1. How do you deal with someone trying to get you fired?

   solDanz posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work in a SNF, usually on the LTC side of things. Recently, I have noticed that certain coworkers have been acting differently towards me. Today I received a call from the head of my department expressing 'concerns' that had been brought to her. Ap...

2. ACLS for non-nurses?

   solDanz replied to solDanz's topic in General Students

   Thank you all for your input. Most of the 'class descriptions' provided carried little to no information on just what was being taught. Most of it was telling the reader about the friendliness of the instructors, or how 'cool' they were for having af...

3. ACLS for non-nurses?

   solDanz posted a topic in General Students

   Just wondering if anyone here might know. I'm planning on doing BLS for Healthcare ASAP, but was wondering something. Is it possible to do the ACLS certification even if you aren't a medical 'professional' (LPN/LVN, RN, MD, etc). My facility has such...

4. Can I retake the skills I failed on the CNA Exam.... or nah?

   solDanz replied to WillRegClark's topic in CNA/MA

   Please consult your candidate handbook for the proper answer. (Many states have them available online.) It may be different in each state, as some may not let your retake it if you miss a certain number or amount. The states of North Carolina and Sou...

5. How do you handle the "punching bag" residents?

   solDanz posted a topic in CNA/MA

   A few months ago, a long time resident died. His bed ended up being taken by a man that is black & white with anger. If it's certain nurses, he's the most lovey individual you could ever meet. I half expect to see his eyes turn into cartoon heart...

6. Another 'is it worth it' question for RNs

   solDanz posted a topic in General Nursing

   Now I know that there are probably hundreds of similar questions floating around this site, but I'm hoping this one is a little different. I am currently a CNA in a mixed rehab/LTC facility, and I am certainly not happy. It's not changing briefs, or...

7. Has anyone here heard of 'Cardio Revelation'?

   solDanz posted a topic in CNA/MA

   While I was still working on my certification, I joined quite a few online job groups and boards to help with placement afterwords. I never saw fit to leave them as I've had jobs in the past that have closed up shop with a months notice or less, so I...

8. Questions about doubling up CNA / Unit Secretary

   solDanz posted a topic in CNA/MA

   To start, a little background. While I have been surrounded by the medical field my entire life, I've only lately become a CNA. The facility that has hired me is not among the higher paying ones in the area, so many staffers jump ship as soon as they...

9. Fastest way to become a RN/BSM (2 Years)

   solDanz replied to FranciscoJ's topic in CNA/MA

   In the school I have just finished my CNA course in, I stopped in to talk to someone in the Nursing department about future career options. Turns out it was the department head! The way she presented it was that, if accepted to the ADN program (which...
