• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In my area, the problem is that there are not enough nurses and C.N.A's to go around. Many nursing jobs are going unfilled because there aren't nurses to fill them.

You can't hire what doesn't exist. Being a nurse or a C.N.A. is a hellishly tough job, emotionally, physically, mentally. Fewer people are pursuing these fields, and administrators can't pluck them from the air just because they want them.

The nursing facility where I work is looking for both on an ongoing basis.
My wife is a C.N.A. and won't EVER do that kind of work again. The pay is crap, the work too hard. She works for an insurance company now making twice the money and no shift work...

RushingWind,

My three sons and I cared for my husband after brain surgery due to final stage brain cancer. God was my strength. I could have never done it on my own. I, too, was there when God took him home. I am a changed person due to the journey. Blessings, Mare

mare,
It is a humbling experience and puts things in perspective, doesn't it? I too am a changed person because of my experience. I have the utmost respect for you and your family for what you have done and I know, like me, you have no regrets. Even in knowing how difficult the road was. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family....God Bless You and EVERYONE!!..Rush:thumbsup: :wave:
