    OEC to equal to an EMT?????????

    I can top that! The hospitals in my area are starting to require an NREMT-IV certified individual to also go thru CNA training in order to keep their jobs in the hospital, I guess a few didn't make a bed right or didn't push the wheel chair right. It is so degrading the way they treat us, a CNA...

    CVA disrupts Alzheimers?

    It was in her records that she was struck with the Alzheimers in 1999 so she had progressed quite a bit in the disease. I make the trip to Siskins a few times a month and I plan on checking in on her just to see how she progresses, it is so facinating to me, I guess I should have went into...

    CVA disrupts Alzheimers?

    I had a pt yesterday that really puzzled me. The pt had a hx of Alzheimers listed and was being tx to Siskins for rehab for a CVA.
