   JaredCNA replied to JaredCNA's topic in General Nursing

   For my own reference information, can you find this policy online for me? I'm totally not comfortable with doing it, as I said earlier. But if need be, and it is acceptable in the eyes of both the BON...

   JaredCNA replied to JaredCNA's topic in General Nursing

   Pagandeva, I understand what you are saying. I was confused because I know that the nurse who delegates a task or asks a CNA to assist with a task is held ultimately responsible for the outcome and...

3. Would you agree that it is okay for a CNA and an RN to do the daily narc count?

   JaredCNA posted a topic in General Nursing

   It has always been my understanding that narc counts are done by two RN's or an RN and an LVN in the hospital setting. Of course, this may be only my understanding because I've never seen it done...

6. Funny things that pts say

   JaredCNA replied to jRN4now's topic in Nursing Humor

   Last night I moved a very combative (and very confused) pt up in bed. He apparently thought we jerked him up in bed really hard, and he got in my face and told me that next time he would shake a salt...

   JaredCNA replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm assuming this was directed toward me, because the two posts above your post don't talk about grades. I'm not sure what you are trying to say, so I'll just leave it alone. If I feel compelled to...

8. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

   JaredCNA replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

   No, no one saw him go in there. He didn't have a friend working on the floor. It's still confusing to me. The only thing I could think is that someone was trying to start an IV on him and left the...

   Oh, I'm reluctant to share this one, but... Never prostitute yourself out to homeless folks, and definitely don't let them stick their member in your colostomy. No matter how I try to forget that...

    Never let your s/o place a cucumber in your rectum during sex. I kid you not. We once got a post-op cucumber removal surgery at 3am. A 44-year-old male whose wife said she "did it to him all the time...

    JaredCNA replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    What does "RN, APR" mean? Is this homologous (sorry, I've got A&P on my brain :chuckle) with "APRN" or "APRN-BC"? Does anyone know if there are any additional certifications for
