  4. New cna questions

    jb2u replied to Cna2122's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, empty it in the toilet. If the resident is on "strict I&Os" then you would want to measure it first (if it is urine). Never put the thick wipes in the toilet...it will clog it up eventually....

    jb2u replied to nursingstudent2013's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  8. moving from chronics to acutes with little experience

    jb2u replied to julesd's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think you will be fine. They should really give you more than two weeks though!!! We give our experienced nurses at least 6-8 weeks. I did not find dialysis hard to learn, but you do need to learn...

  11. I want to be a RN and work one on one with patients what field should I study

    jb2u replied to Alex2011's topic in Washington Nursing

    Home hospice care and Home health are one to one. ICU and Acute Hemodialysis nursing are normally two to one. I guess you can go under the specialty tab here on allnurses and read about these to start...

  12. Job outlook for RNs

    jb2u replied to glitteredstarfish's topic in Georgia Nursing

  13. Uncertain

    jb2u replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would not want to recommend a certain company or association because I am not familiar with any of them, but if you google "doula certification", you will find what you need. I hope that

    jb2u replied to glitteredstarfish's topic in Georgia Nursing

    jb2u replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being a CNA is hard work...being a new CNA is even harder!!! If you know you want to do this, then stick it out. I never worked in maternity, but sometimes you need to get experience first (take what...

  16. Any ideas on ways of making extra money as an RN?

    jb2u replied to suture_self's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Well phone triage normally requires experience in peds nursing. I do know some RNs that work in Dr.'s offices doing conscious sedation. Ever thought of just working PRN in a different nursing area?...

  17. Anyone work at a Select Specialty Hospital in GA?

    jb2u replied to JRP1120, RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    First, I'd like to say that I have NEVER worked for them. That being said...two things I've been told... 1) They are the highest paying in the area. 2) It's just not worth the money. Now, that is...

  18. PRN list is laughable

    jb2u replied to parumph's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I understand the OPs point. No the prn staff are not "on call," but you would think that out of so many prn's you would be able to get some people to come

    jb2u replied to Steve EMT-B's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First keep in mind that you are exhaling into the pt. You only exhale 15-18% oxygen. The rest is other gases. Point being..not much oxygen is going "into the pt anyway." Second, they have found that...

  24. Working in a Nursing home

    jb2u replied to thenameismac's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You can get insurance and tuition assistance, but the only "perk" I know of is getting to know all the residents. The elderly are a wealth of knowledge and experience. When I was in a nursing home, I...
