   I think scrubs demand a T shirt or other undergarment for both sexes. If a hairy chested guy goes t-shirtless (or wears a wifebeater), then gold chains and a porn mustache should be mandatory accessories.

4. about what % of CNA's have back injuries?

   dannyc12 replied to michelle_d's topic in CNA/MA

   I find I never get hurt with the heavy ones. I use the equipment and get the help. It's the little ones that get me! Especially younger male hemiplegics. You have them on the edge of bed or toilet and they forget and stand up and reach for somet...

   If you need help from the person training you, be very specific regarding what you need. You could say, "Please show me how to do x" or "Please take a look at patient y, I am concerned about z." She obviously is not going to hold your hand, but if ...

10. Why not wear a mask to 'mask' some of the smells that go along with nursing?

    dannyc12 replied to Cathylady's topic in General Students

    dannyc12 replied to dlissa74's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds exactly like life at my old facility. CNAs who think they run the place and don't have to listen to anyone. The hell of it is - they are right. They do run the place and are accountable to no one. They lie their buns off when caught and fo...

13. What are the pre-nursing classes like?

    dannyc12 replied to TCLA's topic in General Nursing

    Physiology and Microbiology are widely considered the most challenging prerequisites for nursing school. If you work hard and spend the time, you should be able to do very well in them. (You need to do very well in them) The math is not really compl...

14. Home Care Aides: Stay busy?

    dannyc12 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in CNA/MA

    This sounds like some very good feedback for your case managers (not your fellow HHAs). You should be documenting on your visit notes what you did and how you spent your time in the home. Your notes should be a version of what you posted here: "Did...
