AMA-against medical advise

Ok, so my cpr expires the end of June so I need to re-new. only one class available in my area before then and I have plans already during the time it is offered. So I was checking online classes, stumbled across 'Pro-CPR', did it and passed the te...

any guys I've worked with I've mostly seen in darker colors, navy, burgandy, black but have also seen white and ceil blue. but like elkpark said anything you are comfortable in and is acceptable with the dress code

i'll ask month, year or if there is a holiday coming up or just passed i'll ask about that

My Hubby is a general manager of a gas station/convenience store. When we met I was a cna and he was a pizza delivery man.

none, stop studying! take a warm shower have a bowl of popcorn and watch a movie! get a good nights sleep and eat a healthy breakfast in the morning! It will be fine take a deep breath and know you have prepared yourself for this test!

If you didn't know the bed was wet how did you know to cover it with towels? And why waste your time doing that and not just change it, I wouldn't like to lay on a urine puddle covered with towels!

CONGRATS!!!! It'll be a challenge but you'll be great!

Sounds like you have a good plan! It will take some getting use to but you can do it! Nice that you hubby goes to work a bit later that will help! Good luck hope you get the job!

I did it for 4+ years (as a CNA) from the time my kids were infants til my daughter started school! It isn't easy but with good supportive hubby you can do it! My hubby kept the kids up late til after I'd already gone to work. When I got home in t...

shut up and stop whining!

i'm so sorry for you loss! my thoughts and prayers are with you, your unit and her family!

no one else finds this dangerous? is this used in other parts of the country but not in the midwest?

You bet I would!!! Today!!! But it would have to be a job without all the drama and backstabbing, and without bullies! Wish they paid walmart greeters better, cuz i'd do that in a heartbeat!

Nope we don't count it!

i always chart 'resting quietly on bed'

Yup, I would but I would have gone back to school much sooner! Was a CNA for 17 yrs, LPN for 1 yr and now an RN for 2 yrs. Been working LTC but would like to get in to ER or ICU or hospice. Only other things I would change would be the families! ...

20:1 is great I do overnights in LTC and am 50:1 days and pm's are 25:1

what a great sense of humor!

UHM, no cna's can't even touch the machine to silence the alarm at my facility complete hands off for cna's. Before this new policy too many times cna's would shut off the machine when transfering, bathing or alarming and not restart the machine or ...

It is different then our company. They WANT more RN's on the floor, they are actually 'encouraging' our LPN's to go back to school to get their RN. I just changed to NOC shift because they wanted an RN in the building at noc. But, being the RN in ...

I live 1 yes 1 mile from work! I love it, I work over nights and am home in bed before most of my co-workers are even out of town! I would have it any other way! Yes, I could make more money driving just 15 miles but my time and wear and tear on m...
