Trisha, You got a lot of priority/delegation questions, and that's a really good sign as they are the higher level questions. Hope this helps you! :) I'm sending good thoughts your way and I hope you...
Although the majority of people feel as if they've failed the test, there are a few people who feel good about the test. I don't think that what your DON said is either inspiring or necessarily true....
I'm sorry about your passed results, but this absolutely doesn't mean the end of things. Do you plan to take the NCLEX again? The mod of this forum, Suzanne4, has a program for students taking the...
OK, forgive me if you've already seen this as I had posted about this in another forum, forgot which one it was and now I can't find it. My questions is, how can semi-private rooms be HIPAA compliant?...

With my dh's grandmother currently in the middle stages of Alzheimer's, I know that hospice is a blessing. The last hospice nurse wasn't so good, but we have her in a new setting and hopefully she'll...
I first read the original one when I was getting my CNA. It really had an impact on me and I like what the author had to say. However, I know that there is a flip side for SOME patients, not all....
I don't know if I'd consider a CNA doing a careplan silly. If the CNA is going on to be an RN, I believe it would be very helpful just to see what one looks like, and to get a feel of what you'll be...
If you got a lot of priority questions, that's a good sign. Hopefully you'll find out soon that you'll be able to sign "RN" behind your name. BTW, everyone feels discouraged when they come out of the...
Hi sbh, OK, don't let it scare you that you got 125 questions on the test. The number of questions you receive doesn't say anything about how you did on the test. People pass and fail with 75...
Hey everyone, The moderator of this forum, Suzanne4, has a study plan that was worked for so many people. The focus of her plan is using Saunder's material. If you would like to use this plan, send a...
Where to begin. I'd like to keep this short not only for HIPAA reasons, but because I'd possibly spend the entire night explaining this situation. I'm a relatively new CNA. I've worked in...

I just wanted to thank you all for your encouragement, support, replies. You all are just so awesome. I was concerned about posting here but I'm glad that I did. This home is licensed by the state to...

Just an update, I have left this job. I have decided that this is too much for me to deal with at this time. Incidently, my husband's grandmother was at that home. Not anymore. My MIL found out the...
Hope this isn't too far OT but I've taken a look at Nrse Judy's ghosthunting website. Although I haven't had the chance to look through the whole site the way that I'd like to, what I've read is...
Wow, I feel bad that I missed this one as it would have been interesting to see. I know that counterfeit drugs are out there but I'd bet we'd all be surprised (to a certain extent) to learn where they...
If anyone is interested, the pass rate for the NCLEX at Seminole State Univ in Oklahoma is 85.71%. Not too bad of a pass rate, at least above the national average, I believe. Edit to add: OK, just...

When I originally inquired about the job, I was told that it was 3 people. We were going on vacation and he told me to call back. I called back a few weeks later and was hired. I was not informed that...

As Drifternurse said, this is a group home and I feel that the level of care of above assisted living. There is no nurse with me, other than hospice visits and I know that they are there to see their...

I'm having such problems with formatting and I didn't want to make that post worse. I will also be expected to set up and pass meds after I get that certification. I also need to get a food handler's...
No, I didn't miss that part of the post. NONE of the behavior should be tolerated. The entire EVENT, slapping the resident, verbally abusing the resident, everything was just horribly sad. I'm sorry...
Not only will you have to be honest with your school, your state's BON, but it might affect future employment. When you apply for a job, it will ask of you've been arrested for ANYTHING. I know that...
