Washington state licenses expire on your birthday and if you let it expire then the fee just doubles to get it active again

Being a cna you are the same as a ra but with a little higher pay

SoOo unfortunately true!

You need to be nurse delegated to do this and yes it's your responsibility. ?

6:00am-2:00pm 2:00pm-10pm 10:00pm-6:00pm

Better yet go to a college

Absolutely not! Use a Gait belt and have them hold your sides

I suggest the littmann classic 2

Have a littmann master cardiology but I'm also a pre-med for cardiology Get a littmann

Just try to get a position at an assisted living facility :-)

Nine can be a lot when you're a fresh cna and are learning how you handle things and multi task. I'm a med aide and a pre-medicine student I work at a assisted living facility and have 80 residents in the AL side and about 80 more on the IL side. There's only two med aides and two caregivers per shift and i get everything done an hour before I get done with my shift to then do charting and stock my cart and insulin boxes. You'll get the hang of it :-)! Very rewarding and definitely has it's ups and downs.

I have Greta anatomy sets. So comfortable and soft. I'm going to buy scrubs from blue sky co.

Absolutely :-)!

I moved to North Carolina from Washington state for nursing school. I went off of the top ratings list for schools! GO TAREELS!!!

Exactly what they said! ^^^^ I have been put on the spot by a resident before lol who had a open bag of food and asked me to try some and ahh it was hard to do it... But I did.

I have learned a lot about myself and nursing from the elders I have taken care of.

Clap clap clap!

I have witnessed herself not wash her hands after using the restroom and go straight into the kitchen.

Discussion with a fellow pre-nursing student: I said, "I'd love to be a geriatrics nurse." She goes "gross." I said "excuse me? " She goes "yeah. Old people are gross." I said "they do the same things that you do!" She goes "I'd rather be a pediatrics nurse." I said "they do the same thing!"

Thanks for the abundance of input for the BlueSky Scrub sets! I'm still wanting to try a pair.

Haha. It definitely is my field. :-)

I'm taking all online courses. Bio chem and psyc. You can do this :-)

Thank you everyone :-)

OP, you are a mandatory reporter. If you don't then you are just as bad. Contact the ombudsman and submit in writing to your DON right away. I'd also contact State and the department hotline number. These residents need you.
