  1. Who Should Clean Up, Offgoing Shift or Oncoming Shift?

  3. Listing license on resume

    Never would have thought to list my license on my resume, I guess I figured it's implied that I have one. However, you can look up anyone's first and last name and get their license number online so I don't understand the danger inlisting it.
  4. Funniest/strangest dementia patient stories

    OK, not an Alzheimer's patient... well it is one of his diagnoses but I really don't notice it in him at all. He's HOH even WITH his hearing aides & he had them out. I asked him if he needed help opening his banana. He acted like he hadn't heard ...

    I have patients who get offended when I remind them to wash their hands, then refuse to do so.

  8. What is your opinion on antibiotic use for acne?

    Is there a way to edit messages? I would like to clarify that as far as I know she's never been OFF antibiotics in the time that I've known her. If I can edit messages I'll add this to my other comment & delete this one.
  9. I still get out my skills packets from nursing school & go over them. Perhaps not as much as I should. It will definately improve confidence to have them down.
  10. Planning advice needed

    As far as the CNA certificate goes... I really wish I'd done it. While our instructors said that CNAs actually were at a disadvantage as far as the schooling went, I think they've had an easier time finding jobs. Job market is really tight here right...
  11. What is your opinion on antibiotic use for acne?

    I know a girl who has been taking antibiotics for 5 years for acne. I think it's insane. I've never seen acne on her worse than mine as a teenager and I considered mine pretty mild. I had a pretty rough time finding products taht would clear up my fa...

    I don't know about Salt Lake, but St. George where I did my clinicals was about the same :)
  14. Utah RN pay, Salt Lake City area

    Haha, don't know if I count as "local" just yet. I"m actually looking to MOVE to Salt Lake soon, I've been job hunting, I have an apartment lined up (it's on my sister's property) but I finally found a job opening I meet the requirements of (I'm a ne...
  15. 0.45% NS is Hypernatremia?

    If a patient's blood were hypernatremic due to rapid water loss (vomiting/diarrhea, except doesn't diarrhea tend to dump sodium too?) adding a hypotonic solution (NA .45%) would dilute the hypernatremia by adding more water than sodium without just d...
