Thanks, I just heard another nurse tell her story about how rough of a time she had with two full time jobs and three kids also doing gen ed's while doing nursing classes and she made it. I have no way to measure my learning so far in the real world...

Thank you all this information is very helpful

After recieving her last dose of medication she has lost consciousness and is unable to communicate. They give no information on non verbals like squirming around or grimacing.

this is a class project and gives no information other then her stated intentions by health care directive, but does that make it right.

That was an awesome story and just reinforces the love all good nurses have to give to their patients. When you get a lesson back out of it it is better then getting paid.

Hello, I have a slight problem with one of my residents at a ltc facility. This resident is very,very rude. He thinks guy aides or nurses are all gay. He will not allow cares done by male staff, This is okay we make exceptions for the lady residen...

This is a very embarrassing thing for men. I myself have the shirvling up problem, whent aroused it rebounds nicely but it still is always in the back of your mind.

No, the only on call CNA's we have are the ones they want to let go without actually firing. They really do not get called in. I'm in nursing school so i cannot wait to actually get started with my clinicals and start something more challenging. A...
