There is a box immediately below for explanation of the work experience. I'm assuming I should put "yes" and then explain I'm an NA II in an emergency department. NA II's in our ED perform a wider...
I think she means that, "CNA work" aka cleaning up poop, bed baths, accuchecks, etc. all things CNA's perform, ARE part of nursing tasks and is not "below" you as an RN. It's like a physician saying,...
I have nothing to add to the conversation really but my sympathies, Capp. We lost 4 students last semester because of unrestricted clinical instructors, 3 of the 4 were male and of those three, I...

This is an Emergency Department, not an Emergency Denny's. You're the one who came in at 0400 for minor abd pain. Don't ***** at me for two hours about how hungry you are, then when you can eat you...
