1. LPN not doing her job

   Gr4ceffa replied to AshRowley21's topic in CNA/MA

   Unfortunately, you will work with people who don't take their jobs as seriously as you take yours. Did she ever end up giving your patient his/hers medications? I would talk with her in private before reporting her.

2. Bad messed up

   Gr4ceffa replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Recovery

   pcbeachbum, I would think even with a lawyer, you won't get too far. You were caught stealing drugs which aren't yours, which is huge.

3. Career Change, is nursing for me?

   Gr4ceffa replied to MedBiz410's topic in General Students

   MedBiz410, It's possible to have a full time job and be in nursing school, you will legit have zero free time and go from work to school to study, it's possible, but would I do nursing school with a full time job? No thank you.

   Nurse_soon, It's difficult, everyone can agree on that, but the severity of he difficulty depends on you and how well you are able to keep up/do the work. Just make sure you put 110% into nursing school and learn how to study, study, and study a litt...

   Gr4ceffa replied to hiimanurse's topic in Criminal

   hiimanurse, Depends on the schooling policy, but they normally don't prefer "criminals", but acceptions could be made. If your lawyer informed you of an informal diversion, how is the misdemeanor showing up/how are they finding out?

   Gr4ceffa replied to Jaida's topic in CNA/MA

8. What do I do on my first day training as a CNA?

   Gr4ceffa replied to thelifeofamy's topic in CNA/MA

   thelifeofamy, Your job will not provide scrubs unless told so by your employer. I would show up in scrubs that you purchase yourself. A call to your employer never hurts.

9. 1 yr Peds experience - wanting to travel

   Gr4ceffa replied to kristyg123's topic in Travel

   kristyg123, It's pretty common actually, to leave with 1yr experience but it all depends on the recruiter and his/hers/the companies preference on experience. But if you feel as though you're all set, contact a recruiter in your area and get started!

    Gr4ceffa replied to nineteen19's topic in Government

    Nineteen19, I hope a moderator moves this into the Government / Military nursing forum to get you more responses. I believe the age requirement for the Air Force at least is 39 years old. I'm almost certain you will have to do your schooling on base,...

    sheila1818, Unfortunately, if anyone is accused of abuse, whether it be from rumors, your employer is required to take it serious, even if it did not happen. But, nobody is going to just randomly accuse someone of abuse for fun, could you have possib...

13. Working as a CNA in a hospital at 17

    Gr4ceffa replied to ivcc's topic in CNA/MA

    Depending on where you live, honestly. Not many hospitals hire CNA's with no experience. They usually require 2 years of experience to begin working as a PCT in a hospital. Try working at an LTC before working in a hospital!

14. My coworker was high and got away with it

    Gr4ceffa replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    What proof do you have that he was high other than "He was eating edibles on his snapchat" or "he texted his friend saying he was." It literally makes no sense. You're focusing too much on what Jon is doing outside of work which has nothing to do wit...
