  5. CNA from ortho transferring to ICU

    guest769224 replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yep it would be a perfect idea. I've worked as a tech in the ICU for the past 2 years and LOVE it. I get to ask the nurses all my nerdy questions and fill my brain for nursing school. You will see a...

  6. Is becoming a CNA a bad idea?

    guest769224 replied to Cinnibun2618's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Lol, that is so far from the truth. You will get to go home when your shift ends. Sure they may say, "Hey cinnibun2618, can you please stay later since we are short staffed?", and you'll have the...

  10. Test question.

    guest769224 replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    What is the answer to your 2nd example? I'm baffled. A is non-therapeutic. C blows off the patients feelings without addressing them. D is false reassurance. Not sure what to think about B…...

  11. Test question.

    guest769224 replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well if it were MY test I would choose A. I feel like the rationale for B being wrong would be "A question that asks why is a communion block, and makes the client feel defensive." That's what ATI...

  19. Nurse Tech in ICU

    guest769224 replied to Wayne876's topic in General Students
