Our hospital doesn't, but a couple of nursing homes I've worked at do.

As far as I know they can. (at least where i have worked)

Yes. I've had 2 csections - one after 12 hours of hard labor with a stuck baby, and 1 elective. I absolutely loved the second. (the only bad thing during the first was the pain i was in before the section) It was a wonderful birth experience (be...

Southern Ohio 8.00 an hour (starting wage) for home care.

A lot of people go for unique spellings now. I named my daugher Emilie and can't tell you how many times they tried to correct the spelling and put a y at the end. :angryfire I don't think I would ever comment on the spelling of a name :chuckle

Why does everyone automatically assume this girl will be on welfare? I had a child at 19, and my other at 20. I'm very happily married, my husband is set in his career, I'm in nursing school. We live a very nice, comfortable life and I would ...

yikes! Mine were both 10 pounders lol

For those who complain about their tax money going for it.. When we were on medicaid i was working and paying out my taxes. Believe me, I paid out hundreds more than I used. So I look at it as MY money paying for my visits.

I work as a cna right now doing home care. We are told to open the patients medicine, get out their pills and tell them to take it, but we can not put it in their hand. I hate doing this! I'm terrified that the nurse will write down the wrong m...

I was really nervous my first day of clinicals too. I'm not too good with smells and have found that the vicks works well. I just dab a bit under my nose and i'm good to go.

I agree that the spelling comment was a bit harsh. When chatting online my hands go faster than my mind :chuckle (i am the typo queen!) To the OP, there is a risk with everything. I know these chips aren't exactly nutritious... but I'll eat th...

I agree with ebay! I recently bought a set (pants, top & jacket) for $15! There are in almost perfect condition, very excited about my find

As someone who use to receive medicaid, I got those looks like 'she can't be on it, look at her clothes, car, etc'. Yes, I was poor, did I need to dress or act like it? No. I made every attempt to look professional when I went out in public. ...

To the person who said there is no need for CNA's... I would LOVE to see you do that job and still have time for your duties as an RN. Thats like saying there are no need for nurses, doctors can do it all on their own. RN/LPN's are assistants to...

I have my last day of clinicals tomorrow... our class was 5 weeks long (4 days a week)

I personally wouldn't like a male nurse while I was delivering. Same goes for a male doctor. I felt weird with the women so there was no way I would have a male do it. I'm not saying that one is a better nurse than the other, I just wasen't comf...

I'm taking a cna course right now and we will be learning how to do catheters.

I've had 2 csections and was very happy with them. The first was an emergency, and my doctor highly recommeded the second because it was only 15 months after my first and becasue I was carrying a 10+ pound baby. If I ever get pregnant again, I...

Wow, I think you totally misunderstood what she was saying. Those people tried to put her down for having a 4.0, most likely becasue their grades weren't that great and they were jealous. Them not going back to school kind of confirms that. In...

I'm starting a cna class in a few weeks. I've heard that the test is easy.

21 also

i'm starting one jan. 5th, and its 5 weeks long

I'm sorry if this shouldn't go here, but since I'm getting NO help at all from my doctor, this seems like a good place to get a little advice. A little background, I had my baby on november 7th, during the whole pregnancy I had low iron, it never...

If its seeped into my tissues, will it just go away or do I need to be worried??

"Three things bother me about this post. First it "seems" you were given the iron IV outside of the hospital. I'm hoping this isn't true, and your doctor wasn't that dense or incompetent!" ~ I was given this at my regular OB appointment. "Next you m...
