Maybe look into home care agencies and look into 3rd shift options. Many of the girls I work with that are 3rd shift have time for study time. You are usually around for help if they need help going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, or to h...

When your CNA sences are on high alert when you see a elderly person in the grocery store and you think what do I have to do help them. You feel you need to be right there and walk next to them to try to catch them if they fall. (Where is that gait b...

A lot of money no weekends or holidays.....hmmm nursing no....politics yes

As long as you did not sign any paperwork that requires you to work X amount of time after getting the certification you are under no obligation legally to have to work for them. Though I do agree that it looks alittle shady to jump to another job as...

The one I actually did myself was bring my few day old baby to the er with me and my husband when I was the patient. I had a C-Section and one night started to bleed what seemed like a pretty good amount of fresh blood and I was starting to feel funn...

No house keeping is not on state boards because it is set up mainly for those that work in a ltc setting. However we CNAs that work home care are in a more unique setting. We provide a service were people can get personal one on one care that they n...

As a graduating nursing student you should be able to take the CNA States test without taking the class. If you want to work as a CNA for a little bit till you pass the NCLEX it might not be a bad idea if you need the money to start to pay off the lo...

Is there somewhere in the field of teaching that you could love and still use your teaching degree. What about being a tutor either private or working at a place like Sullivan. There are a lot of online programs as well that might be looking for qua...

I'd say it can all depend on what about CNA work you did not like. Being a nurse can be totally different then being a CNA. But if you dont like the health care environment then nursing might not be for you. I think shadowing a nurse would be a great...

Yes what you are describing can be true. But our agency has a minimum 2hr visits. We don't go to 7 homes in a day.

Being in home care can be difficult. You will have clients that you will love like your own grandparents and then there will be clients that you want to just hide under you covers when the morning comes and wish it was the next day so you will not ha...

Maybe they are already in nursing school and they are studying a unit about IVs right now. I agree that I don't understand the obsession over IVs if you are only a pre nursing student

But...but...but there are so many people out there that need to know about how special of a snowflake they truly are. Isn't it our duty to make sure they know this about themselves.

Just last night I had some out of town guest, and after they left our house I went to plug my phone in my charger and saw I had a voice mail from work listened to it and they said they had a no call no show and was wondering if I could call back. Wel...

100% online class.....nope you won't find it. Like PP said you have to do clinical somewhere. Its probably a place that the class has access to. My class was able to go to the local VETS home. It was a great experience.

Thank you for your service for us and our country. Giving you a big hug of thanks

I dont know but something feels fishy here. I can not believe that a manager would verbally admit that they were bending rules and hinding things so that the Ministry of health would not find out about wrong doings that they are doing at the facility...

Oops I understood the post wrong so I said yes but I now understand exactly what the post is talking about yes is not the right answer. Like PP said we are apart of the care team but we are not nurses and so why would be considered part of a group th...

Maybe coordinate with the HHAs company. You can call them and say I am seeing Mrs Jones on wed and Fri at 10am. Could you have the aide know so that she can get Mrs Jonesready for my visit. You could explain how she is not ready or is in the shower a...

Maybe they think they know how much you make because they knew how much the person that had the position before you was making and they are just assuming you are making what they made.

One thing I'll say is it is refreshing to here a nurse say they like med surg. Usually nurses seem to hate med surg and can not wait till they could transfer to another department. I am with the others and see if you can talk to your manager about ge...

Well your first post is a little confusing....I'd like to know how you know these things are going on during company time when in your first post you said you did not have proof of any of this. If you have another job lined up why are you so bothered...

I knew klone could not go 6hrs without peeking lol

Oh boy here we go..... in 5....4...3...2...1 ACTION

You need to focus on you and your schedule. Have you ever heard of when you talk to people about conflicts to talk in "I" statements not "you" or "them" statements. You don't know at this time the reasons why some people have different schedules. I...
