When ill ones die that I have been caring for I think, thank god. And I am not religious. I just like the idea of them being relieved of their suffering. If anyone is used to this work, you understand the decline is not fun for them and when they fin...

I took my CNA class through Red Cross and while I admit it is pricey, it is COMPLETELY worth it. Red Cross is prestigious by all counts and only wants to be seen as such and they honestly offer only the best. They will refund and drop out people who ...

Good questions! For a brief change on someone with a broken leg I'd support their broken leg side and let them use their strong side for support, now if they are total care I'd still do the same thing because I'd want to protect the broken leg. I'd c...

I have had a resident like this... I learned that asking doesn't work. You just have to tell them and hold their hand and say CMON we are gonna go get changed now. They need the assertive direction. I don't believe in GIVING UP ever, there is always...
