    how to do 8 hour night shifts

    Julie19 replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    Since you already work the night shift, it should be pretty easy to adjust to this schedule. I work three straight twelves and I can't do anything on those days except sleep, eat, and work. At least...

    CNA Opinions and Experiences Q & A!!

    Julie19 replied to Sarahejones91's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1) You are grossly unappreciated as a CNA and highly underpaid. It's also easy to injure yourself if you don't use proper body mechanics. 2) Getting to take care of patients! I love my Alzheimer's...

    Julie19 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Julie19 replied to Julie19's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I took the compass exam. It's used widely here in TN at the technical schools but I'm not sure if it's used anywhere else. On this particular exam, you have to know how to add, subtract, multiply, and...

    Julie19 replied to kassiesay's topic in Geriatric, LTC
