    lbmRN2014 replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

  10. Tired of nurses and agency staff treating Home Health Aides like throw away napkins!

    lbmRN2014 replied to Xavier97x2's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree with you, except my agency is pretty good about not digging into my business. If I need a day off, I just shoot them an email saying what day or days I need off and that's it, no questions...

    lbmRN2014 replied to RT21's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    CNAs are not required to be CPR certified at my company unless we are caring for patients under 18 years old. I had to pay for my own certification, which was like $35. I currently do not have any...
