First this is the pov of a tech /nursing student..I thought this might be the place for this post. I have only had one terminal wean patient and the patient was concious and she made the decision to remove her vent. This is my biggest issue w/becom...

Im in awe of those that make a long-term career out of CNA/PCT ..My question is what are your reasons for making it a career??..and ive always wonder is there a salary cap ?? Are the 20 year vets making 20+/hr?

I have plans to relocate from stl to the LA area after I graduate lpn school. How hard is it finding a job as a new lpn/lvn? Any advice on getting a California lvn license?

What city are you in where a cna makes 15/hr after 1 year. And 18-20 for dialysis? In stl, mo >>>> cna ltc 8+/hr pct hosp 10+/hr. Dialysis 12+/hr ..these are starting pay figures

I didnt add this to my story but the husband really didn't agree he felt like she was being killed.he didnt protest too much just made those few comments. but it was her decision and yes there are worse things than death ...it just shook me a little

Do you think being aware your headless for a few secs ... is worse than being on death row for 14yrs ..or a botched hanging or firing squad ..ppl suffocate in the gas chamber..the chair seems horrible..idk...maybe the "exit bag " would be best ... or...

Sorry I meant the guillotine. .. guaranteed quick and painless..

Gallows is the most humane form of execution ...it just looks so horrible lol

Psych is pretty cushy(not geriatric or adolescent) but she will lose any med skills she had left (just pass meds ..) and l&d is hectic but post partum was pretty much a hotel as a tech I took v/s ..took moms to bathroom and did peri care ..and ...

Yeah me too...only thing worse while being 8mths preggo would to be in prison or homeless lol (not funny tho)

Piece of cake! Show up everyday and stay positive. .the hardest thing for me was manual blood pressure and sitting through the lectures.

Congrats on completing your training ..ive only had experience w/dementia pts in geriatric psych ..Working with them can be funny/frustrating/sad/exhausting ....it definitely takes a special person to do so..I got hired as a float pool tech in a hosp...
