    Dansko shoes

    I'm glad that they work for some of you all. I have a pair and they are no doubt the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever had.

    CNA training: Some questionable behavior

    Unbelievable!! And so, so sad for those poor residents. I would turn them in to the State BON so fast that it would make their heads spin

    Hand and fingernail care

    We all wash our hands about a billion times a day and its terrible on our skin.... What do you use to keep your hands soft and pretty? What about hardners and other products for your fingernails and cuticles? Share what your favorite products are.

    LPN = Life's Perfect Nurses

    I totally agree with you. LPNs give the most direct Pt care, isn't that what nursing is all about anyway. Don't get me wrong I think RN are great and hope to become one, especially since in Virginia the scope of practice for a LPN is 99% the same a...

    Don't get me wrong. The nurses on my floor are great. They help when they can and everyone really does work together as a team. They are glad to have us there and they make sure that we know that. The problem is the work load, its just to much to hav...
