okay you guys please help me with this argument. My husband wants our 2.5 year old circ'd he was a preemie 27 weeks so we couldn't do it when he was born I told my husband that I think it would harm him psychologically and I said that it doen't real...

I got one last year and my eyes got all puffy, the nurse at the Dr office told me it was probably a reation to the shot I am not sure if I should get one this year!

First of all I am from canada and our medical doen't cover circs. we also do not have pediatricians UNLESS your child has medical issues and once those are resovled you go back to a "family Doctor" I have told my Husband that if he truly wants this d...

does drug tolerance go away? such as if someone was on narcs for a long time and needed high doses for the med to work and then went off the drugs would the eventually get back to having "normal" doses that would work?

so I guess it is the same for all drugs? My orignal question was asked because of a patient that was becoming resistant to benadryl.

I realize that they didn't even look that is what I am talking about we had this funny cover on the isolette that covered the whole bed like a bird cage cover. HOWEVER it was only two or three nurses that did this and DS was on two babies to one nurs...

Acutally I just declined a job offer on this basis alone. I was told that i might have a "hard time" with some of the more experienced staff members.

NOPE not at all :) they just roll you around in the dirt a bit and kinda just nibble a little. Just kidding hope you are okay

I am so frustrated.....My husband and I just moved in march 750KM away from all of our family/friends for his job, so I continue to work as a CNA while waiting to get accepted by a private college, Iget accepted and start school in Sept, THEN last we...

I agree er can be silly HOWEVER my son was a 27 weeker and i had NUMEROUS nurses turn off othe monitor and tell me the probe wasn't picking up.

His "old" job was the best paying job he can probably get and he says that if I think that I am burnt out then what is he. H ejust does things like this. He is always trying to find the next "new" thing to persue he is obsessed with making it big he ...

I am a CNA and heres one for ya.... I have seen this at not one but two LTC facilities. NIGHT shift that does "Change rounds" but don't change gloves OR wash hands between each resident... example 55 residents that need a change at 0500 and one pair ...

ME two nights ago my daughter fell and smashed her face on the tiles in our bathroom and bit her lip it bled and swelled up so bad I was sure she was going to need stitches....well after two hours we find out nope no stitches

I am not a nurse and I agree. I spent many a day in the ED (my doctors wouldn't "fix" my gallbladder) and I saw many many stupid things happen because people are impatient.

I am from canada but the facility is a EDEN facility. It is great! Some people don't think that it works BUT I know it does. PM and I will give you some ideas that won't cost the managers more money and may even save hem some :)

I hust thought that I might point out that 02 will not "blow up" all it does is allow a fire that has started to burn more intensely and if it does get too close to the tank then there could be an explosion due to the pressure on the tank no the O2 i...

Everybody break out the goofy hats and Bermuda Shorts

I have to say that it is really sad that errors like this can happen. I am a CNA and if I made an error that caised harm to a resident then it is MY fault and I would not LET the R.N. take any responsibility. Our facility just started to use the barc...

At our facility we use a combination of techniques to deal with our residents. If they ask where they are we tell them. If they think they are at ****** then that is where they are. There is no point in messing with the few memories that they have le...

I am sorry I was led to believe that you had to have some sort of education to be a CNA my bad. I get paid very well for what I do and then again there are CNAs who get paid very well to do nothing. Yes tell them that someone has herpes or scabies. o...

Here are some good ideas.... 1. Inform them of policy and results of not wearing gloves/washing hands. (it is not your job to babysit them, if they are worht their salt they will realize the importance of infection control, not only for their safety ...

[EVIL]EXCUSE ME?[/EVIL] I would appreciate it if you did not lump ALL of the CNAs in with the complete idiots. SOME of us are extremely careful about infection control.

I am a Long term care aide and I worked in a extended care facility. I had this resident that as soon as she was awake she was asking "what should I do now?" I woke her up for lunch and she cracked an eyelid and mumbled somthing but it was very slurr...

I am a nursing student and I work in Long term care. I wear my scrubs out on errands yes even grocery shopping ACK! I even give my kids hugs after work :icon_hug: BEFORE I change. BUGS DON'T live long after they leave their warm hiding places and any...

How about putting your residents in fron of the T.V. for most or all of a 8 hr shift? Our facility has a barely functioning activity program, it is designed for people who can hold a convesation or transfer themselves on to a bus seat or walk unassis...
