Accreditation Confusion
The state of CA-BON approved your school to operate LA College of Nursing and Allied Health Read what's an ACEN. Read more about accreditation. Take time to read this, please. Your NSG school is ACEN accredited!

Accreditation Confusion
You can always look up the BON of CA. I checked your school and its accreditation. It's not a problem. It's ACEN accredited. If you're looking specifically for CCNE accreditation then don't go to school with ACEN.

Short Staffed: An Epidemic
One time, I was upset that I resulted telling a person, "We don't have a vending machine where I can get a nurse urgently. I don't like it that you aren't getting the best care. I have to spread my time. I am sorry that you're in this mess." We were short staff in nurses and CNAs. At the end of my shift, the patient apologized to me for being impatient. I reiterated that she didn't have any fault.

Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?
It was a long battle, but I came out alright. I do avoid girls who are mean. I don't want another catfight.

Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?
What I know at an early age, some people are sadistic. Got some girls made fun of me for being motherless who continued to bully me in high school. They became physical with me. It was a secluded area where they waited for me. We had catfights.

If a 50 year old can pass NCLEX, so can you...HERE IS WHAT I DID.
As a CNA, it has been a problem that I take time to shower/bath the residents or patients. Maybe I have a slight OCD, but there's no indication of it except I ensure a resident or patient is squeaky clean. I do chart the V/S and report to a nurse when something needed to be done stat. It's almost impossible to chart for 25-35 residents each day and perform a quality of care. I don't understand why the charting is complicated or wasting time. For example, the contracted resident/pt, who is completely unable to move without an assist, still has to go through "How pt walk in the unit?" "How does the pt transfer from/to bed or wheelchair?" They have to change some questions that are irrelevant to the person. That's why there's called logic. Some of the platforms are stupid. That makes me hate to think. I've been making a list of things that need to improve in the EHR that the CNAs are utilizing. I'll see how many people want to murder me.
