But I still want to know... Can I renew my expired BLS CPR card? Anyone?????

Thank you mzrainydayz for answered part of my questions. Very helpful!!

Yesterday, I took care of this lady and she has been on my assignment a few times before. When I was about to transfer her back to bed she look at me and said this in a nice tone "Your face are soul". I just want to know what does that mean. TY!!

Oops, I make a typo when typing. The patient statement was "Your face is soul". So does anyone know what does it mean? Just wondering about this comment.

My paycheck is lost. Because usually I wait for 2-3 paychecks and pick it up all at once and sometimes I take home 4-5 checks. Because I still live w/ my parents and they support me so I only use some money out of my paychecks and the rest go to savi...

What should I do now b/c payroll still didn't reissue me my lost paycheck? My paycheck is worth around $600 and it was lost since last year so about 9 months ago. I talked to her about 4-5 times already but payroll still ignore my request. I know it...

On our employee's handbooks it said that we are required to wear our ID badge. But what I see is that not everyone at work is wearing their ID, especially the people that work PM only a few of them wearing it and Noc about 1-2 ppl have their ID on so...

Two weeks ago when I came to talk to the payroll she asked me something like this, why did I waited so long to asked her for the missing check. And I said I didn't know until recently I look back at all of my check stubs that I noticed that one of...

Thanks very much all for the responses. It's very helpful!

I'm just wondering how long does our paychecks lasted b/c I have some that are not cashout yet...too busy...so I'm thinking about switching to direct deposit...

You're so hilarous!!!! People asked me "You don't need money" but actually I'm saving all these money for nursing school, it's expensive you know!!!

Thank you caliotter3 & Dondie for the reply as well!!!

Hmmm... really!!! I never know about this before, if it's true that would be awesome:) I noticed that some checks that I received from other places have the expired date on it but these checks that are issued at our facility didn't say it at all.....

Thanks so much semester1kid & thenameismac for the reply.

I dont think I ever take the 2 15 min breaks at all b/c I rarely have time at all. Even if I do I usually spend that time talking w/ my patients. At my facility we dont have to clock in & out for 15 min breaks but require to do so for 30 min lun...

Yes, I'm very easy when choosing cna job, I would take whatever available. I told them I would take any shift and available 24/7. I graduated and cannot find a job until 7 months later so of course I cannot be picky otherwise I would end up having no...

I'm very appreciate for the advices that you two provided, cna in iowa and Laur318. So as I mentioned above I only work on-call, part-time so there is no benefit at all. But that's fine w/ me for now. I love my job soo much that I'm happy that they c...

Thank you so much franharmon for asking and caring:). Yes, I'm very enjoying and love my job a lot. There are some CNAs here at my facility that are so nice and helpful b/c when I ask for help w/ the transfer and lifting they would willing to help me...

It's b/c I dont want to wait for years to get in the RN program. I think I cannot wait that long so I want to take the LVN path b/c the length of the program and the waiting list is shorter. Beside I know RN school is like 100 times harder then LVN/L...

I'm just wondering... 1. Usually when do you begin charting in the ADLs binder? Is it in between your shift, after lunch or at the end of the shift? I start charting the ADLs at the end of the shift b/c I dont have time to do before that. 2. Is it o...

Thank you Connie1222 for the reply. I just need to complete 3 more classes (Ana, Physio, Micro) then I'm ready to apply for the ASN program but since the program is so competitive so I guess I would stop there. Now I just wanna become a LVN as my nex...
