I feel healthcare should be a right. If we value health and quality of life then we must provide healthcare when needed just as we (as a society) attempt to provide an abuse free living environment or opportunity for education. Now having said that, ...

Could you say something along the lines of "For the privacy and safety of other patients guests must return to the waiting area when they are not in-room with their family member" It's right .... and give directions.... :-) Would that be allowed?

In Texas the sonogram is performed the day of the procedure and is silent and without viewing the screen unless the women wants to. It verifies gestation age as well as placement of fetus (ectopic etc) and if there is more than one. Many times a woma...

Saccharomyces boulardii maybe? Its cheap too. Saccharomyces boulardii Protease Inhibits the Effects of Clostridium difficile Toxins A and B in Human Colonic Mucosa

A boy I grew up with and cherished had parents who had the same negative attitude about psych drugs some of these posts do. Went off to college and tried to kill himself. While in 24 hour watch he succeeded by swallowing the pillowcase he had removed...

My only thought is I find it interesting you say you don't want her near your patients ... but not you don't want her near ANY patients. The only difference between 'your' patients and 'any' patients is that one group impacts you while both groups m...

I think people sometimes have not been taught the difference between dressing up, dressing sexy, and dressing professionally.

What does understanding the connection between professionalism and appearance have to do with patient care or compassion, empathy, or understanding? A patient is not showing me through words, actions, and yes, appearance, how they are the best qualif...

I thought the list was hysterical, and read similar things a decade ago. Some people are either not experienced enough in a work environment, or are not smart enough, to understand these things and have to be told. Usually when you have to be told ev...

I would just like to point out that in all the professions mentioned when the emergency presented is outside of the normal risks and has a high likelyhood of death they ask for volunteers. I.E. the meltdown in Japan, they asked for workers who were w...

Now you have me curious, please let us know what the answers were when you get them! Just my opinion but I would totally go with monitor for relief of spasms and not teaching as my FIRST intervention related to the medication. I am first year and hav...

Nursing is a high stress, labor intensive job, and will not ever make a person "rich" so if you don't really want to be a nurse, then perhaps you should trust your gut and re assess what types of careers will fulfill you as well as pay bills. Having ...

My tip for nursing school, make sure you have a plan B for drop off/picking up the kids and someone willing to watch them since the schedule can change daily! Plan meals based on budget and TIME. No fancy dinners that take an hour to prep and then cl...

I cannot comment on the job since I am a student, but I will say that if it makes you feel negative in someway after (guilty, shameful, dishonest) then of course it would be better to simply tell the patient that while you might not share the same fa...

I just wanted to say try and keep your outlook positive! Many people look for 3-6 months to find a job in almost any field, with or without experience! It is not unusual! Keep looking! ~CS

I asked about this while doing my cna clinicals and was told that it was part of my job to check both the daily chart and the care plan in the room every time I came on shift to find out such things. (I was wondering about c-diff at the time though)

After trying many different things my doctor (General not dermo) put me on BC pills that are monophasic, and I take one pill every night of minocycline. Not only did the BC pills level my skin related hormone eruptions but I stopped having a meltdown...

There are two ways to fail, if you miss or incorrectly perform a BOLD step then you fail, period. If you make TOO MANY mistakes on the non bold steps, you can fail. I could not find out how many was too many or how they tally that. When I said docked...

For those of you who have taken CNA training in WA state would you please post your facility, the location (city) and whether you felt the education you received was of good quality or not? It is so difficult to find more than just a couple of review...

I don't know if you already took your test but our instructors said that not pulling the privacy curtain ALL the way got you docked and one girl failed because on oral care she forgot to brush the tounge!

They are starting something new this year, part time nursing school and the deadline is said to be.... "The online application will be available beginning June 20, 2011. The application deadline for 2012-2014 admission is Sept. 2, 2011." .......as ...

I think I was on the lowest range of accepted for winter (still want to stay spring doh!) I went back and looked at my scores, (I took it twice TEAS version V) , and the higher score was an 86.00 on the dot, with a GPA of 3.8. (My other score was an ...

de nada, I am doing my online spanish work

for me it says may 31st to respond and pay my deposit.

To be honest I don't know anything about the wait lists, but 6 is not very far down the list! Some people will probably go elsewhere, and others may end up not attending, there are always the couple of people who get married/move/have a new baby etc ...
