Yes, yes, yes!!!! I don't think it should be a law, but should be required by the school. I have been a CNA for almost three years. In our ADN program, they taught us everything in two hours. We are in our last semester and there are still some p...

I just took myself off from Lexapro about a month ago. My husband and I are trying to start a family and I figured it would be safer and easier to get off it now than to try to quit "cold turkey" once we are sucessful (hopefully). I was also on 10...

When we were doing our maternity rotation last semester, we used to meet in the nursery on the L&D floor (it isn't used unless there is a problem). We normally have to wear white pants and white tops but for maternity and peds, we were allowed t...
