  9. I Need Advice On Pre-lvn

    I don't really like the drive to where they have the closest ADN program (isn't this a two yr. program)? The pre LVN classes will only be 2 semesters. Do you think I could get a better job than CNAwith this Pre- LVN certificate?
  10. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides

    Doing their job badly but when it comes to running ourselves to death because they are short is bull.... I don't mind doing my work the way I am suppose to but I think things would be alot better if they would just keep the staff they are suppose to....
  11. Help with hopeless horrible nurse's aides

    Do they have the correct amount of staff(CNA)? I know where i worked we were always short and no wonder everyone is always calling in and not doing their job the best that they could if they just had enough staff...What is the correct amount of staff...

  13. verapamil

    What exactly is verapamil prescribed for?
  14. Cna

    So , where all can you work as a CNA?
  15. Cna

    I was wondering because the LVN program that I am trying to get into gives you points for 6 month experience but I only have 4 from a nursing home. Will they count working at home health or for a private person?
  16. verapamil

  17. verapamil

    but what do they give it for? high blood pressure or what?
  18. school!!

    How many people actually get into nursing without being a CNA first? Does every school go by the "points" thing!? Steph.
  19. Bls???

    I am wondering what BLS is? I was gonna apply for a CNA job but it says BLS required?
  20. school!!

    I am just so afraid that getting the full 70 points for the asset entrance test will not get me in. Maybe I can get a different job through home health and finish out my 6months experience. I just don't know if they will take experience from two diff...
  21. Schizophrenia

    I have brother who is 20 years old and has been hearing voices for about 5 years but only got violent about 1 1/2 years ago. He says the voices never go away and the medicine does not work. He has a very bad problem with drugs now and I think they ...

    Is it true that health care professionals can tell if a child will develop schizophrenia by how big their heads are when getting checkups? Thanks, Steph
