4. I hate my new CNA job

   GingerRN17 replied to Alexandra_C23's topic in CNA/MA

   That doesnt sound understaffed at all to me. I can have 14-16 patients by myself at nights on my unit...and they only staff one CNA at night...so its you when you are there! The first few months at any new job are HARD. It takes time to know what you...

13. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    GingerRN17 replied to HappyWife77's topic in COVID

    I just saw that. At least we know how to contain it, and how to keep it from spreading and the CDC was ready for this. Could have been a lot worse.
