It is funny you mention that I have tried to challenge a review that was not right and they refused to change it. However, I decide to leave the whole thing in God's hand, people will be people they will eventually do whatever they plan on doing when...

The old OT clique, we are so big in this, I guess it is because I am just getting into nursing being a nursing student, I want to learn as much about nursing as possible, and my friend who is a nurse is telling me that this is all a part of the nursi...

I am a nursing student and I had this same problem, what help for me, is that I practiced, practice, practice, practice. I worked on everyone in my family, my children, my spouse, everyone. Now BP is not a problem for me, I work at a hospital and I t...

I have a family member who is a Jehovah witness, and she has a daughter and sister who still practice under this religion, she herself has not been practicing as a JW for a very long time in that she has not attended any meeting ect.... She has take...

I have wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, news, today we received a call my family member did receive her blood transfusion, and we (well at least some of us) love her and accept her choice to live, we are 200% God will do the same she is alive and doi...

Even if the family did contact the head of the hospital it would not make a difference, if the patient refuses treatment it is nothing the family can do about that.

Thank you everyone chicookie, you are dead on with this, I just would hate to have anyone think their religion is not being respected, and I really did not know what to expect from the daughter, I feel that at this time everyone should be praying for...

I guess I can understand that, but my heart really go out to this pt, Could they have locked down her room or direct any vistors to the nursing station before entering the room for privacy? I really hate to see her looking for a daughter that is not...

I dont know if you are from a union state, but if not I would have a group of the staff nurses get together and have another meeting, you could simply point out to management that as a staff nurse, you must be able to sit down and chart to avoid any ...

I am aware that all nursing schools are competive, I should elaborate, I am seeking either my ASN or LPN, if I did the LPN program, I would like to continue on with EC bridge program for LPN to RN. Do Texas BON of take the online program Also, here ...

PCT, and CNA are different in that PCT are 5 certificates in one PCT is Phel, EKG, Wound Care, CNA, and most schools I think will give you CPR. CNA is just CNA most PCT course cost around 18k total, if you go to a school like Everest, cheaper if y...

I think this is one of the reasons why nursing should be unionized across the board. Because some people are not for them, but there is strenght in numbers.

I am a nursing student in school, and I am currently working on my preq reqs. My question is this, my mother in law is in ESR (End Stage Renal Failure) and my spouse is trying to assist his mom in anyway possible. The CNA that is taking care of her i...

I wanted to thank everyone for the advice, but I am going to take Virgo RN advice on this and butt out!. my MIL is not on hospice and she still dosnt have a RN- the hospital will most likely have her placed into a nursing home and no she dosnt want ...

yes, that was a suggestion that was given and I think this would workout the best, thanks for your comments

so, if you were to ask me how your mil is doing, and you are not the mpoa, you'd get a very general answer, and if you didn't like it, too bad. you can think whatever you'd like of me. in my facility it is general know who has a poa during admission ...

Yes we have the legal document and we are the proxy on her case, we havnt had the opportunity to take her to have the med adjusted nor have we had the opportunity to have a RN come in and make a written care plan because like I have stated the CNA is...

Thank you pers So in other words just contact the agency directly and request that my MIL have a RN come to do an assessment of her, that makes complete sense to me. I am general not a confrontational person, but I find that I need to be in some ca...

she has been my MIL CNA for a very long time so it would really hurt to see her go, and I really dont think she is a bad CNA, but I do think she should stay in her scope of practice and understand that we each have a part to play in seeing my MIL get...
