   Hey Guys, I'm interested in pursing a career in the OR or cath lab, after seeing the glorious world of med-surg. How does on-call work? What range of pay for on-call, and how does call back work? Not sure the pro/con of either area. Would love to ge...

2. Help From Experienced CNAs !

   JustCheckin' replied to Keesha2015's topic in CNA/MA

   Example: turning pt to the R....bend the L knee and turn pt. If completely stiff, use the sheet for leverage as previously discussed and get help, as some pt are unable to hold the rail. Sometimes cushioning the rail with a pillow may act as comfort.

    JustCheckin' replied to JustCheckin''s topic in Job Hunt

    Truth is the truth. I have heard this several times over, and even experienced people being hired for a position listed online. The manager still interview folks for the job, knowing it is already filled. Sadness people. Getting a job is very hard. S...

    I felt discouraged for over 6 months trying to find a job. I went as far as applying all over the country, even in Alaska. The fact is, yes there is a nursing shortage, however that is only for experienced nurses. The great news is there is an oppurt...
