My friends sister attended a two day cna course with me and she is now the "nurse" for a middle school with no RN or Lpn on site and allowed to administer medications. I think they labeled her a different title like health aide which allows her to ad...

I'm not really sure where this goes, but I ran into an old friend the other day and asked how his family was doing. My friend's sister has worked as a CNA for years, but never went to nursing school as she became a stay at home wife as soon as she go...

When in doubt, ask allnurses :)

That could be entirely possible that she is a health assistant or UAP. And you are correct, I am just going off of information that her brother has told me. He is the one that told me her name badge has RN, and I have not personally seen her myself i...

Living in a town that is small enough to not have a mall, movie theater, or Walmart/Target and only about 3 grocery stores in the entire town, running into people isn't uncommon by any means. I did seem to interrogate him about his sister, as it just...

Generally, I study every single day except Saturdays & Sundays (my only days I schedule myself "off" from studying). I always write out a schedule of chapters to read everyday, including after clinical days. Lately, I've been having trouble doing...

I've been trying to self teach myself about IV drip rates, but I'm stumped on one particular problem: "The nurse sets up a 1000cc bag of normal saline. The IV tubing has a drop factor of 15 drops/ml/minute. How many drops/minute will the saline be ad...

Personally, I would just work for a year & save up as much as I could to restart at the cheaper lpn schools. If you moved in with your sister, you would have to pay out of state tuition. If you work for a year & then attend a cheaper lpn prog...

The answer is 25 drops per minute, but I don't know how.

I would take algebra, micro & A&P together. Algebra is pretty basic & pretty much just a step above high school level math courses. I actually found college algebra to be a lot easier than the lower level math classes for some reason. I'm...

Just checked the PSC website about transfer students, and it states that you will need to provide a letter of eligibility to return to your previous nursing program and be in good standing with the program you are transferring from. Since you used al...

... Is that they don't round. 0.1 point away from an A this semester. I don't know if I should celebrate for all the hard work to earn that B+ or be annoyed that I'm so close yet so far away from that A.

I never said I agreed with rounding up. I only said it was frustrating. I didn't ask for an extra 0.1 to be given to me, nor have I ever argued for points back on a test. I accepted my grade because that's what I earned, but nevertheless, it is still...

I am happy that I passed. I'm blessed and thankful to have the opportunity to even be in nursing school & succeed to the next semester. I'm just venting at seeing my grade being that close; don't mind me. I have three weeks off for winter break a...

I'm reading a chapter in my book about F&E, and even ordered fluid and electrolytes made easy and the fluid & electrolytes demystified book, but it seems like all of the symptoms of K, ca, mg, ect seem very similar. (Vomiting, fatigue, muscle...

Hi everyone, I'm in my first semester of nursing school and would like some advice on nursing school exams. A year ago I was in this same class and failed the class by 0.1 points, along with about half of my classmates. Now I'm back as a re-entry stu...

My school does not offer tutors and the teacher refuses to go over tests unless you fail a test. As for other students, most are fresh out of high school and every topic ends up about which club is offering drink specials that night, so I generally t...

76 percent for test grades, 100 percent for dosage calculations, and 100 percent for simulations with no rounding. And the 100s from the dosage tests and simulations don't count towards your grade unless you fail it then you're out of the program.

Northwest Florida: $9 hour. Shift diff is $1 more for night shifts and $2 for weekends regardless of day/night.

I recently got hired on for my first cna job at an assisted living facility. The place looks nice, but my co-workers attitudes are just outright nasty towards the residents. On my first day of training, my trainer was nowhere to be found. After an ho...
