It depents of the state. In North Carolina, CNA 1 are not allowed to change the colostomy bag or clean the stoma (CNA 1 only empty the bag without removing it from the stoma). If the facility trained you and checked you off, then NC nursing board al...

I have been a CNA since 2010. I have worked in nursing home, home care, and I'm now working in a hospital. Working in a nursing home is killing:dead:, that's when the words "underpaid," "overworked," "understaffed" are the true when being a CNA. For...

DO NOT base your decision on becoming a nurse because of a bad job. Nursing is a wide field where you can pick and choose from different specialties and work environment. Do some research on the matter and follow your heart.

Hi, I have been reading different threads here and I see people calling or referring to nursing students as OP. Why are nursing students referred as OP? What does OP stands for? I tried to Google this but can't find an answer. THX :)

Well, I graduated with a Bachelor in Science in Kinesiology in 2012. A while after, I started working as a CNA in a local hospital. Jobs in my field are scarce and things didn't go as I expected so I decided to go back to school. Nursing seems a gre...
