic tip at the
end of your shoelace.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
There's a word for it. It's called an ag lit.
Did you know that? Jason no ag lit? Grab your
ag lit?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Grab?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It sounds dirty to say that, but oh, get your
hand off my ag lit. The chips can also be
made of metal. The purpose is to make the lace
easier to hold when running through the holes of the shoes.
Do you also know that I don't. I don't really
know how to lace shoes properly. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Like I have shoes in my I have Jordan's in
my closet that I don't. I have to watch YouTube
videos because they look kind of reverted. They look kind
of messed up, like I don't know. I don't know
for some reason that they don't look symmetrical when I
do it sometimes and I have to redo them.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
That's why you wear vans.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, well it's why I have shoes in my closet
I haven't worn because when I lace them sometimes they
don't look right. It's like it's inverted or reversed or
like or sometimes maybe I go over one but then
under the other one.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It doesn't look right.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
That's why you wear those form like velcrow shoes that
the old people wear.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh right, this the sperries. That's why I wear sperries.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Older people have like those like little velcro.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think they're called I think that's what they're called,
the sperries. This think it's the brand of the shoe.
I think the boat shoes, I think, but I think
old people wear them. I don't know if they're lying
they have velcro. I haven't looked recently, but I'm an influencer.
To send me what's new and hot, and I wear
them more fresh Show next

Speaker 3 (01:14):
There's a fire at the nurses station.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My favorite part of the teas is that part headlines
biggest stories of the day, fun facts, and the entertainment
reports coming.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Up a fresh show. It's court. All right, the honorable
kik aleik ow on the bench.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Please all right, let's get into the courtroom.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
The gabble has been hit.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
It says, hey, kikey am I wrong for reporting the
evil nurse at my job.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
My name is Nina.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I'm a single mom, college student and part time CNA.
I want to be a nurse one day, but after
working with some of the most toxic nurses ever, I'm
now reconsidering. Last week, I asked the nurse I was
on duty with to help me lift a patient, and
this lady looked me dead in my face and said,
I don't get paid to white butt. That's your job.
(02:07):
I have my degree. I was furious. This wasn't the
first time that she's disrespected me. And these nurses that
I work with just sit at their desk gossipping shopping
online while the CNAs do all the damn work and
somehow they still get all the praise. So I snapped
(02:27):
some photos of her while she was asleep at her
desk and I sent them to management. Now she suspended
and under investigation. Some of the coworkers say I broke
the code and I should have kept quiet because she
is also a single mom, But honestly, I don't care.
(02:50):
Somebody had to stand up for the CNAs.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Am I wrong? Wow? Okay, judge, key, what say you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know whether you a CNA.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Or nursing assistant? Yes, so that would be like an
understudy to a nurse. It's a different level of training.
I just want to be clear that I understand the difference.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Oh yes, so.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
There's different levels, but there's different levels at every job.
And my issue here is that I don't I will
say this, I don't think you're wrong for reporting her
to management. Why because her not helping you, first of all,
with the patient, and then her falling asleep on the
job is also interfering with patient care, and that should
be everyone.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Nurse, you shouldn't be falling asleep at work. I think
I think all nurses would agree with that. If you are,
unless it's unless you're working a long shift and there's
some sort of yes, you don't have to at me,
like if you're working and they do work long shift, right,
and if you're giving a break where you're allowed to sleep.
But I mean, if you're at your desk asleep when
you're supposed to be monitoring patients, and I think we
(03:51):
all agree you shouldn't be doing that, that's dangerous.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
And so that's my issue, right, So I don't think
you're wrong for reporting her because one, she didn't help
when you ask for help, and she was clearly maybe
available to help, I don't know. But then also she's
fallen asleep on the job. So no, I don't think
you're wrong for reporting her. And I also just want
to say, no matter what job or feel you are in, I.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Don't care the level of what you become.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You know, you can become the CEO if somebody on
the team needs help. You are not above helping. Yes,
you know, and I know not all are nurses.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I like this.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
My sister is a nurse and that she would help anybody.
This is a this is a singular problem situation. But
you know, for anyone in any field, just because you
have a few different titles or letters behind your name
does not mean you are above helping the team.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And so I don't think you're wrong in this in
this case, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I would love to know from nurses, and I know
we have a lot of nurses who listen eight five, five, five, nine,
one three five, We have probably a lot of CNA's
to listen to how you feel when you hear this,
because I would I would have to think that as
you're coming up in any field, that there are jobs
that you once did that maybe you have graduated from
in some ways, that there are people that were you know,
(05:06):
that you were ones in their spot who are doing
those jobs now right Like I would think that, you know,
maybe there are some tasks that I'm not going to
say you're above, but maybe you've surpassed. Maybe your knowledge
is more useful somewhere else. Yes, And so that would
be the job of someone quote unquote beneath you in
the hierarchy. Now again, if you're sleeping, if you're just
spout not helping people on your team, well, that's just
(05:28):
bad practice. But what I would wonder is, if you're listening,
do you hear this thing going now? Hold on, like
some of this might be true, like as if you're
at this level, you might have to do more of
that than I do because I did that already exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So there's that. There's that too that I.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Wonder about because I don't know, there's nothing here that
any of us wouldn't do. I know we've all but
yet there's also a lot of stuff that we've done
along the way that we don't do anymore. And it's
not that we wouldn't do it, it's just that now
we're being asked to do other things at a different level,
so someone else seeks to do those.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Things right, Like nurses, a lot of times they're at
the nurses station. They're not just sitting there just vibing.
They're charting, or they're they're ordering medication or you know,
they're filling out paperwork. It's not like they're just having
a great time. But in this case, she did catch
her lacking.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
So because we've also encountered people over the years and
I'm not necessarily here I'll make it a more general statement.
I'm sure everybody at work, wherever you work, have encountered
the people who refuse to do the.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Menial task Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Because they've just decided they don't have to do it.
And it's like, now, hold on, you do have to
do it. And maybe I don't. And maybe I'm more
senior to you, maybe I've been around longer, so maybe
I don't know if this person has just consistently said
I won't white butts, I won't do it, right, I mean,
and it's like, well, hold on, which right? But if
(06:47):
you say that consistently, I mean the CNA. Maybe maybe
the junior person has been like, well I just refuse
to do that, and it's like, well, okay, but you
don't get to tell you don't. Maybe you don't get
to refuse it at a certain point if you're new,
where you're learning or you're coming up, maybe paying your
dues involved doing tasks that you don't want to do.
Because I'm sure all the nurses who were once junior
(07:09):
it would be like it would be like taking the
job and say I'm not working overnight or I'm not
working weekends. It's like, no, you are because you have to,
because because we all because that's that's I've been here
longer and I already did that, and so you have
to work your way up. So I want you know
there's two ways to look at this, but not being
a team player is not the answer. Jessica, you're a nurse.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Thank yes, I am a nurse.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So what do you think when you hear this story
in Kiki's chord.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
I'm not surprised because I see it every day. I've
been a nurse almost twenty years. I'm an agency nurse,
so I'm all across Illinois. I go to about sixty facilities.
I work first, second answership. Of course, not at the
same time, but I see this everywhere I go, where
nurses have an air about themselves. I see it more
(07:56):
than I should, because this is literally a daily thing.
RENE think, no, this is below my pay grade, and
they'll tell you I don't do that. It's even to
the point, yes, even to the point where nursing students
are at the facility and the students have to just
sit in a break room for the entire day because
the nurses do not want to be bothered. They'll tell
(08:17):
you like, no, you cannot shadow me. I don't have
time for this.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
They're mean, well, let me ask you this in your field, though,
and I'm just trying to I'm trying to see both
sides of this because again, I'll say it one more time.
Being a team player, I would especially in a life
saving industry, I would think, is very very important. But
do you graduate from some tasks at some point and
consistently you don't.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
You don't.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
As a human, you do not.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
But in the culture nursing, oh please, they they'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I don't do that.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I've heard it every day.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Fair enough. Thank you, Thank you, Jessica. I appreciate your
perspective and thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Thank you too.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is it Yalla? Yes, it is hi, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So Kiki's Court basically, there's a CNA writing in saying
that a particular senior nurse is not very helpful at work,
and then she turned her in for sleeping on the job.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
So it's kind of twofold. You shouldn't be sleeping on
the job.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You probably should be more helpful and supportive of people
you know below you in the hierarchy. But yet I
don't know, do you ever graduate from certain tasks as
a nurse.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
You know what, I believe that a nursing care everybody
is a team. Like Kiki said, I started from the
ground up. I was a CNA. Now I'm a director
of nursing. But at the end of the day, I
teach my team and I still uphold teamwork. So I
will scrub down and I will be a CNA to
help my team because at the end of the day,
it's what have you done to make your residence lives better?
(09:49):
You'll be appreciated by the families. Your resident will thank you,
the patient will thank you for making them feel better.
It is a marriage at work. It's a work marriage
type of thing. And I don't condone nurses sit there
on a job. You have a right to clock out,
go set in your car, take a ten minute nap,
come back complete because if you are needed in a
code blue type of situation, you've got to be on
(10:12):
your toes. You gotta be awake to do what you
need to do.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
All right, understood? Thank you, have a good day, you too,
Glad you called so Nancy? Is it Nacy?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Is it acy?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
It's easy Nacy.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
How are you doing easy?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So? What you heard the story, and you think it
was bogus that the CNA took the picture.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Yes, I think it was bogus that the CNA took
the picture. That's our livelihood and that's the way that
she take care of her children. Now, should she had
have been helping, Absolutely, because that is all of our patients.
But no, you can't take no picture of her and
make this young lady lose her job.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
That's not right.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Should you But should you be sleeping?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'm sorry, Kiki, but should you be sleeping at work
if you're not supposed to be sleeping?
Speaker 8 (10:50):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
You should not be sleeping. So they were both wrong.
They were They were both wrong. But at the end
of the day, you could have You don't know what's
going on with her.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
We're all that health here.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
She could she could be narcoleptic, she could have anything.
You don't know what's going.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Is there is there an unspoken code amongst nurses that
you don't turn each other in for stuff like this.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
I'm not gonna say I won't say that. But at
the end of the day, we all work so hard
for we we do. We do have each other back, absolutely, so,
I mean, you know, if somebody, hey, you want to
take extra five minutes on look on your lunch. I
got your patience, go ahead, and you know, lay your
head down in the break room.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But the other face, let me say this, so storry
to rupt you. But but if you have each other's backs,
then that has to go both ways. Like she needs
to have her assistance back, and then her assistant will
have You don't just get that by being mean to
people or like if you if you're going to be
rude to someone or tell them that you're above them,
then I don't know why you're surprised if they rid
(11:50):
on you when you're doing something wrong, Like that's is
that sort of the price.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
She shouldn't be surprised. She should have looked for this
coming because it's a it's a it's a it's a
it's a group.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I guess, okay, got fair enough, thank you, have a
good day. I got to say a lot of these
calls are kind of like they're playing both sides. It's like, well,
you shouldn't have done that, But she shouldn't be surprised
to happen. Well, I mean, in a perfect world, nobody
turns anybody else and everyone's got each other's back. Everyone's supportive.
People make me but like if I'm messing with me,
if I'm not a h a collegial co worker, and
(12:28):
then I screw up and someone turns me in, I
don't know why I'm surprised, you know what I mean,
Like I'm not I'm not a great teammate. So I mean, Caitlin, hie, Caitlyn,
turn your radio down.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Please, why you're surprising? Okay, I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Hey, when you call, turn your radio down because what
you're hearing is a few seconds behind. So when you call,
please turn the radio down.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Call Hello, Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Heina Cole, What did you want to say about Kiki's cord.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
Yeah, I just want to say, like I started out
as a CNA and I'm now like the director of nursing,
and so like working your way up, there's no task
that's really beneath you. If somebody's going to ask for help,
you get up and you help them, Like nothing is
above your titles and things like that. So yeah, I
definitely would have you know, I've seen this happen just
(13:21):
in the workplace in general, and I think that DNA
was right to to you know, send that message, and
you know, people shouldn't be sleeping on the job. The
patients come first.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Okay, fair enough, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Angie is a nurse. Hi, Angie the nurse. How you doing?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Everyone? Hey? Hey? What do you say? What's say?
Speaker 9 (13:44):
You?
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Guys are the jury and Tiki score? What do you think? Final?
Say you?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Okay, So I worked at a CNA. I'm currently working
as an RN, and I have to go along with
the fact that that nur should not have been sleeping.
She should have offered her help. They should not be
acting as if they are above CNA's We all work together.
I work in the er. I just got home from
a night shift, and even the doctors are there with
(14:09):
us wiping. But quote unquote, so no, we all work together.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Okay, okay, So.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
No matter what level you're at it because I'm asking
this question because I don't know whatever level you're at
as a nurse. Even if you have assistance, there's nothing
that is beneath you.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
No, absolutely not. I'll work together. We all help each
other because if I need help, I you know, they're
not going to help me if I'm not helping them too.
It's a team effort.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Fair enough, Thank you and Nurse Auntie. Yeah huh, have
a good day. Calon's entertainment report is on the Freas Show.
Speaker 10 (14:42):
Chris Jamie or jamil is bashing tennis tennis legend Serena
Williams for becoming the face of GLP one drugs. If
you missed it, Serena did a whole media campaign leading
up to the US Open Tennis Championship promoting her use
of the weight loss drugs as a partner with roe
are Oh, which is a healthcare company where her husband
(15:03):
sits on the board as a major investor, and Serena
says that she lost thirty one pounds with the help
of the weight loss drugs that she was taking. I
don't know if it was a Zeenbic or which one,
but in a long social media rant, Jamila wrote that
these medications come at a price and that just a
quick scan of websites for the medications reveal the laundry
(15:24):
list of side effects including paralysis of the gastric system, pancreatitis, cancer,
hair loss, osteoporosis, severe malnutrition, muscle mass loss, depression, thyroid issues, blindness,
and metabolism issues. She called out Serena, saying she's really
uncomfortable with other celebrities promoting these kinds of drugs with
access to top doctors.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
She says that.
Speaker 10 (15:46):
People also rapidly regain weight after they stop using the medications.
I don't know why she's you know, I guess she
says why she so bothered that someone else is promoting it,
But she felt the need to do a long rant,
and now they're beefing over it. I guess, well, Serrina
didn't say anything cause she's get in the check. Millie
Bobby Brown and Jake bon Jovi ventured out in Manhattan
over the weekend with their brand new baby girl and
(16:08):
the stroller as they did some shopping, which is so
crazy that she, like Jake bon Jovi's like old enough
to marry. I don't know, it's just crazy. Millie Bobby
Brown's old enough to be a mo Like. It's just
very much wild. I feel like she's still a child
if you missed it. She recently shared the news that
she and her hobby started a family by adopting a
baby after they got hitched, which is an amazing thing
(16:31):
to do, thing to do, and they were covering the
little baby girl, so I didn't get a look, but
they took her out for a stroll. And lastly, Selena
Gomez was in Mexico with a bunch of girls and
she did not explicitly say this, but no Benny Blanco,
he was at home eating those big blueberries. So from
the looks of it, it might have been her bachelorette party.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't know, just a hunch.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
They were on a boat, lots of bikinis, lots of shots. Again,
I don't know if it was a bachelorette because she
did not have the you know, obligatory all white outfit.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
There were no penis situation.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
If there was no veil with with little man parts
all over it, today, it wasn't a Beats red party.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, So I don't know. And if there weren't matching shirts,
then there wasn't Debats red party. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:16):
But Benny did say that he douses himself in Selena's
rare beauty perfume when she's away because he misses her
so much.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Isn't that beautiful friend?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
So sweet?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
You love that?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, it's nice, very sweet. If you missed any part
of that.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Where women's fragrances when women are aren't around romance. Yeah, okay,
it's love.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
If you missed any part of our show.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
By the way, you can type the FREDGIOE on a

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Speaking of Smell your home state, the state of Michigan,
Caitlin hopes that a sense will bring people to visit.
They now have it. You can purchase Michigan's Sense. Okay,
pure Michigan, Pure Michigan. The state's tourism campaign made room
and Body sprays from the Sense of a Michigan Summer
m We have a lot of lavender. You get an
(18:05):
opportunity to go to the beach. There are a lot
of wineries. Also, I can smell like wine, right Gallas myself.
That's easy to do. Scent in a sophisticated way impacts
your prefrontal cortex. There's actually an olfactory bulb in there
that connects to mood, memory, and emotion. According to the
PR people, so thirty two bucks online. The product line
(18:29):
first started with summer, but then a false scent to
harvest and a winter one. First snow is coming at
later in the year. Wow, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
You need those?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, get those and then you can just come in
here smelling like your homesteak when I'm homesick? What does
Detroit smell like?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Next question?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Metal car? The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun Fact
Fred learn so much. Guys, Did you know that there
is a name?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
There's an actual name for the plastic tip at the
end of your shoelace.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
There's a word for it. It's called an ag lit.
Did you know that? Jason no ag lit? Grab your
ag lit?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Grab?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It sounds dirty to say that, but oh, get your
hand off my ag lit. The chips can also be
made of metal. The purpose is to make the lace
easier to hold when running through the holes of the shoes.
Do you also know that I don't. I don't really
know how to lace shoes properly. I really don't.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Like I have shoes in my I have Jordan's in
my closet that I don't. I have to watch YouTube
videos because they look kind of reverted. They look kind
of messed up, like I don't know. I don't know
for some reason that they don't look symmetrical when I
do it sometimes and I have to redo them.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
That's why you wear vans.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Well, well it's why I have shoes in my closet
I haven't worn because when I lace them sometimes they
don't look right. It's like it's inverted or reversed or
like or sometimes maybe I go over one but then
under the other one.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
It doesn't look right.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
That's why you wear those form like velcrow shoes that
the old people wear.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh right, this the sperries. That's why I wear sperries.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Older people have like those like little velcro.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think they're called I think that's what they're called,
the sperries. This think it's the brand of the shoe.
I think the boat shoes, I think, but I think
old people wear them. I don't know if they're lying
they have velcro. I haven't looked recently, but I'm an influencer.
To send me what's new and hot, and I wear
them more fresh Show next
