  1. Concussion tx

    I figured this was the best place to ask the question. I'm in nursing school and for one of my classes, we have to make up a scenario for our fellow classmates to read and solve, like a case study. I...
  2. Chicago Nursing Schools

    I have been thinking about making a change, possibly moving to Chicago (I live in Iowa right now). I'm a CNA and have only started some of the pre-reqs for the nursing programs here. Are there any...
  3. I'm trying to get a hospital position as a CNA, so I'm in the same boat to some extent... But right now I'm volunteering there, talking to all of my nursing professors and looking for connections,...
  4. Male pericare

    I agree, I think male pericare is so much easier. And I'm a female! It's only because, really, who uses eight washcloths to wipe after they use the bathroom? So this whole lengthy procedure involving...
  5. I want to start practicing VS more often. I work in a LTCF where CNAs don't do VS, but I want to be prepared for nursing school next semester and I'm also applying for hospital CNA positions and I've...
  6. pt enjoys pericare too much...

    I didn't read all the responses, so I may be repeating, but this can't go on. What if the resident could call sexual harassment on your sister, which seems like she'd have a case? I'll just say it --...
  7. What a life...

    It seems weird that you can't mandate organ donation in your will, as if it's just another property you're leaving behind, hmm. I know that when I die, anyone can have any part of my body they wish. I...
  8. What do CNAs do?

    In an LTCF? Here's the basic rundown of my day as a CNA in a LTCF. 6:30-8:00 - Arrive, dress, check & change, and get-ups for every resident. Make sure they are groomed properly, have their...
  9. Med-Surg CNAs

    Hello all, I've got some questions today. I'm a CNA and nursing student, and my goal is to eventually be a L&D nurse. I've been working for about five months in LTC, and I only worked there so I...
  10. immature but true

    My absolute, hands-down worst fear upon starting in a LTCF was skin tears. I thought moving any resident was going to result in a big ol' foot-long tear down their limbs. Because of this I moved so...
  11. CNA question....?

    I love working in my LTCF, and I've never worked in an ALF. But from what I hear, an ALF is so much easier. The problem with my LTCF is the level of care needed by all of the residents, and how much...
  12. Good Activity Staff

    I love our activity staff. They always have fun things for the residents. We have a really good director who must have been here for a while, because she just knows every resident so well. She knows...
  13. What a life...

    After being a LTC CNA for only four months, I am officially sickened by people who support this! We had a new admission Friday evening. I'll call him Herbie. Herbie is confused. He has a foley,...
  14. Good site for L&D Info

    Thanks for the sites, guys.
  15. Good site for L&D Info

    I've posted about looking for a job as a CNA in the L&D unit nearby, and hopefully being a RN there, too someday. Does anyone have any good sites on hand that have a lot of info (conditions,...
