I did not read through all the posts, so please forgive if I have repeated what someone has already said. I have seen on tests stuff we never go over in class, but I have learned to read the entire...

:yes: Thank you for the information. I will pass this onto my friend who is in her RN program, she was going to ask the same question. We are here in NY, maybe this is why there was no information.

You can never allow your CNA'S or techs to see you sweat, don't ever feel you are less than a nurse, because you are having issues with your Aides. What I found has worked for me is to go in with the...

Interesting! I have seen some of these stories on Deadly Women, Snapped, and other shows. It is amazing to me why people do things.

I am going to admit, I am not in my core nursing courses. BUT, I did go to LPN school and for the first half of the year, we did a lot of direct care. I don't think you have a bad attitude, nursing...
