I agree with the other posters, it's really not that black and white.

I was told that by the managers in surgery at my hospital that ER nurses usually make good scrub nurses in the OR. Have you wanted to get into surgery? That might be a good place to take your experience.

78%, i'm in an ADN program

I work on an inpatient rehab unit with primarily stroke patients. There is alot of lifting involved on this floor. and they do tell you to ask for help for lifting but honestly either the other cna's are busy with all of their patients or they just make you feel bad for always asking them and say things like "fine but this is the only time tonight" The injury i've seen most often on our floor is shoulder injuries, probably from pulling or something. I've hurt my back, which constantly is sore now. i've been seeing a chiropractor for pain relief. and i've hurt my wrists when a 300lb patient rolled back on them while i was rolling him.

The hospital i work at puts a patient on contact precautions and isolation for C-diff. Even if the patient is Asymptomatic they are still on isolation until discharge.

I did pre-reqs for a year and a half including the summer ( i worked fulltime). I start the program in Jan 2010 :) They based acceptance on the TEAS test.

I recently bought scrubs at cherokee4less, it was great getting free shipping and 20% off with the same coupon code.. and they shipped to my house in 3 days!!
