A Graduate Nurse throws up when the patient does. An experienced nurse calls housekeeping when a patient throws up. A Graduate Nurse wears so many pins on their name badge you can't read it. An experienced nurse doesn't wear a name badge for liabi...

one girl i worked with was telling me during her preceptorship in the ER, that someone coded... Basically the rule is-- get out of the way, or jump in. You'll do fine, like everyone else has stated, they wont leave you there alone. Good Luck!

"The study was the creation of a vaccine to prevent HPV, which is usually what leads to cervical cancer. Studies all vary, but as many as 80% of the population becomes infected with HPV. There is no cure for it, it does not generally even get noticed...

I had dysplasia after my son was born, the biopsy hurt just a tad.. but more like a pinch.. its over in a matter of seconds.. very well able to go back to work afterwards-- but i'd take the day off anyways just for some "me" time lol.. I had laser ...

Don't forget the cost of living... Missouri is a very "cheap" place to live, so the pay isn't going to seem that great as compared to Cali or Texas or NY. Just Food for thought... Michelle

i believe in Missouri, they go by regional departments... this last facility i worked for tried to tell me that 1 cna, 1 med tech, and 1 lpn was efficient for state on a hall of 35 total care residents on the 2-10 shift... WE (us cna's) argued th...

i'm a cna as well... and i believe what i was told... if you dont use your cna for an entire year - you have to challenge the test.. and if you go longer than 5 years .. you have to retake the entire course. I was told if you worked 1 8 hour shift ...

i was 17 when i got preg with my son, and my mom was 45 and also preg -which would've been her 6th child (she had 5 by the time she was 26...so a few years had passed) but she miscarried. I was 6 months along, and she was 17 weeks. I went to the...

CNA classes are 10 weeks. in Missouri anyways.

i think the facility sets the day for it.

I read the first page of this and decided i had to post... My cousin named her first son O'rion.. i think she ended up dropping the O and is now just Rion. My stepmom worked in childsupport for the prosecuting attorney here in Missouri.. and there ...

I had to laugh at that one.... I was getting prepped to go and have a c-section. 2 ladies come in to start my IV. I am so nervous, because when i was induced to have my son in 2000- i was stuck 5 times before they got an IV in. Well the one la...

I would say go for your RN. I'm also 23, with 2 kids, but i'm going for my LPN. Even though my husband makes good money as well, its not really enough to float us. We have bridge programs that will allow you to "test out" and do your RN in a ye...

GOOD JOB! Wonderful News! :balloons:

I'll clear the confusion up for you-- for Tiffany. Tiffany and I work together in the same LTF. We have an area called SCU- special care unit for alzheimer residents. A CMT is able to work in the unit as a "charge nurse". Of course there is Lpn...

hmmm... i didn't see where she said she was a nurse... can you point it out for me?

At my LTF, the med techs are the ones that have to take the daily vitals on the residents that have conditions changes, falls, new meds, etc. During the first through the 5th of every month, we have to take ALL vitals and weights for every resident...

well said Tiffany!!!

We sometimes have the same problems. I'm a Cna *assuming its the same as a stna* going for my LPN this aug. We tend to have 3 aides on my hall with a few more than 30 residents. My suggestion is-- if this girl is new, You should make one of th...

i just had my physical. The doc did the basics-- lungs, heart, throat. Checked vision, height, weight. You'll have to have an up-to-date TB test. You'll need proof of having the chicken pox or the vaccine. You'll have to list all your immuniza...

i think if a nurse/someone has their own tounge pierced-then that's their perogative. It does annoy me when someone is constantly clicking it, making me want to just pull the darn thing out! I had my tounge pierced at 17. Everyone i knew was ge...

Everything from the school i read, said i had to be registered by April 1st. I waited for what seemed like an eternity for my acceptance letter. April 1st came and went, so i just assumed i didn't get in. Then it was somwhere mid april or so, and...
