  5. Lately this has been happening more frequently at our company and we all wonder what we can do about it. They're asking to put "reminders" not to steal other people's food and/or office supplies. How can a "reminder" help this situation? The indiv...
  6. Lost my first patient today.

  13. I was 30 years old when I first applied for the RN program, but quit after the first semester. I decided to try one more time at age 33 and never looked back.
  14. I'm still not sure about your plan. If I were the employer and see your resume, I'd still want to know where you did your CNA studies. Just my . As far as the youtube videos, I wouldn't rely on them since some of them are not legit or are evidence b...
  15. LPN Student Freakout!

    As a nurse, there are more things to worry about than just a back injury. We are at risk for Hepatitis, HIV, TB, MRSA, violence, etc...The fact that you are becoming a hypochondriac is not good. Heck, you are more likely to injure your back at home...
