Did anyone else get hit with what remains of Tropical Storm Erin? My backyard (which was just starting to dry out, I might add) is now a lagoon. Most of the roads are blocked off because of flooding....
Good for you for going after the help you need. I'm not very familiar with bipolar disorder, but one of my family members has many of the signs and symptoms that you described in your post and refuses...
I think I remember you, ladycool, if I'm not mistaken. :) Did you say in one of your other posts about TABE that you were going to get the TABE workbooks? If you haven't already, get them and work on...
Kind of both. The proctor, well, I'm not sure. It could be her and it could be the state laws and/or the testing company. There was no preparation for the exam. When we had lab time, my...
Thanks, pagan and Fun. I found out that the classmates of mine that have taken the test, failed it as well. Not sure what for and under what circumstances, though. I'll retest again in the next week...
I'm so sorry about your father, Dreamy. My mother died from cancer almost one year ago. Taking care of her is actually what motivated me to go into the nursing field in the first place. My mom and...

Anyone care to calm my fears? I'm starting to get extremely nervous about taking my skills test. I even contemplated canceling it today (the last chance to get a fee refund) but I ended up sticking...
That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure! Should I leave the side rails up or down? Personally, I would consider leaving them up (something for the patient to steady themselves with when on...
I do Ashtanga yoga. Okay, I did do Ashtanga yoga. It's been awhile (one year at least) but I plan on getting back to it soon. I need something to calm me down!
Hi there.
I've just finished the first week of my CNA class and found conflicting information in our book and the videos we watch.
Here's a passage from my textbook
That's me! You've described me perfectly. I also hope I don't get bedpan. We never practiced it and I can't seem to remember to place the disposable protector under the person when I practice at...
Postmortem care is usually considered part of the job for a CNA. However, I think it would depend on the individual facility's policies and possibly state laws. Most likely, two people (one LPN and...
