The same things you always get for school: binders, paper, note cards, pens, pencils, hi-lighters, etc...

Mine is July 23, 2010. First quarter finals next week.

Good luck!!! We start ours in December.

I was in a BSN program right after high school, did some pre-reqs but got burned out with work and school. After taking a break I just started LPN school with plans of further education.

I am. I was doing pre-reqs for BSN but took a break, stress from paying for it all myself. Now I'm in LPN school planning on doing LPN to RN and hopefully to BSN

I'm working but only my weekends, so just 4 days a month. I could not work through the week since I have school M-F 8:30a-3:00p.

I second this! Most of my scrubs are from here, there are lots of tops for $6.99 and up. I just bought $100 worth of stuff the other day.

At my facility our residents get showers 2x a week, all the residents are divided up amongst all three shifts.

I have been a STNA for almost 5 years and have never done post mortem care. I have taken care of the dying who did pass the shift after me and I have helped with others but have not done it myself.

Sorry that no one has called you. When I applied at my work I just kept calling every week to see if there was an opening yet. It took me a month or two but I didn't apply to anywhere else. I hope you get into somewhere soon!

Happy STNA/CNA Week. Today at my work they threw us a luncheon and gave us all a gift.

My feet normally hurt at the end of every shift and my back hurts a lot too, but I think I did something to it when I first started my job but I was young and didn't report anything.

I'm the first born and my father does drink.

I work in a LTCF near Medina and I started out at 10.25 w/ .25 shift differential. That was 3 yrs ago, now I believe our starting wage for STNAs is 11.35, Not sure if thats with the shift differential or not.

A few weeks ago State was in. Didn't really bother me, I've been there 3 yrs now and have never been stopped and asked questions by the inspectors. Well back to the reason of this post, we got a perfect score! We've always done good, just a few minor things but its been a few years since we had a perfect score. Just wanted to post abut it.

When using a hoyer and you dont have the pad that goes from head to thigh, just the one that wraps around the legs and it looks like the resident is going to fall through. I had to use one of those when I first started. Scarred me to death that the resident could fall out but I know that if used right it wouldn't but it still looks bad.

When I took mine, I took both tests in the same day, written and then skills. We got our results back a few days after. Sorry I cant be of more help

hand washing, ROM on lower extremities, passing ice water, ambulation, and I think bed change
