   justme01 replied to kraam's topic in CNA/MA

   Put on your big girl panties and do your time. Accept the fact that you are going to have to put in six months at a LTC facility. Don't put it off. Six months will fly by while you are busy working. On the other hand, if you spend those six months s...

2. Do you help the lazy aides?

   justme01 replied to JDZ344's topic in CNA/MA

   If I am answering another hall's lights, who is answering my hall's lights? NO ONE. Therefore, I don't do it. We have two aides per hall. One aide SHOULD be working the hall at all times. My partner and I make sure our hall is covered. Not so on the ...

   Some family members at my nursing home are looking to hire private sitters. They want their loved ones to have company. I know that sitting is not for me because I have to be up and moving. I need lots of exercise. Also, I think I would get burnt out...

   justme01 replied to CNAkt's topic in CNA/MA

   Don't skimp on your shoes!! Your feet make your living, treat them with tender loving care. My mom was a CNA who always wore inexpensive shoes. She is now disabled due to back and leg problems. I am 5 ft 3 and weigh 280 pounds. I wear Nike Shox or ...

   justme01 replied to ham272's topic in CNA/MA

   You know you are a CNA when you have given seven showers, got 13 residents up, dressed, fed, and back down, answered a multitude of call lights, cleaned up explosive poop and projectile vomit, finished last round, and then leave work saying,"It was a...

10. DALLAS CNA schools?

    justme01 replied to pomegranate's topic in CNA/MA

    Schools that cost 500 dollars usually do not include books and supplies. I called one of them and the receptionist was rude and spoke poorly. Also, a two week course means fewer trips if you have to commute. I looked into another class that was cheap...
