You don't need a BSN to teach a cna course. You can be an lpn or an rn to teach a cna course. I bet you would be an awesome CNA instructor. Go for it.

Here is an example of my Medicare charting on 3-11 shift and 11-7 shift 7/26/05 2200 vs 120/80, 98.6, 70, 20. Resting quietly @ this time. Consumed 100% of meal and 480 cc of fluids per self. No c/o pain or discomfort voiced. No c/o dizziness, ...

I am a lefty also. I recall a time in LPN school when we were practicing putting on gloves using sterile technique and one of the snooty girls in my class tried to point out to me that i was putting the gloves on wrong because i was starting with my...

I haven't found an RN job yet. I had three interviews but no call back as of yet. I am so ready to start my RN career. I am just patiently waiting on someone to offer me a job

that is too funny. i wish i could have used that excuse when my boss came to my front door a few days ago asking me would i work the 11-7 shift for her

In southern Mississippi, a new grad's starting salary is $17/hr plus $2-3 shift diff for evenings or nights. An LPN working in LTC makes about that much. I work with one that makes over $20/hr. Where in Mississippi do you live? Maybe I need to mo...

I live in Southern Mississippi

There are quite a few hospitals in Mobile. The three that I can think of off the top of my head are Mobile Infirmary, Providence Hospital and University of South Alabama Medical Center. They offer great benefits. I am thinking about crossing the A...

why spend thousands of dollars for a CNA course when you can go to a nursing home and get certified there? It made plenty of sense to me when my friend discouraged me from going to school to become a CNA. I went to the nursing home and enrolled in ...

OOOOH i was just about to ask you did you go to MGCCC-JCC before i looked at your profile. I went through both programs and i must say the the LPN lab was much better than the ADN lab

Sometimes I wonder am I getting paid straight time for overtime work. For example, I worked a total of 105 hours and my hours were broken down like this: 96 hours regular, 9 hours overtime. This is an example of how we get paid overtime at my wor...

My top 5 meds are.................(drum roll please) 1. Lortab 2. Xanax 3. Senokot/colace 4. Robitussin 5. Extra Strength Tylenol

Has anyone heard about the relationship between a woman's orgasm and the sex of a baby? I heard that if a woman orgasms at the same time the man does, the child will be a boy. If the woman does not have an orgasm, the child will be a girl. I must a...

I live in Mississippi. My wages are $15.64 an hour, including a $1.00 shift differential. The cost of living here is kind of low, so I am able to make a decent living. Go to http://www.salary.com and research the wages for an lpn in your hometown

Well, where I work at, the CNAs usually gripe about the nurses' lack of work and the better pay the nurses receive. Most of the ones that are jealous would say "I don't know how so and so became an LPN." Or they would point out that we get paid too...

Bravo, Bravo I applaud you. This thread is so true

I recalled last year we received some concoction that was supposed to be Strawberry Shortcake. That was it. At least the CNAs got a party for National Nursing Home week. It lets ya know how special the nurses are at my workplace

My final exam was 4/6/04, start of preceptorship was on my birthday, 4/7; I did not have to start until today. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day down, 6 more to go. May 8th, pinning ceremony. May 9, hangover :balloons: :rotfl: Nah just joking...

I heard a joke similar to this one except there was an old man who wanted to get into heaven. He was told by St Peter that he had to spend a day in hell. Wehn he went to hell, he found himself in a nursing home. The scenery was beautiful, the floo...
