   I'm a CNA, will I lose my license?

   SeasonedTech replied to Websterwiki's topic in CNA/MA

   Are you serious right now? You walked right out of work without telling anybody or getting the ok k? You didn't get anyone to cover your patients?! You should lose your license. You're unreliable. And yes, some of do have a license.

   Remember pagers?

   SeasonedTech replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

   Um....we still use pagers in my hospital. On my floor we carry them every shift. No voicesaras (sp?)for us on the med floors. I've been at my hospital 18 years, we've always had the them.

   Well I am. We put armbands on and even a sign up in the room. I teach every CNA I train to do the same things. Common sense. You did the right thing OP.

   Dropped out of ASN Program. Advice?

   SeasonedTech replied to Isa95's topic in School Programs

   There is nothing wrong with not being an RN. I love it my job. I never had a desire to get my RN. You do what works for your life. It's not worth being miserable every day.

    Kicked out for first practical exam fail

    SeasonedTech replied to LMP908's topic in CNA/MA

    Are you talking about "donning"? Donning on and off PPE, right? I'm pretty surprised you got kicked out of the entire program for something so simple. Is there more to the story? The class should be more of a teaching/learning environment. Regardless...

    Should Nurses have to clean patients rooms after a patient dies or is discharged??

    SeasonedTech replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in Relations

    A task for a CNA?! No, I'm busy taking care of 12 patients. I'll strip the bed and gather the trash IF I have time, but ANYONE can clean a room. CNAs are too busy providing patient care to be housekeepers.
