At night it is their requirement that they should keep their patients from getting any sleep, by poking them, asking them irritating questions (like when was the last time you went to the bathroom) and sticking things in their ears and wrapping things around their arms.

Registered Nurse here; That would be a great big YES! providing there are no complications.  In fact many go back to regular activities the very next day.  Some the same day, which is discouraged, should not be done, and please don't be one that does. Follow your instructions to the letter after the procedure and you'll be fine.  Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.

I don't know of anything specific, but check the hospitals. Sometimes they have nurse training programs.

Skim your nursing textbooks, a little each day.  If there is something that you do not recall or are unclear about... reread it.\n\nHave a fellow nurse quiz you with medical scenarios.  \n\nMOST IMPORTANT:  take practice tests.  Questions are frequently re-used from year to year.  Practice tests frequently use these older questions... so taking practice tests will actually expose you to NCLEX questions you will be facing.\n\nGood Luck!  Try to relax, if you fail the first time... it really is no big deal.  There is no penalty (other than embarrassment) for failing the first time.

I will try to answer this question, but remember, I have only recently finished nursing school and will sit for boards next week.\n\nNursing is a committment. It is one that will make you give more of yourself than you ever knew you could. There are good days and bad days. It is so much more than dealing with sick people. You have the ability to actually make a difference in someones life. As a nurse you have the opportunity to play a role in the most vulnerable moments in people's lives. You can educate people on healt promotion, you could give patients support when they feel afraid or unsure about what's really going on. In nursing you will laugh and you will cry, but at the end of the day you will feel like you did meaningful work. You will be tired, but it is so rewarding.\n\nSchool is going to be challenging. It will be almost like working as a nurse, but you can step back and say let me get your nurse for you. That is until you last clinical rotation. In that moment, you are the nurse. Studying will take on a whole new meaning. And clinicals will be the moment that you get to practice being a nurse, with supervision of course.\n\nAs far as working, you will meet all types of nurses on the floor, some who were born to be nurses and others who are burnt out. Alot of it all depends on how you approach things. And don't let that discourage you. Nurses can work in all different areas. It is not just a blood and guts profession. Some nurses even get to work in regular clothes. You would be surprised the things that nurses do.\n\nI love being a nurse and I am sure that you will love it too. My best recommendation is to try a job as a patient care tech in a local hospital or nursing home and see how you do. Also check out the discover nursing website. Go for it! Get your bachelors.\n\nhttp://www.discovernursing.com/

A good role model for any health professional takes good care of your patients.  Do not neglect them, treat them with respect and dignity, and do no harm. As a nurse, you will have student nurses observing you, therefore you must perform your job duties well, as they will hopefully emulate your good performance.  Amongst many issues, do not talk negatively about the patient behind their back, especially to students.  This does nothing but give them the idea that it is okay.  I have obnserved this numerous times, especially in the nursing homes.  Some nurses have even been observed talking negatively about the patients directly in front of them, assuming they don't understand.  Basically, in a nutshell - perform your job duties well - including good infection control, but most importantly be treating your patients well!

dental nurse\nThe work\n\nDental nurses work closely with dentists, providing assistance throughout a patient’s visit. Their duties include:\n\npreparing the surgery \npassing instruments \nremoving water and saliva from the patient’s mouth \nsterilising instruments \npreparing fillings. \nIf the dentist uses general anaesthetic, a suitably trained and qualified nurse may monitor the patient’s welfare. \n\n\n\nDental nurses maintain sterile conditions and ensure health and safety policy is adhered to. They help the dentist to record information about each patient and carry out stock control. They may also process radiographs. \n\nEnsuring patients feel comfortable and relaxed at all times is important. In general practice, a dental nurse may assist on reception and with the administration of the practice. \n\n\n\n\nHours and Environment\nDental nurses generally work 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Unsocial hours may be required to accommodate patients' needs. Part-time work is sometimes possible. \n\nDental nurses work in the NHS, private practice, community dental services, hospitals, industry, universities or the Armed Forces. Travel may be involved when working in certain branches. \n\nDental surgeries are clean, sterile and well-lit. Dental nurses wear a uniform and surgical gloves for protection. Safety glasses and a mask are also necessary to reduce the risk of cross-infection. \n\nThe majority of a dental nurse's work involves standing, which can be tiring. \n\n\n\nSkills and Interests\nTo be a dental nurse you should: \n\nbe genuinely interested in the welfare of your patients \nhave a high level of manual dexterity, good eyesight and good physical health \nbe friendly and sympathetic with a calm, confident and reassuring manner \nbe able to relate well to a wide range of people including children and people with special needs \nhave a flexible approach to work in order to cope with frequent changes in schedule \nbe able to work well in a team \nhave good organisational skills to manage the administrative aspects of the job. \n\nEntry\n\nMany new entrants to this field start work with a general dental practice as a trainee dental nurse, learning on the job, and studying part-time for an approved qualification and entry onto the General Dental Council (GDC) register; see Training section for details.\n\nIt is also possible to begin working as a student dental nurse within a dental hospital or the Community Dental Service. \n\nAn alternative way into dental nursing is to study full-time for an approved qualification with a college, university or dental hospital. Courses combine theory with practical work; see Training section for details. \n\nThere are no set academic qualifications required to begin working as a trainee in a dental practice or clinic. However, most employers and course providers will ask for four GCSEs (A-C)/S grades (1-3) including English, and a science related subject; equivalent alternative qualifications may also be accepted. Personal qualities and suitability for the work are also important. \n\nAn Access to Higher Education qualification may also be accepted for entry to certain courses. Please check with course providers for exact entry requirements. \n\nApprenticeships may be available for those under the age of 24. In England these are currently Apprenticeships (level 2) and Advanced Apprenticeships (level 3). To find out more about these, visit www.apprenticeships.org.uk\n\nApprenticeships may be different in other areas. For further information see Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland\n\n\nTraining\nSince the end of July 2006, dental nurses have been able to join the General Dental Council (GDC) register - by July 2008, it will be an essential requirement for all dental nurses to be on the GDC register in order to practise in the UK. \n\nTo be considered a qualified dental nurse, with access onto the register, you should achieve one of the following: \n\nthe National Examining B

CNA's handle personal care for patients. Bathing,Feeding, cleaning up any accidents, taking them to the toilet(if they can't themselves), dressing, range of motion exercises(for those that need it), taking temperatures, blood pressures, emptying cathetor bags,.. and the list goes on and on.\n\nOn the 3rd shift we would have to do rounds every 2 hours and make sure noone was soiled. If they were, you had to change them. Take temperatures of those that needed it, empty cath bags, turn the people that couldn't turn themselves (so they did not get bedsores) When you have up to 18 patients a night, it is not easy. We also had to get 2 up and ready each morning.Sometimes pass out food trays and help feed. Plus charting intake(fluids) and outputs(urine)\n\nHope that helps.

Maybe you could read messages from family and friends to some of the patients. Also it might be fun to interview some of the staff. One tip for a boring guest is to get them off topic. Ask the accountant about the cafeteria food or ask the janitor what's new in the gift shop. If there's a pediatric department, bring in little kids and ask them to sing.

As far as nursing school is concerned, yes, algebra is helpful, but the algebra used is fairly simple/basic.  It is mostly solving for x, or filling in a formula with values, but you will need to know how to set up an equation based on a information provided.  \n\nMost nursing schools will test prior to admitting a student, and then to move on each semester, some schools will test again.  My school drops a student from the program if the student does not pass the test with at least 95% the second time.\n\nAs far as on the job, algebra is also utilized, however, as a safety measure, pharmacy and/or other nurses are always around to provide assistance when one needs to verify medication dosage.  If you work in an ER, you need to be good with your skills, because there may not always be someone around to assist you in math.\n\nHope that helps.
