   Have been a HH CNA for 7 mo. How do you get a accurate B/P on a Pt. with irregular heartbeat? No one I ask has been able to give me a usable answer.

   Lil123 replied to banditrn's topic in Geriatric

   Sorry that happened to you. Just think of the people you exposed. Not your fault. Your facilty doesn't even care about the patients!

   I think a written snail mail reply would be best. I think it's wierd he gave you his e-address. Maybe that's just me. Good luck!!

   Thanks to all who replied. I guess to get further training I should move out of HH and get into a hospital or other setting.

7. Now or future

   Lil123 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Right now I have no thoughts of going further into nursing. I wonder though are there now or maybe in the futhur different levels of training for CNA's. If there are other training how would I get access to them. I could see there being CNA 1 or 2 e...

8. Need honest opinions...

   Lil123 replied to downwardspiral4's topic in CNA/MA

   There were pregnant CNA's in my class. Be careful about lifting. Ask your DR. if he has any restrictions. You should be fine, if you want it go for it.

9. Where Do You Work?

   Lil123 replied to casi's topic in CNA/MA

   Hi. I work for a home health care agency. I started as a homemaker for a year. Last fall I went back to school and earned my CNA. I like it. It's hard being new with my skills and only having nurses on the phone. It's interesting though.

10. Calling All CNA's!

    Lil123 replied to nightingale's topic in CNA/MA

    Alright!! This is great!! I've been a CNA since last DEC. I work in HH. That has it's own unique challenges.

11. Telling the public "what nurses do"

    Lil123 replied to C. Rosella's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean. I work in HH as a CNA. Even the office doesn't always get what we do. In my field some jobs are easier than others. When we get the "cushy" job they act like we aren't working. This patient has dementia and has family problems, ...

    Lil123 replied to nwb's topic in International

    I just became a CNA this Dec. I'm 50! I think age makes us better. Don't sweat it. You'll by pass the young ones by when you get promotions! Go for it! Lots of luck!

13. How many of you started or starting with NO experience

    Lil123 replied to *lisa*'s topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response. Are you enjoying working as a NA? I think your experience will make you a better nurse and supervisor. The reason I as yet have decided not to go further into nursing is because I want want to stay closer to the patients. Th...

14. How many of you started or starting with NO experience

    Lil123 replied to *lisa*'s topic in General Students

    Okay I'm just a CNA. I going to ask a question. The RN's and LPN's supervise us. How good a supervisor can you be if you have no experience? Do they teach you all our skills also? Just curious.

15. CNA board cert test tips???

    Lil123 replied to moliuchick's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you have already been giving a lot of good advice. I took my tests in ILL. in Dec. Our skills test are done in a nursing home and we have to pass 15 skills for the teacher! Sounds like you only have to use the lab. Don't worry you'll do g...
