You wouldn't catch me downtown after dark for any amount of money unless I'm driving through straight to the parking garage to the hospital. And even then, I would be careful. Eden Park is really...
hmm... Even though I encouraged her to follow her dream, etc. I'm 41 years old so I'm certainly no spring chicken!! Those long hours get to me sometimes, which I said in my follow up post. I also...
As others have stated in their comments, the physical aspect of nursing and the work as a CNA is labor intensive. I know as a Nurse I can spend my whole 12 hour shift on my feet and on the go. Some...
Becoming a CNA is a fairly simple class to take. It shouldn't take more than a week. Most employers will pay for it, that will give you a taste of the field to even find out if you really want to be...
I just recently left HHC after 7 yrs. I wish you the very best, I'm sure you will love it, I know it had it's ups and downs, but doesn't everything? You will love the flexibility and the ability to...
Well to spell it out, a web site is up 24/7 and accessible all the time to all of us, So that's what I meant by EVERY HOUR EVERY DAY! Get it? It can also mean whatever the individual gets from...
I understand this premise, although I do think the nurse that told the nurse on duty did the right thing by bringing it to her attention. I wouldn't, however make a federal case out of it. Yeah, they...
another poster wrote this and i thought it was quite clever it would look great on a t-shirt or a tote. whoever you are, speak up and take credit for your idea! it said: allnurses.com...
I'm a nurse already. I'm an LPN and work in LTC on the weekends and go to school through the week. I have most of my pre-req's done. So I'm pretty happy about that. I love being a nurse and have...

I work in the Cincinnati area currently in LTC at the rate of $21.50 with the possibility of a rate increase in 90 days. I was working in Home Health at the rate of $22 for shift work and $35 for a...
Personally speaking, I don't think you're ever too old to learn anything. I'm 41 and back in school again. I've always wanted to get my RN so that's my goal. I have 6 kids so I know how life can get...
I knew from the time I was very, very young that I wanted to be a nurse. I can't tell you why, except I knew I wanted to take care of people. Maybe it was because my mother was very ill from the...
I know it's been said, but I love, love, love the CNA's I work with. They make my life easier and I try to make theirs easier by helping them when they need me and respecting them for the hard work...
I cannot imagine using 5 foleys for one procedure! I think she needs more practice. If the patient was female though, some have difficult anatomy to decipher. I would say get aquainted with where...
One of the mishaps we had in nursing school was during a med pass, not a good time for a big mistake, huh? Anyway, myself and two other students were on one cart for the med pass. We were to divide...
My husband's workplace did this about 15 yrs ago. No smoking anywhere on the premises not even during breaktime or lunch. If you're caught, you're fired; no second chances. They did offer every...
