  1. should I disclose this to the California BON?

    I would just disclose it. Chances are that they will send you a letter asking why you were fingerprinted, and you will have to tell them anyway. As it was expunged, it is still up to the discretion of the board whether or not they will use it as a fa...
  2. What do you say to depressed/anxious patients?

    First, I want to say that you are doing a great thing. You are there for these patients, and that is wonderful. You're doing pretty good without any advice. I work in a mental health treatment facility, so I deal with people who are anxious and suici...

  8. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    Just wondering- And I know each and every one of you has heard it at least once: Does anyone else find the phrase "nurses eat their young" appalling? What i think is even more appalling is when a seasoned nurse says it with glee, then recounts a stor...
  9. Strangest thing you've heard a co-worker or patient say?

    My first CNA job was in a dementia unit at a LTC facility. For some reason, two of the female residents thought that I was a boy. I am fairly tall, (5'11) and pretty stout. One day, one of my residents looked up at me and says, "Did you ask your momm...
