another software title to look at on skyscape is Nurses Quick Check Diseases...make sure it is the one with 450~ item (another has less), great for school & after. Has patho/assessment/nursing care plan stuff and more... I am still in school and ...

I agree that you should do a search on previous threads... until then here are some quick facts: Operating system: Palm has more free stuff PPC looks more like windows if that is what you are used to Actual models: I recommend that if there is someo...

I know this is a late reply to your post... I work as a CNA in the ICU at Good Sam, also in the RN program and plan to continue as a RN in the ICU there, love the place. Good people, fair mngmt and I like it.... PIMC....well all I know is we get lots...

Hello & Howdy All, I have repeatly said how glad I am that I became a CNA this summer before starting my RN program, not only have I gained a ton of experience and had a chance to become familiar with equipment, termanology and the environm...

2 responses.... 1) if you are truely called then remember that God doesn't give you anything you can't handle... 2) Keep in mind that these are normal things and focus on the person not on the action....beside remember how you feel when you vomit, BM...

I was in law enforcement before becoming a CNA (now in a RN program)....believe me when I say it has been much easier dealing with the post-mortem care in an ICU than on the street.... Wellfare checks on seniors that hadn't been seen in church "for a...

I absolutely compend each and everyone of you who refused such inane request. I think it needs to go a step futher and explain (I do) to the person making the request WHY it is against your personal standards and hurts the industry. Granted I am a CN...

I went for my CNA training this summer and there are a couple of points to be made.... 1) you can be a nurses aide at many places w/p formal training or with just their inhouse training... 2) a CNA is certified by the state (at least here in Az) and ...

Hello & Good Day All, I am a CNA on a ICU and in school to become a RN. Myself and a few of the RN's & Doc's are all PDA users (mainly Palm's). I am looking for a common program for the RN's at least to help with both Report and Recordi...

I tried the http://www.handbase.com link and it worked for me... also try http://www.ddhsoftware.com as they are the creator of handbase. If that doesn't work then palmgear.com , or many of the other sites can get you the program as it is popular an...

This is exactly the route I am taking... Took CNA training this summer, talked an AD into letting me into the ICU as a new CNA (I promised to go quitely if everyone didn't think I was doing a good job after 2 weeks). And I start RN school this March....

On the general subject of PDAs in healthcare I am one of those people who doens't understand why everyone isn't using one :) If you have something other than a Palm C or T there is a great program by http://www.kathywhite.com that will do a ton of st...

We are talking with risk mgnmt on HIPPA and so far if we add a sec feature (like password that auto sets qd) then seems ok... Here is a neat trick for palm users.. When using notepad to scribble a quick note just tap that little space above the scrol...

I agree completely that using my Palm in this manner may be more trouble than it is worth... We all understand the value of looking up drugs, nursing diag., reference material, and things like that but I am trying to get full value out of the tech......

Well it is kind of a tweaked thing where I took someone esles program and am working it over :) First go to http://www.handbase.com and download the trial version you need (I use handbase plus for Palm OS) and then go to the gallery of free software ...

I am going into nursing school for the following reasons, all fairly equal: 1) schedule - 3x12hrs w/ 4 days off at night (I love working nights) plus overtime anytime I want extra toys 2) money, ICU +spanish +people skills I can start near $30hr or m...

A great manager: leads by example will help in a pinch will make the same sacrifices as requested of staff is positive and doesn't take things personally REALLY wants to know how things are vs. How's it going? Has more than the min annual sit down on...

Rudeness is one of those grey areas where preception is dominant. The most important point is that actions which are UNPROFESSIONAL should never be tolerated and should be addressed immediately, at the time, in front of whomever and to the degree nec...

Well since I have worked in a number of male dominated fields (law enforcement, tobacconist, pro poker player) I can say that it is interesting being in the minority genderwise. Luckly I have started as a Nurse Assistant while in school and I am usin...

Well I have been a die hard PDA user for years and as a new nursing student I am trying hard to look for good programs. Here are some thoughts: Think about what you really want to use it for, pt. tracking, reminders, notes, reference, planning, conta...

Well I am new to this field so forgive any misunderstanding... but to hear that there are a gazillion different orgs some RN some LPN some whatever....well that is nutz! Every other field I have worked in from law enforcement, to tobacconist had some...
