  1. I just spent about an hour browsing around the Eden website. For those of you that haven't looked at it...I highly recommend it. It's uplifting and heartening, and it gave me a lot of hope for the nursing homes of the future. I found an Eden Alternat...
  2. How do you deal with an insensitive CNA?

    It appalls me that you're being told on the posts here to find somewhere else to work. What does this solve? Yes, it may make your life easier, but what about the residents who are being verbally and physically abused? Leaving a facility because this...
  3. What time does your LTC facililty start getting residents up?

    In the facility where I work, there is usually one CNA per hall (with 20-25 residents on each hall) on third shift. There is sometimes a floater or two that helps out with the 3 halls, but generally the CNA is by herself to work the entire hall. Each...
  4. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Learned this one through experience....never talk to a patient while changing their colostomy bag....if he farts, that's going STRAIGHT into your mouth and you'll taste it for the rest of the night. Gross gross and GROSS!
  5. Cigarettes and Suppositories

    I work third shift in a nursing home, and of course have several "favorite" residents. One woman in particular seems to say or do something to crack me up nearly every night. One night I walked into her room and she asked me to get her a cigarette, a...

  7. how many calories do you think we burn during a 12 hour shift?

    One night I decided to weigh myself before and after my 8-hour shift, 11pm-7am. I was 4.5 pounds lighter in the morning than when I went into work....and I didn't skip "dinner" or anything....I just did what I normally do: energy drink before work, l...
  8. Can anyone help me find a job? :[

    Personally, I wouldn't even bother with Bayada. I was hired by the Statesville branch and have gotten no work beyond filling in for call-outs. :smackingf I suppose it would be okay if I didn't have a child, but working a few hours here and a few hour...
  9. Anyone applying in 2011

    I missed taking the TEAS test in time, so I too am going to be going in in Fall 2011. Possibly even later, depending on how my prereqs go. I was told by several people to take as many classes beforehand as you can...once you get into the actual nursi...
  10. North Carolina Roll Call

    Hi all! I live in Taylorsville, NC, and I'm going to Mitchell Community College for Nursing. I'm a CNA, and have been looking for a job since September. At this point I'm willing to relocate for a job, it's that bad! I'm a single mom to a 4-year-old ...
