Thanks for sharing this article 4thGenRN. It seems to have been published in November 2012. It mentions: "The reality is that they [the large droplets] are contained and they remain local, if it was really an airborne virus like influenza is it w...

I also wonder if Ebola is airborne because I find it difficult to believe that the expert doctors, Brantly and Writebol, failed to practice universal precautions knowing their own lives are at stake. I imagine that they were able to teach their supp...

everything you learned is inside of you, just say a prayer, if you pray, and call on it . . . and please shake your nervousness off, a fellow student who knew all the skills failed because she couldn't shake off her perfomance anxiety. shake it off a...

in my group, one to two students shadowed a cna, we went where she went and provided any care that was necessary . . . if you are assertive, you can perform all care while the cna watches, great preparation for the state exam. try to do all of the 37...

wildcatfanrn, have you considered applying to a group home facility . . . from what i've read, it's a place that really appreciates good staff and the environment is cozy and family-like.

wonderful way to encourage yourself . . . it takes good self-esteem to be able to still realize your worth through difficult times. best wishes to you, your husband, and little miss sunshine:heartbeat
