    Postpartum CNA

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    While I am satisfied working in hospice and happy with my employer for the most part, there is some instability going on, and it may lead to changes in my position I'm not in favor of making. A...

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have found some really old threads about EVIT here, but would like to hear from anyone who has recent experiences with them. I am thinking about taking 2013 to get myself ready by taking some...

    I got the hospice job!

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    After two weeks and three interviews, I was offered a job on Friday evening! I am so excited. I am very hopeful as I believe from everything I have experienced so far that the culture at my future...

    Anyone heard from Gateway CC in Phoenix yet?

    duskyjewel posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was told acceptance notifications for the Spring 2015 LPN class would go out this month, and have been checking my email for weeks. I'm trying not to obsess, but...... I just want to know where I...

    We in hospice have a lot of educating to do

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    This exchange took place earlier today on the thread about "choosing a date to die." I think it's clear that those of us who work in hospice need to work harder to educate not only the general...

    Admin nurse returns to bedside and.....

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So when a nurse who was working in an admin role comes back to the bedside, and starts complaining about the same things she minimized and ignored, is it evil to enjoy that just a little

    duskyjewel replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What? Are you saying their lab screwed up and she never had Ebola? Do you have a source for that? Or are you

    Will my CNA license get revoked?

    duskyjewel replied to zawadi's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You need to stop calling this a mistake. A mistake is turning left when you meant to go right, or writing in red pen when you should've used black. You didn't accidentally walk out of a store with...

    Another question for students and CNA grads

    duskyjewel replied to Vtachy1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My employer uses them. I don't know that they help me learn. They seem to be a cool toy. Their best use seems to be to gauge the knowledge of a group without anyone having to be obviously wrong in...

    "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    duskyjewel replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    duskyjewel replied to Vtachy1's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ruas61, I am so sorry. That was very, very wrong of whomever did it. That violates the principles of hospice, and you should complain to the agency you used. If they have a need for retraining, or...

    "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    duskyjewel replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. That is not how I was taught, but it sure seems to make a lot more sense, and not just for Ebola. I'll be changing how I do it from now
