...the facility. The RN and LPN work closely to the physician in treating the patients properly. The roles play by these two-important people is very important charting and note taking must be done daily. Sometimes Stan duties are assisted by the RN and LPN. • STNA: My favorite of course they are the most valuable they work closer to the patients, then sometimes any of the staff. STNA have the more internal relationship with the patients because of the hand on hands job description. We are more likely to notice any difference in the resident first. They responsibility is to take care of patient’s hygiene, mouth care, every day care and to report a patient failure or most important ABUSE immediately. Were first on the scene and the last to leave. • Therapists: There are four types of therapists, Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Respiratory Therapists, and Speech Therapists all four of these therapists working together help restore the function of patients. They help patients who were involved in car accidents, whom had strokes, trouble swallowing, or just to keep the elderly whom are already functioning to stay active. To work as a therapist a license is needed and a master degree.

...With this experience, I learned how to show residents compassion, care, and kindness. Alongside that I had a chance to perfect my skills and tasks as an STNA. I made beds, dressed residents, performed range of motion, and assisted with oral care and toileting needs. However, I learned to look past these residents as a task to check off my to-do list, and instead view them as a human being, an individual with needs and wants just like myself. Then, upon completion of my STNA license I quickly found a job where I knew I could be of great...

...In this video they discussed a certain living facility called Emerald Hills (Emeritus) specifically the care memory unit. What they bring to light in this facility is the care that Emeritus provides for it residents. What there was a lack of care wise and the negligence that occurred. Another point brought to light was the way Emeritus admits patients that should not be in an assisted living facility. A major problem brought up was the lack of staff to care for the number of residents this facility had. Not only were they understaffed, but they were inexperienced in the positions they were employed for. All of these issues are addressed throughout the video. The major thing that makes me sick in this video is resident is brought to a facility...

...WHO MOST INFLUENCED YOU IN BECOMING A REGISTERED NURSE (AND WHY?) AND WHY YOU WANT TO BECOME A REGISTERED NURSE. I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time. My decision to become a Registered Nurse is something that will help me pursue my passion in the very near future. I intend to go on to get my Nurse Practitioner after completion of my RN. My family has influenced me along the way, because though I have heard both good and bad things about what could happen I continue to pursue it.

When I was very young my mom and I got into a car wreck....

...Biological and Adopted Parents We all have parents. Some of us are blessed to have parents who are either biological, the DNA in a persons’ body is the same, and unlike adopted parents a person does not carry the same gene, but it is how they raise the child/children and they love and treat you like the child/children is their own. I was blessed with both kind of parents, and they have a variation in many ways because of the life styles, the support, and the home environment. It is hard growing up thinking that the adopted parents are your birth parents, and then later find out in life that they are not. That was confusing for me who was only ten years old to understand, but Matt and Martha, my adopted parents who I will be calling dad and mom, answered any questions I had about anything, and they were completely honest with me. Unlike Sonny and Mary, my biological parents, and will be called them by name because they are not the ones who raised me and taught me everything I know in life. I was two years old when I got adopted, but then I was in seven fosters homes from the age of six weeks to two, and that is because the government kept giving us, my brother, Richard, and I back to them thinking that they had changed their ways but they never did and that is why there was so many foster homes. Until one day they decided to adopt us because they could not have kids of their own, and that changed my life after I got adopted, and also for the better, and would not want...
