   Baptist West is a zoo... totally mismanaged:monkeydance: and understaffed. ParkWest is great to work for but, the parking situation is unreal. (I would still be working for them if not for that very reason!) Methodist Medical in nearby Oak Ridge...

3. CNA's: What's your favorite shift?

   TnValCNA replied to DreamyEyes's topic in CNA/MA

   I've worked all shifts and my favorite is 7-3!! I'm lucky that I'm not doing 12hr shifts anymore; just too stressful and took all of my remaining days off to actually catch back up to feeling good enough to back in.
