  1. Writing a research paper on nursing specialties...

    CNAinNeb replied to jmontgomery4476's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't sound like research, that sounds like something you would write for a seminar class. A research paper is something verifiable and objective. I would select a research topic that doesn't...

  2. MRSA/Urine

    CNAinNeb replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar experience in LTC, but I am not at liberty to comment on the correctness of the practice, as I am only a CNA. Our resident had MRSA in her urine. The only precautions were "good...

    CNAinNeb replied to ingui08's topic in General Nursing

    CNAinNeb replied to emily84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I symathize with what you are saying, but I hear nurses on my unit make this same comment all the time. They love the profession, but hate the politics. There is never enough time, enough resources,...

  7. I keep getting written up!

    CNAinNeb posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My unit manager has recently been cracking down on our call light response time. I agree that this needs to be done. Some of us are getting lax. However, I believe this woman has gone off the deep...

  8. Should I take genetics?

    CNAinNeb posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    CNAinNeb replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That rumor has been going on for forever, and many "deadlines" have been rumored, but never came true. The nursing shortage is too great to turn away qualified graduate RN's. It's similar to the rumor...
