   This is a big deal and a contributing factor in a lot of cases like this. If I walk out of a patient's room and ask an aide to toilet that patient, get them fresh water, get a set of vitals, or...

   brillohead replied to malenurseNTX2019's topic in General Students

   Dealing with quadras

   brillohead replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   NEVER touch a resident's money, and be careful about doing these little "favors" for them. You could end up losing your job and your certification from that. Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries....

   Dealing with quadras

   brillohead replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   Actually, after the first TB injection, you have to get it rechecked within 48-72 hours.... after that, it's useless. But back to your original problem, I hope my comments help. It's really all...

   Little boy reading

   brillohead replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Glad to see I'm not the only person who raised a kid to behave in public. Who wants to spend time with a brat??? My son got many compliments (and even some free desserts!) in restaurants, simply...

   Dealing with quadras

   brillohead replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   This is something you have to take up with your supervisor. You're not going to lose your CNA license because you left a resident who wants someone to scratch his nose, but you have to find out what...

    Anyone Else have to Sub in classrooms??

    brillohead replied to rnknsn's topic in School

    I'd be interested in hearing how much they pay a substitute teacher for a day of work, and if they're going to cut you a check for that amount for the two days you've already worked as a sub.

    I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    brillohead replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    The initial encounter was on him and has already been handled. The OP has her own issues about being around the dude, and that's on her to fix. If she wants him to just never be near her or talk to...

    La la la la... I can't hear you

    brillohead replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    I don't see the big problem with OTC meds and older kids. I used to self-carry OTC meds back in high school (in the 80s) all the time. I was driving a car, working a job, and I paid for them at the...

    Notarization Question

    brillohead replied to Amethya's topic in School

    If she has a bank account (or credit union account), most financial institutions will notarize paperwork for free (provided it's not 100 pages or something -- a single sheet of paper is fine). I...
