1. ER Treatment

   Caligurl replied to Caligurl's topic in Emergency

   Another thing. I spent all morning looking for a dentist in this county and other counties who would help me and no one would. They all said that I should go see the dentist I have now. So guess they won't be getting any business from me. The oral su...

2. ER Treatment

   Caligurl replied to Caligurl's topic in Emergency

   You're right. If they don't treat tooth pain or anything along those lines then it's fine by me. But they did not have to be so rude about it. What gets me is that they've treated dental pain before (my husband) and my clients who come in and apply f...

3. ER Treatment

   Caligurl posted a topic in Emergency

   This may not belong here but I couldn't think of anywhere else to post this. About 3 weeks ago I went to the ER for tooth pain at about 3 in the morning. I couldn't wait any longer and I couldn't get in to see my regular dentist for another two weeks...

   Hi Krissy, you sound the exact same way I did when I first went into LTC as a cna. i went to the administrators a butt number of times asking them to do something about the new aides they hired, to show them or at best, let me train them in giving ca...

6. CNA Payscale

   Caligurl replied to Caligurl's topic in California

   Yes, I have asked for a pay raise numerous times and as far as I know, in over a year, all the CNA's at this particular facility have been asking for a raise for over a year and they were all just given a dollar raise in January of this year. That wa...

   Well, I got a call from an agency here in Cali last week and just called them back today. LOL They have me in their listings and they said they need people badly. So I will give this a try. The pay they described sounds a lot better and I get a bonus...

8. CNA Payscale

   Caligurl posted a topic in California

   I just read that the average CNA payscale for the area I live in is $21,767 and in the lower end of the payscale the average is $19,999. I was only making 13,824. Now I feel like I have been ripped off. Working so hard, with little help and only maki...

    Caligurl replied to Marti Ann's topic in Safety

    I would not do this if it were passed. I plan on becoming a nurse in the near future and I just don't see how in the world, some of the people I work with are going to handle it! A lot of them are teens and early 20s and don't do half their job requi...

    Caligurl replied to Carotid's topic in Safety

    In the facility I worked in, I have been sick almost constantly since Nov 2003 and right now as well. I have never made it a habbit to call off just because I don't feel like going to work but I was written up recently because they decided to "crack ...

    Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback. :) I thought about going in and talking to the administrators of the ideas I have to change this field and to finally get things done but I don't know if they're willing to listen or even give these ideas a ...
