How do you treat headaches?

Here is a great old fashioned "cure they pts can do all by their little lonesomes! My son at age six used to take his little ring fingers fourth from his thumbs) place them on either side of my a person's temple(forehead ) and gently rub tell them close your eyes, imagine a peaceful place.

Patient Care Technology thank you, its too new for most places, some hospital staff think PCT 's are C N A's, wrong.I had to take exams to get a license,some PCT's are taught to do everything LPN's and RN's can do. Clinicals were at a hospital on a telemetry unit for 300 hours, with 300 hours in palliative care in Hospice.I worked as soon as I graduated since I acquired my PCT license as soon as I could, was told I was hired because of my PCT license, and from a great school that has as a teacher an RN for 18 years who made sure her students knew their business and ethics.Maybe those in question are not licensed to pass out medicines, maybe they are PCT's or worse, but the only difference between a NCPCT( Nationally Certified PCT with a license) with 25 years of experience (and legally certified to pass hospice meds under pt and doctors orders) and a LPN or even RN is :a PCT is not allowed to pass out meds, and can perform nursing routines like IV's, catheters only if it is legally in that agency's policies etc. is which I hope the above people who are giving out medicines that are addictive and dangerous and illegal remeber. Believe me I have been in the business of caring for the dying for over 25 years, and will continue for 50 more and not settle for ancient remedies like poor unethical wokers passing out illegal dangerous substances. I was not hired to keep my mouth shut, in fact my workplace has a zero tolerance for substance abuse and illegal use of prescribed drugs. What do you do? Do you have a job? I have had mine a long long time and get paid very well thank you please. I and my colleagues have only five pts at the most in a setting of only 70 pts at full house... a dream job compared to others. To get a PCT license, one needs to have a CNA License, it used to be called a certification, this year its changed, as did the CPR manuevers, ie 15 compared to 30 compressions etc. We answer to the pts first, with their doctors and nurses care plans followed , not according to our own preferences and such...

Wow very interesting. Our hospital uses PCT's but none of them have any type of certification (much less a license) except their CNA. What body issues the licenses? Sorry just had never heard of this.
