  8. CNA training scared the he** outta me!!!

    WickedRedRN replied to dorselm's topic in General Nursing

    No mistake about it, being a CNA is a HARD job. But, when you are a nurse, you will have such an appreciation for what CNA's do. I worked as a CNA during nursing school, yes it is hard, low paid...

    WickedRedRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    If a med is not given because it was overlooked, what would your process be? Say, it is 3 hours past the time it was to be given? Oh yes, and lets say it was something critical, like a cardiac med....
