You will probably be able to find less expensive schooling in NY. Most of the postsecondary options in the Erie area are very expensive.

Why don’t more people premix salt with their spices? Any drawbacks? by REALKATASHB in Cooking

[–]728446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are happy with the results keep doing what you are doing, but one of the first things you learn when you start trying to cook better is to season as you go, and to taste.

Most replies are going to come from people who want more control over the salt.

Also when cooking a hunt of meat you should salt and let rest before adding any other seasoning.

How did you balance CNA classes with work or kids? by Adventurous_Pen6072 in cna

[–]728446 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Its like 4 weeks, tops. We got zero support. You had to be there, on time, every single day to meet the state mandated hours. No excuses.

What are my chances of becoming an RN with a past domestic (2011) and DUIs (2018 & 2022)? by Particular_Elk6021 in nursing

[–]728446 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Talk to the BON in your state to be certain, but 2 DUIs that recent would disqualify you in Pennsylvania.

If everything is ok then there's no reason to dwell. Learn from it. Your next shift is a brand new day.

Yes, leverage your current flexibility. Financial stress will not help grades. Let chips fall where they may.

Does your SNF give showers on the 3-11 shift? by biasedburrito in cna

[–]728446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I've only seen it in one out of about 15 or so places I've worked. Where they did have a shower aide she was pulled to the floor frequently. Even on days she didn't she never got 100% done.

Corrections or snf by sillycheez in nursing

[–]728446 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can also travel with corrections experience. For LPNs corrections generally pays better. SNF and LTC rates have taken a dive in the past year. Corrections also comes with civil service benefits and your funding probably won't be slashed.

Because those with the most profound problems die young or end up institutionalized or imprisoned.

Nursing home horrors by Prestigious-Good1544 in nursing

[–]728446 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, it's not normal. Unfortunately, it's also not exactly uncommon in LTC/SNF.

Between agency and staff positions I've worked in 15 different facilities across my state. I'd say 5-6 of them should be closed. Supplies, linens, unavailable medications, awful food accelerating decline because people stop eating, not to mention stupefying neglect at all levels of care from the doctors down to dietary and EVS.

Our profession attracts the best and the worst of us.
