payo

my facility conducts pre employment physicals & drug screens. we also do drug screens if someone is injured on the job & wants to see the md. i find the waste of time is setting up a pre employment physical & they don't show up...or come back full of cocaine because there went 70 bucks to screen

In california, i went to the pharmacy of the facility. pharmacies here have lots of educational programs. maybe try that route.

The facility I work at has a 50% hospice census. The residents are showered on a bi-weekly schedule by the facility cna's. The hospice home health aid does showers according to a schedule given to her by the hospice RN. If the resident gets more that 2 showers a week then great! We have to remember, it is all about the resident, quality not quanity. If the na's refuse to do showers, assigned tasks, maybe they need to go elsewhere!! As Licensed Nurses,either RN or LVN, WE are RESPONSIBLE for the direct supervision residents AND of the front line staff (cna, na's)!

Hi! I am new to posting, please forgive me if I error in the beginning. I read quickly about med techs. Here in California, they are trying to get them legalized. I am against it for all the same reasons you are. I went to school for a long time to earn what I do now. I can see facilities hiring 4 med techs & 1 LVN/RN as charge. Then will come the talk of hiring a med tech for (example) 7 bucks an hour vs an LVN 18.50 an hour. We all need to stick together & stop owners from lining their pockets. :angryfire
