   Purple_Clover replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

6. Exceptions to the Right to Refuse

   Purple_Clover replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   That helps a lot! I've emailed my BON as well to see what specifics they can give me too. I have CNAs who are cleaning a resident who is clearly refusing and combative and I will have nothing to...

   Purple_Clover posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Can someone provide me a reputable and authoritative source to exceptions to the Right to refuse treatment or care? Am I understanding correctly that for use to force care (especially basic...

13. Low Stress Specialties

    Purple_Clover replied to Hayleyjc26's topic in General Specialties

    Come to the dark side: long term care. It's the ***** wild, wild west of nursing and if you know what you're doing it can be very easy most days. I also only work 4 8's (32 hours) a week and it is...

15. Hopefully taking CNA classes soon, tips/tricks?

    Purple_Clover replied to transparentChaos's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Master the one-turn-change. It will save you precious time and effort. Unless someone has had a major blowout, I can change someone by only turning them once. Has a lot to do with positioning the...
