We get our patient assignments the afternoon before clinical. We are expected to write at least two care plans for our patient (if we have more than one patient we only have to write a maximum of two care plans total for the day), write a paragraph ...
I was born and raised in KY and have lived in both Lexington and Louisville. I enjoyed both of them. However, I feel that Louisville is the more laidback town. Lexington has more service-related business. Louisville has much more manufacturing. ...

Hi, y'all. I'm from the Lake Cumberland area and started classes almost 2 weeks ago. We had our first test this past Thursday and will get the results on Monday. I check out allnurses almost every day, but usually only post in the current events or ...

My Dad and his brothers and sisters. They were born extremely poor in eastern Kentucky during the 1910s and 1920s. They didn't learn to ride a bike because they couldn't afford one. A great Christmas present was a real orange. Their parents made t...
Also, you need to check with the call center. I worked for one where we were not allowed to do anything between phone calls except read the catalogs so we would know our merchandise better. No matter if you were waiting 1 minute or 5 minutes betwee...

I just finished a nurse aide class that is a prerequisite for nursing school this fall. The worst part was the bed-making. Vital signs? No problem. Complete bed bath? A breeze. Catheter care? Easy. Mitered corners? Total disaster. I practic...
