1. New health-care law might make doctors more informed, efficient, responsive

   FraidoCat replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

   This initiative seems like it is designed to control costs. Here's hoping it works.

2. CHUX.

   FraidoCat replied to FraidoCat's topic in CNA/MA

   I think my DON lied through his teeth. He told us that the reason they are getting rid of the CHUX is because the company is trying to get a head of the new State regulations next year. And of the regulations is that if a resident wears a brief he/sh...

3. Salaries

   FraidoCat replied to muffinCNA15's topic in CNA/MA

   That's against the law. The minimum wage is $7.25/hr. I make $10.00/hr in KY working LTC.

4. Do CNA's do ANYTHING other than bedpan work?

   FraidoCat replied to northmississippi's topic in CNA/MA

   Do you plan on working in LTC or a hospital? In LTC you'll be doing a lot of toileting, dressing, shoving pureed grool down half-concious throats, things of that nature. Hospitals are probably different.

5. lazy cnas

   FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

   I think it's evident that you are prone to calling CNA's lazy. You don't even know me and you called me one. Pathetic really.

6. lazy cnas

   FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, in fact I am a CNA in an LTC and I resent your brash generalizations. It's interesting to me that a CNA can work hard from the start of their shift, to the end of their shift vitually non-stop and still be called 'lazy' by some dullard nurse or...

7. lazy cnas

   FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

   HA! There it is again, that corporate phrase that means, "just shut the hell up and do what you're told, I don't care how".

8. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

   FraidoCat replied to Emile's topic in CNA/MA

   Not necessarily. A CNA aspiring to be an RN won't be doing the same thing on a Med/Surg floor than he/she would be doing at a LTC.

9. lazy cnas

   FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

   If, god-forbid, my mother were left to lay in a pool of urine and feces for a longer than reasonable time, I would ask the DON why he/she doesn't staff his/her facility appropriately.

10. For those who work in LTC facility, what is the doctor like?

    FraidoCat replied to NP Sam's topic in CNA/MA

    There's a doctor?

11. lazy cnas

    FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    Leave the field then, because if you honestly believe that patients aren't getting the care they deserve because of the CNA's then you are delusional.

12. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

    FraidoCat replied to Emile's topic in CNA/MA

    Depends. What avenue do you want to go in Nursing? Don't work at an LTC if you don't plan on working geriatrics or LTC once you get your RN. Hold out for a job at a hospital.

13. Consumer group sues Anthem Blue Cross over policy changes

    FraidoCat replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism

    Feel free to tell me in a PM. I love reading unfiltered truth about insurance companies.

14. Consumer group sues Anthem Blue Cross over policy changes

    FraidoCat replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism

    I admire those nurses in California, if only the rest of the countries nurses would get on board.

15. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    FraidoCat replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    160k? That doesn't make sense. The max an undergrad can get in subsidized and unsubsidized in 57k I thought.
