    Laurab14 replied to meg816's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Laurab14 posted a topic in General Nursing

  3. Ohio's Medication Aide Program

    Laurab14 replied to Laurab14's topic in General Nursing

  4. Ohio's Medication Aide Program

    Laurab14 replied to Laurab14's topic in General Nursing

    The big problem I see in LTC is NOBODY ever wants to be the first! Once somebody does it, others will follow suit. As a RN, I hate passing meds. I would love to have help doing this, so I could use...

  5. Ohio's Medication Aide Program

    Laurab14 replied to Laurab14's topic in General Nursing

    Great question, what I am looking for! In Ohio, they must already be STNA's prior to being accepted into the program. The program is at least 120 hours and does address side effects of medications....

  6. Gonna be teaching a CNA class...

    Laurab14 replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    What I always tell my new instructors is this "the students don't know any better, or what to expect" meaning they have no idea if your "perfect" lecture doesn't go as planned. You will make...

    Laurab14 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I originally wanted to post this under "articles" but it does not have enough words. I am putting it here because everyone in long term care will understand. Them What a life they have lived~...

  8. Title for completing the STNA course.

    Laurab14 replied to CMA/CPT's topic in General Nursing

    Officially you are considered a test-ready nursing assistant. The 4 month rule only applies if you are working in a Nursing home. Otherwise, it is good for two years. This should have all been...

    Laurab14 replied to protrend's topic in General Nursing

  11. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    Laurab14 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    3-I do feel there should be a pt advocate, someone separated from the medical profession and staff, someone that can intercede on behalf of the Pt when the pt needs it. What is so wrong with that,...

    Laurab14 replied to klone's topic in General Students

    I have been a RN for 17 years and my former school now has a similar grading scale. I teach there part time. I am quite honest with my students- if I had to go to school with that tough of a grading...

  13. Patient modesty concerns pertaining to surgery

    Laurab14 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    First of all, to suggest that someone "like me" who would like assurance that I am not being made fun of during surgery is needing counseling certainly is uncalled for. I was simply trying to offer a...

    Laurab14 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room

    Reading these additonal posts- here are two solutions that I would be happy with (as a patient). 1. A same gender advocate/ liason, perhaps a social worker. Really someone that would fight to make...

    Laurab14 replied to creinkent's topic in Operating Room
