I had been a medication aid in Washingtom state, have been for 3 years. I currently give narcs, routine meds, i do treatments i hve been delegated for, i to O2 treatments. i understand the facilities wanting med aides instead of LPN cus of the pay. i'm now a LPN at an assisted living facility so i also now have to look out for those med aides taking over.

i work 1930-0730 on sat and sun and then 2330-0730 on m & t. i understand the staying awake issue. i drink coffe and when i feel i'm about to fall asleep or even start yawning i walk around and do rounds even if rounds arent sceduled. i work in a assisted living facility and ther is literally nothing to do. i bring in movies to watch, i bring in crafts and books to keep my awake.

hello all. i'm kindof new here. i'm a nursing student and currently a cna-med-tech at an assisted living faculty. i have been a cna for a year and a med-tech for 4 months. i have a small question for everyone...how do you keep your distance from residents/patients? what i mean is not having favorites? i just had a resident die yesterday and over the 3 months she was at my faculty we got real close and now i'm hurting, wanting to cry all the time but i know she is at peace. i'm grieving all by my self here at home and trying my darnest not to cry but it's hard...i know i sound like a baby but... moosenurse aka angel

i'm a nursing student. i work in an assisted living faculty as a med-tech (cna that hands out meds). i had a resident die last night and it's effecting me hard. i know we aren't supposed to have favorites but it's a little hard. my question is how have you dealt with this? can you give any pointers?
