  5. Nursing student CNAs passing meds in ALF

    noctanol replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Nursing

    Passing meds is not an art, its pills in a cup, rude as this may sound. EXpectina a nurse with a load of 80 plus patients to do the med pass would be close to impossible. Medications passed by CNA's,...

  9. NCSBN commercial

    noctanol replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    There are more and more scams and sadly some of them are now involving "nurses" who run so called "independent services" and usually cater to home health patients. This just alerts the public to check...

  10. NCSBN commercial

    noctanol replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

  11. HELP! Social question-over the line?

    noctanol replied to jlove1821's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes you will get in trouble, if you have a "sixth sense" feeling then you should steer away. Try and explain to the mom that if she has to stay with you then you cannot be her sons primary

    noctanol replied to Sarah010101's topic in General Nursing

    noctanol replied to Heidi W's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    noctanol replied to LorderrorproneRN's topic in Men in Nursing

  18. Does being called a male nurse annoy you?

    noctanol replied to freefalle's topic in Men in Nursing

    noctanol replied to girtenbt's topic in Men in Nursing

  24. A nurse that needs agnger management

    noctanol replied to BPayne16's topic in General Nursing

    it depends on what area of nursing she will be working. Nursing is diverse and you do not have to deal with pt's, healthcare team etc. If she is in an office she can get angry at the papers, throw...

  25. Nursing to the Deaf?

    noctanol replied to K3ndraR's topic in General Nursing
