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.

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.

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...

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?

NurseRen Lawrence, LPN's who work in hospitals and private clinics are typically required to perform the following job duties: Planning and managing patient care according to each patient's needs. Interviewing patients and recording their medical his...

Jaida, Typical work day is preforming tasks that your patients cannot do themselves & make their ends meet. The work schedule is different, depending where you live and what facility you work for, contacting them is the best to get that question ...

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.

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!

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,...

SweetLola648, Yes, I've seen many CNA's bring in their own shampoo and/or body wash for the patients & haven't gotten introuble. Although, I don't see why you'd wan to bring and use your own shampoo or body wash..

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...

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!

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...

Before work.... Meaning that they'd be outside of work and on their own time...

TitanGal1996, Usually they will go into details about what shoe type to be looking for, so look into that to make sure you aren't spending money on a shoe that you cannot use on the job. I would think ANY shoe that is nonslip & is comfortable eno...

Exactly, why wouldn't someone such as an RN or CNA give up their seat for a client? Common courtesy.

Amiles92, Quit pulling the race card and saying you felt like you were back in your "slavery days". It really just sounds dumb. You're not always going to encounter nice patients or nice family members in the health field, it's a part of the job. Ki...

Congratulations!

Hello, everybody! This is just useless information to you all, but, I just wanted to let you all know, after a little bit of contacting my local college, I will be taking my CNA classes soon! Anything I should "practice"? Thank you all! (I'm in Wisco...

Futuresoldier11, No, I've heard of many hospitals giving out papers/tests for interviews.

Hilaryalas, A BSN is not the only form of a nurse. You can become a nurse with an ADN, LPN, LVN, ASN, etc, etc. Although a BSN is recommended and would be more helpful in job searching, but you do not need it.

Yeah, 60s is the ideal percentage. If you're weak in pharm, then keep studying it, make flash cards for things you're having trouble understanding and keep reading over them, I always read my flash cards out loud, helped me better. I'm sure there are...

best_fiction, Don't worry if you didn't pass, it's really not a big deal and you're not the first person who has failed a skill before, believe it or not. I know it sucks to fail it, but maybe try watching videos on YouTube about that specific skill...

I understand the stress. I would say if you're comfortable taking the test, go for it!
