   Rocktheman posted a topic in General Students

   My dad has stage 4 terminal brain cancer. He lately has been having symptoms that I have associated as having a possible TIA, but my family seems to not listen to me when I tell them to report it to the hospital or his physician when he has symptoms...

   Rocktheman posted a topic in General Nursing

   I currently work as a CNA at a nursing home and I am graduating with my BSN from IUP this May. I honestly have fallen in love with Geriatrics. I love my patients to death (from a professional viewpoint of course) and love how close I can get with som...

3. Does this make a bad nurse/aide?

   Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in Career Support

   She also screamed this at me while three other aides were also present. I am not sure as to report her to the DON or not. This has happened in a much lesser manner on three different occasions (for the tiniest things, like not realizing I left someon...

   Hey guys. I'm a male RN student that works occasionally at a LTC faculty as an aide. I agree with the nurse BTW, but I'll tell you the story. It was my last day yesterday before the fall semester began. I felt really energetic and felt I did a really...

5. Cna job offer with a week of..

   Rocktheman replied to peachescna's topic in CNA/MA

   My orientation was 2 weeks. Overall though, like others have said, the real learning starts when you are on your own. The first couple days by yourself can seem incredibly scary, but you'll adjust. Just do your best. Good luck my friend.

7. Is finding a CNA job hard or easy?

   Rocktheman replied to MOSmom's topic in CNA/MA

   Overall, I did not find it very hard. I found a job within one month of getting my state certification. Although it depends where you live I suppose.

8. Seriously fed up.

   Rocktheman posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I work 2nd shift at a nursing home. This one aide I report to on third shift, can go kiss my ass. Seriously. I go through walkthrough tonight with her and she doesn't even listen to my report. I get to a room and I'll say "Patient A is weak on trans...

9. Should I call off?

   Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, I am occasional. So I don't get paid sick days. But at the same time that means I have no reason to play hookie.

11. Should I call off?

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Nursing

    I got turned down. She said to call in tomorrow morning. Said it was too early for a "priority" call off or something. She sounded like she didn't believe me though. Maybe its just me. Idk.

    As long as you are a good person and treat me with respect, I don't care. At all.

14. Should I call off?

    Rocktheman replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Nursing

    The flu is bad this year. Like really bad. The one hall I was working on has 12 patients, 8 had an URI of some sort, either flu or progressed to pneumonia.

15. Should I call off?

    Rocktheman posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a BSN student working at a nursing home since June as a CNA. I have never called off from work for being sick until now, and am only consciously thinking so because this is my first healthcare related job. Anyways I am working 2nd shift tomorrow...
