In the state of WA, the community colleges have good CNA classes. The small companies are not as well liked.... The catch is community colleges are more expensive, but are prefered. In WA, you have to go through the classes to get a license to be a CNA.
I think this may be the case in Florida as well, having to complete a class before the examination
There a skills test, and a written test in WA. Hardest part of the test:Wash hands and give patient call light.....
I did my CNA through a company, but it came highly regarded by my agency.
You have to do a class and also probably do clinicals before you can test. At least, that's how things are done in OR
That’s how I heard of the class that I mentioned, all the local agencies hold it in high regard.
<@&435155893747974155> what kind of burn is this and how should I care for it?
3rd degree
Right now I'm keeping it covered in ointment and gauze
cold water rinse... pat dry with clean towel
ointment and gause
Aloe and lidocaine patches while I work
I thought third degree reaches sub-cutaneous tissue like muscle, tendons, etc
Yeah I don't think it's third degree
Severe first degree bordering on second possibly
But I don't know lol
I got 425 degree glue on it at work and when I peeled the dried glue off it took a layer of skin with it
If it gets any worse or pusses up go see the Dr to get some RX cream
Any Dr will be able to give you a topical cream stronger then some over the counter burn gel
@Louis Loire - NY thanks. I'm going floating this weekend should I just dress it as normal or do I need to wrap it in a waterproof bandage or something?
Or should I even worry about it?
I would put a protective layer over it.
<@&435155893747974155> can any of you fine people read a blood test chart?
Or understand it
@Thomas Morrow it definitely needs to be waterproofed, you don’t want river water on your wound. You are bound to get a bacterial infection or a parasite.
I would do the following
Wrap as normal with your atibiotic ointments etc
And rewear with a water resistant tape or find a slightly tight rubber sleeve
Oh
THat isn't as bad as I had pictures
Almost healed up now. I wear a big band aid over it now
That could be gently wrapped with water resistant tape and gauze and be just fine
Just to keep the product at work from ripping it open
The skin is still thin
This is over two weeks later at this point haha
