    OMG I just text my Mom, I have to know if that was her experience! This stuff is so interesting. She was a lab tech in the 80s when HIV and AIDS was new, she remembers not wearing gloves, ever....

    CNA Bonus Plan

    Glycerine82 replied to Mariesmith's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    YES! This is a great idea. Monthly, because yearly doesn't give you enough time to catch the unhappy ones who are good and leave due to burnout. CNAs are absolutely the heart of healthcare, and I...

    Student nurses with disabilities

    Glycerine82 replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Who's to say that one nurse with cognitive deficits isn't just as good as the next nurse without? As long as these deficits were there prior to nursing school it's moot,

    Sending res to hospital- did I make the right call?

    Glycerine82 replied to suzw's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You absolutely made the right call, IMHO. First of all, the Dr. told you to send him and secondly, you couldn't provide the level of care he needed. Politics or not I would and will do the exact...

    Are LPN's going to be phased back into the hospital settings?

    Glycerine82 replied to mfigueroa22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The hospitals here in SC are actually starting to only hire BSN's or those who will agree to obtain their BSN within 4 years. All but one have stopped hiring LPNs completely, and the one that still...
