Hi, I just got an aide position on a rehab floor of a hospital and am wondering if any of you have specific work out regimes for your back or advice for not getting hurt. I'm in good condition and have just started a general workout routine, but Reh...

The thing is you wouldn't care. you wouldn't be the same person you are now, I think. You can't say what you would want in that situation because it is so different from anything you've experienced, I assume.

WOW- I work at a hospital in Seattle as an AIDE and I make that much- Nurses make quite a bit more than I do here. My impression and research was that nurses in France make significantly less than nurses here- hospital nurses, anyhow. However, the ...

Take the language test, above, with a specialty in science- there should be a course near you. Afterwards, with that in hand, see if a specific hospital willtrain you in the medical language ( you can maybe work as an aide soignant( nurses aide) in ...

Oh Please, when I worry about germs on the bus, it is not the people wearing scrubs I worry about, it the wino with the purse on his head, or the 8 year old wiping his nose on the seat. Get real, people.

HI Y'all. I've written here before that I have been a long time nurses aide, am currently a nursing student, and volunteer as an ombudsman at a nursing home. I am hoping that some LTC nurses can answer some questions I have about the nursing home I...

Yes, thank you. I'm a CNA, have been for 11 years before deciding to study nursing. I work now at a large teaching hospital and love my work. I actually wonder if I'll miss giving bed bathes when I graduate, but I know I will love nursing. THe on...

Why not wine and dine experienced nurses?

sorry for the politics, but teen pregnacy is rising, and STD are skyrocketing, amoung teens in certain places. Sex ed isn't what it used to be, its now abstinence only if the school recieves federal funding for their sex ed- that means NO education ...

It goes to pay the people who process the check, mail out the flyers, and print up the adorable wallet licenses.

Really? I always thought that if you always killed all the bacteria, good and bad, colonized on your skin, you increased the populations of bad bacteria, or could, by killing your normal skin flora that keep the bad guys in check. Then all thats le...

There was an old lady who swallowed a spider That wiggled and jiggled and wiggled insider her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, But I don't know why- she swallowed the fly...

I've been thinking EXACTLY the same thing- RN or OT? Here's what I think will ultimately make my decision; grad school = 25000$ with very few Ta/ scholarship possibilties. Nursing school= lots of scholarships. They pay almost the same, with the up...

The language tests are called the Deflt, Diplome des Etudes Langue Etranger , or something like that I FORGET. sorry, sleep deprived. A google search should help.

Hopefully someone who lives there will give you the heads up. I think you must present yourself on application, and you might look at taking the french language exam just to have the paper in front of you that you speak well ( it helped me get a hos...

You need some support- any support. Get some now! Heres some support I'm throwing your way from cyberspace- CATCH! I think you have a very realistic idea about the situation, but I can' t help but think it might be easier if your mother were in a di...

I think thank you's and recommendation letters to charge/ nurse managers go a long long way. Everyone wants to be appreciated, right? One thing the nurse manager did for us as aides was buy us lunch on days when we were really overwhelmed, especia...

It would depend on what kind of a guy you are. I would probably be cool with it

All of the above AND- a home that is the center of the larger community. Activites for families that visit- formal dinners or movies etc. Recreation all the time but not too much, a garden is important, outside access is important. Volunteers wou...

You owe it to residents of these homes to report to DSHS, the police, ombudsman, everyone. Let us know how it turns out, and if you'd really like to help, contact your ombudsman and see about becoming a volunteer. It is scary, these McNursing home...

I trained as an aide with a retired nursing instructor and remember making beds OVER and OVER until they were FLAT. She was a great instructor, a real view into the past, and her voice is still with me when I make a bed or wash a foot.

An absolute tragety. I hate that the republicans made it a farce, but I hate even more that noone jumped in and did what was just plain right- to allow her to live. Noone lost more than Terri in this.

OhOHYEAH- I finally found my specialty- Where can I get certified as a Sex Education Nurse Practitioner?

When my hands got really bad I A: greased them up with Eucerine ( the kind the consistancy of crisco) and wore vinyl golves to bed to hold in the cream an B: wore gloves to do EVERYTHING at work, changed them often, washed hands with milder soap. OH...

First, In Washington state now one does not need to be a CNA to be a caregiver in assisted living or adult family homes. INstead of the 86 hours of CNA training they take 24 hours of "fundamentals of caregiving" I looked it over and it was very lig...
