  4. Stay in LTC or accept new position?

    I think you should do what makes you happy. If working at a clinic is going to make you happy then you should go for it. But if you eventually want to work at a hospital, it might be best that you stay at the LTC. When you work at a clinic, you lose ...
  5. Frustrated...What would you do?

    My hospital is smoke free. The campus police writes people up if they smoke and turns it in for disciplinary actions and they are ALWAYS walking around campus. They even actually found hiding places that employees go to and put cameras in place. The ...
  12. Other than working in LTC, where else can a CNA work?

    Where I live, techs can work in surgery. They mainly just stock supplies, help transport patients, clean beds among other things. Do they help with surgery and watch the surgeries, no. But by working there, if you do a good job, you can work there as...
  13. Is CNA good experience for a future RN?
