Curious about a Nursing assistant job/career, in need of some advice!
Contact your state's board of nursing. There should be a list of approved programs and, whether through the BON or the school you choose, you should be able to find financial assistance options.

So, again... Explain to your supervisor.

Hospital CNA job listing disappeared after 6 days?
Same thing happened to me, but I got the call for an interview two days after the job posting was down. I got the job. The HR manager said sometimes they will take down a job posting when they get flooded with applications just so they can get through all of them.

How much vomiting happens on an acute rehab floor?
I work in acute care rehab as an LNA. I've seen it 2 1/2 times in six months. One full vomiting episode, one person that I had to change clothes and shower after the fact. And the 1/2, just gagging with no vomit for about a half hour.

legal ramifications?
That was my other thought.

legal ramifications?
Silly question, but in this "scenario," is it possible that the OP is the patient?

Did you pass or fail the state exam the first time?
I passed first try. Written and practical. Didnt get nervous. I just looked at it this way : I've lived and breathed this for the last four weeks straight and had no issues, the state exam is no different. And it really wasn't. You've got this! Good luck!

Is floor nursing making you fat?
I've never been overweight, i just know about where my body feels best, healthiest. I graze a lot too. On the days I work (3 12-14 hour shifts a week) I eat 6-8 mini meals a day. Lots of proteins and healthy foods, it just seems to be what I gravitate toward, not really even a decision per se. On one of my days off, I "fast" by only taking in about 500-600 calories. The other days off, I eat what I want. I think because of my changes in eating habits at work as well as my fasting day, it seems that on the days I eat what I want, I want healthy stuff! I've lost 15 lbs since January and I feel better.

Hand Lotion
Oh, forgot to mention... My hubby is a mechanic and will use the gold bond lotion despite hating the idea of "using lotions because he's a man!"
