Personally, I wouldn't want a home birth. a) in case of emergency, I want to be at a hospital; b) ew; I don't want that mess at my house... or the memories (especially if something goes wrong); c) When I think of delivering a baby, I automatically th...

*Hugs* Your story brought tears to my eyes. I'm a nursing student and I'm not sure if it was in class or on a thread here that was discussing whether family members should be in the room during a code. I think it is much more important to include th...

I'm for it as long as we follow a model that works in other countries that have socialized healthcare. Question for Jewels... you do know that UK (and pretty much every modern nation) has socialized healthcare too right? So by hypothetically moving t...
We used those in one of my nursing classes. We didn't have to buy for them though. We were assigned a number so I guess if it was missing you would be held accountable.

As a new cna I don't usually find time in my day for all of the patients to get baths and usually have to rush through it if I do give a bath. However, when night shift comes on and I tell them this they get annoyed because I guess they never do bath...

I agree with getting BSN. A lot of job postings state that they prefer bsn over adn. If you can, get your prerequisites at a community college (make sure your credits can transfer). It is usually cheaper than going directly to a university. *Researc...

There are some CNA's that don't do anything. However, as a cna myself on a busy floor I try my best. But I'm new also so I'm still getting used to doings things as fast as possible and figuring out things that don't go as planned. I do however, answe...
Oh wow, my program is no where near that bad. 80% of the professors are nice and are very approachable. There are a few bad apples, but the previous semester always warn us. I have to say I love my class too. We all help each other out, stand up for ...
That is a major issue. A lot of women go to ob/gyn for birth control. Also, I know its your values/beliefs but as a health care provider your job is to provide teaching and let the patient make her own choice on whether or not she wants bc. If it is ...
lol. I'm a cna and I will be paged to 3 different rooms at once then a minute later they will redo the pages in a more hasty tone. And they keep paging every minute until myself or someone else answers the page. I don't know why they expect me to be ...

When I did my mental health clinical my mom and fiance asked me the same questions. "Omg, aren't you scared?"; I only had 1 day that I was a little bit frightened because a couple of the patients had outbursts and weren't cooperating. But then again,...

I bought a cheap one on allheart but the it sucks. It would always end up on the bell side and I would have to turn it for minutes before it would finally get on the diaphragm side. So for my final year I invested in a good littman that was on sale o...
