    Suctioning in the classroom?

    PediLove2147 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Private Duty

    Which nursing assistant job would be best for someone new to being a NA?

    PediLove2147 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    I think they would all be great experience. If you are interested in going into ICU once you are done school I would start there as a NA. Sometimes you can get a job out of school on the floor you...

    Anyone work at BWH on a medical intermediate floor?

    PediLove2147 replied to nrsgstudnt89's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    RN to apply as CNA in hosp.is this okay?

    PediLove2147 replied to shiina,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure
