  1. Question for those of you who work in a LTC?!

  4. I'm writing up the CNA at my LTC facility

    I work in LTC and I know the way I run the unit when "i'm on duty" is a little different than the way the other nurses run it when they are on duty... I would say that vitals by midnight is a good idea that way the patient can get the most uninterupt...

  6. Outrageous Tuition for CNA Classes

    That poor baby! As you already know be careful when giving advice and encourage them to seek out a better health care provider who will explain what is going on and can give them medical advice they need. Aspiration is a life threatening condition. T...
