    Who punches a cancer patient?

    strawberryluv replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You should press charges. The boy was not acting under self-defense but out of instinct so in this case he is at fault. Hopefully, your father recovers nicely and without complications. Have a great...

    I hate my new CNA job

    strawberryluv replied to Alexandra_C23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That sounds like a very good CNA:patient ratio and I would stay there. The work that we do as CNAs is hard but really rewarding and if you get 1 year of experience you can try applying to the hospital...

    strawberryluv replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If I was Amber, I would have delayed my flight and monitor myself a couple of weeks before getting on a plane. It just doesn't make sense not to given the scare that I'm having of ebola becoming a...

    Long shift then class?

    strawberryluv replied to OnlyDreaming's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're going to CNA school and working in the hospital then I say go for it only if you can focus on your classes to finish your bachelor's degree. Don't take on more than you can handle. Your...

    IV help

    strawberryluv replied to kevindgalloway's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think I got it. First, convert the 250 mg of amrinone to mcg. You get 250,000 mcg amrinone. Then divide it into 500 mL to get the concentration in mcg/mL of ordered amrinone. That's 250,000 mcg/...
