I can understand if they are in the actual bathroom. I was commenting on residents who are incontinent. You wouldn't want to walk someone to their bed with feces dropping off of their bottom. I agree with that. However if the resident is incontinen...

I think changing a brief and doing peri care while the resident is standing is inappropriate. I have seen two cnas with a res's arm draped around the shoulders while one wipes...... It's sad. They need their dignity, most of of them have lost so much...

I am starting a CNA job soon for a nursing home (they are paying for my certification), and I am VERY nervous. When I walked into the place I was SO scared (just to have my interview.) I know that these are just people like everyone else,and I DO wan...

Welcome! I start CNA classes in Nov, then off to work (hopefully I'll pass).....so we will be almost learning together :)

I just re-read my last post and want to say that I didn't mean it to sound rude, I guess it's just the way it came out.

Well, I am 25 so I don't really consider myself "young" lol I feel like I am around 90 some days. I hope you aren't assuming that I am going to be unprofessional because I am nervous (or young). From what I am reading, there are a lot of people who ...

Hi all. I am a PRE- nursing student with *another question* :) Did any of you nurses have weak stomachs? I didn't really have one before I had my 2 little girls. I could watch/see/smell anything (except look at spiders, I have arachnophobia) and not...

wow lol you guys get to deal with some pretty gross stuff! I know its not something I should be worrying about, it just makes me feel a little better to know that SOME things get easier to handle

Exactly how does the clinical process work? Does your school pick the hospital and the area that you work in? (I'm a pre-nursing student)...just curious.... :)

I am currently taking all my pre-reqs and have English Comp I which is of course required. However, my english teacher is a JERK! Our first day, he started talking about his ex-wife and "women" in general. He said that he usually gives the girls a ha...

Hi all. I am a mere pre-nursing student...lol but thought I would slip in and ask some of you experienced nurses a question. What is a doctor/nurse relationship like? I have a sister who works in the hospital ER and she says the doctors yell at the ...

I'm not sure what to do yet because I don't think dropping the class at this point is an option.And you are SO right about him. It was like he was warning us not to go to the dean. Now I know why he wont allow tape recorders in the class.

Actually he said it in front of the whole class. He also went into a rip about how he has only been in the boss' office once for a complaint from a male student (who he said is a mommas boy). He then said he can't count how many times he has been in ...

I agree. I had his class today and he explained his grading system. if you look like an A student then he does everything he can to help you keep your A. If you look like a B student you will be keeping your B. If you look like a failing student you ...

wow thanks for all the replies! I think that I will be ok. For some reason I have always had this schtick in my head that the doctor fires the nurse for "talking back" lol. Silly, I know.

What exactly comes on the tests you need to take before entrance to the nursing program? Will we need to know Chem and college algebra? *getting freaked a bit* Im still taking pre-reqs so Its next year before I can apply but just checking anyway :)

ok I know the basics of algerbra *phew* and by the time I apply I will have had at least 1 chem course (scary)..... Thanks :)

No I'm not sure. I think the pamphlet says there is an entrance test but doesn't specify which one. One of my girlfriends just got accepted there though so I guess I could ask her. Shes just hard to catch lol

You are right, stressing is not going to do me any good, thats for sure. It just infuriates me that he can have an affect on my entrance to the program. I know I'm not perfect, there are courses I have trouble with, but English has never been one of ...

WAY TO GO! wish me luck on this horrible humanities test....blech :)

I am taking Survey of British Literature. I thought this course would be a piece of cake but as it turns out, is NOT. lol my luck.I thought I would ace this and have trouble in math. Im doing good in math and tomorrow is our 1st british lit quiz so w...
