  4. All CNA Classes Created Equal

    classes here in nc are 6 months. That is two nites a week, 5 hrs each class. I was glad to get the experience of a longer class because the skills test is very precise. The state written test is easy, but the skills is not. Some of my classmates fail...
  5. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    My personal opinion on this thread is that you people would rather attack people on the thread than your patients. This is not good, everyone has their own opinion and thats ok. I say, Deal with it.

    I am a registered cna. I am learning slowly that the other co workers will not be of much help to you. For some reason they don't welcome new staff. Anyway thats what I have found out on 3 other jobs besides the one i am at now. You have to learn qui...

  9. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    I really doubt you would even touch the tip of what it's about. Hopefully you will get over your shallow thinking and grow up. I don't know if you have children or not, but if one gets schizophrenia I hope you will be able to show compassion. I don't...

  13. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    this is kind of sad to me. i have a son with paranoid sz and he doesn't try to pick up women, but he has to be reminded to shower and brush teeth, their cognitive thinking is very weak and need a lot of coaching. my son is genuine and caring, paranoi...

    Isn't NORMAL just a setting on your clothes dryer???
  15. Dangerous nurses

    things do happen to them sometimes. We had a supervisor that was a non caring cna, med tech. Screamed at us when we did extra care for the patients. Saying we were making her job harder. Loving your patient and giving them words of encouragement is m...
