  3. PostOp fall

    One Flew Over replied to chattychristine's topic in General Nursing

    Just take some time and relax tonight. Tomorrow or whenever you plan to visit next just ask the nurses for a little more information about what happened, and what they're doing to do to prevent a...

    Don't worry, nearly everyone I know who made it into this program didn't pass the test on the first try! It's tough! You'll make it, and we're going to be in class together, just wait and see. Sending...

  5. Mixing Rehab and LTC

    One Flew Over replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Again. My point was, that just because a nurse works on a long term floor does not mean they 'lack the skills' needed to take care of a rehab

  6. Mixing Rehab and LTC

    My mother is an LPN who has worked on a long term floor for 15 years. She has gotten, rehabbed and sent home many rehab patients. She has worked with the other nurses to heal a stage 4 ulcer that was...

  7. Subacute care?

    One Flew Over replied to One Flew Over's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did some of those this week. Also tried to tape a bag over hip staples, but it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped. Luckily it was ok for her to get them a little wet, just not soaked. So what's...

  8. Mixing Rehab and LTC

    One Flew Over replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If we have an empty bed on a long term unit, no prospects and there's a questionable rehab patient, they'll move them up to the empty bed. That way, if they (or the family) ultimately decide to go...

    Congratulations!! Same here! It was a little frightening I must say but the math section wasn't as bad as I thought. The essay was nice because the topic was broad enough to get a little creative. I...

  14. Subacute care?

    One Flew Over posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work as a CNA in LTC. I'll be switching my floor to work on the subacute unit in my facility very soon. I was wondering if any body had any tips or tricks to budget my time, keeping up with the...

  18. Speed and Quality Care

    One Flew Over replied to turtle rain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's also good advice If I have an extra minute while waiting for trucks etc where I can't really squeeze anything substantial in, I like to pass towels to my after breakfast get-ups/showers and...

    One Flew Over replied to Amy2005's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Reminds me of one lady I took care of who was severely impaired. She was a very pleasant woman, but you could tell when you tried to have a conversation with her that it wasn't all computing. She...

    I'm working on the application now, sooo excited!!! =D Is December early enough to take the test you think? There is one in November but it's less than a month away and I don't want to push it. Is the...

    One Flew Over posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently a CNA, and have been for about 4 years now. I love my job! I work in LTC at a very nice facility. I feel like I'm really making a difference and making my residents as comfortable as...
