  1. Is nursing school supposed to be harder?

  2. Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

    well CNAs work their butts off! In some places like assisted living facilities they are overworked. To top it off they get paid very little to bathe, VS, and whatever else their told to do. I totally agree they need to be taught right. I think for so...

    well first of all, i wouldn't take no advice from anyone that says the program is not hard! lol is that a joke.....stick with what you know and forget all that she says.
  4. Disgusted - wipes for bathing

  10. Hey everyone, i am a second year nursing student (RN) and i notice a lot of controversy about LVNs saying they do exactly what a RN does. Can someone clarify the two??? i have an idea, but would like to know the major differences. Our LVNs come in ou...

  12. night shift and hypoglycemia??

    it does sound like bad habits catching up with you, plus the night shift, most definately a change in your body. You really need to ask yourself, am i sleeping enough, and yes not eating or drinking enough can cause a low blood sugar, a normal low bl...
