It's says HR on the chart and I was thinking it was respiration rate also, but i don't know. Yea I work as a CNA before, but it was in a SNF unit, but they switch me to sub acute and we had to do vitals. Gonna ask the charge nurse tomorrow I guess... I didn't copy anything from the other charts. I look on the machine for people who had the vents and just left the ones without the vents blank or let my co worker fill it out.

Hello guys. They just switch me to a sub-acute unit after working at a SNF for 5 month and also gave me a $2 raise as a CNA. The job is pretty easy, but when I was taking vitals which read temp, blood pressure, pulse and HR, which I'm assuming is heart rate. Everybody HR was around 17-20 for all patients. My partner that was training me half ass everything and tell me just to copy from the other charts from a later date and I don't wanna ask the charge nurse, because there *******s. If someone can show me the most easiest way to get someone HR would be much appreciated.. btw I'm making only $13 and hour ATM at a nursing home. How much do Cna get paid in California hospitals. Most of my co workers are making 15-20 and hour in hospital, but I kinda find that hard to believe.

I use to have really bad panic attacks, but I just say to myself, its all in the head, and everything is going to be fine..

are you working as a Psych nurse right now?

Sorry my grammar isn't perfect. I'm at a point in my life, where I'm trying to turn it around.

hello guys! So, I've been working at the casino and doing part time care giving, for my great grandma, which i really enjoy. I thought, I'll transper my under the table care giving job, to a career. I've decided to go back to school and was thinking, of getting into the nursing career, since I loved that care giving experience. I've been doing my research and what nurses do on the job. I've read that you need a good amount of math skills to do iv and medication dosage. I'm HORRIBLE at counting and anything to do with numbers, Gives me the sweats and makes my brain hurt. I know it's important to be accurate with your math, since your dealing with someone life. I even have trouble doing simple counting adding and subtracting.. yes I know it's pathetic, but I've always wanted to be a nurse and have the motivation and dedication. Right now, I'm trying to get my feet wet, by getting into this LVN program, but feeling iffy. I would like some advice, from people who work as a rn. I think, I'll enjoy working as a Lvn and most likely do a bridge to rn if I like it.
