Sorry, I left out about making a bed! The things I do to make it easier for me: 1) Communicate with your patient so they always know what you're doing. 2) Encourage the patient to help you as much as possible if they can! Ask them to roll to the sid...

I'm in the same boat as you! This week is my 2nd week on the job, orienting with an experienced CNA. I was pretty overwhelmed my first 2 days...I noticed that some of the CNAs carry notebooks in their pockets with pt room numbers and list their notes...

I was thinking the same thing! I just had 2 pts with it the other night (one that had it in a gangrenous ulcer on their leg), and many of them have stinky pee. Vicks under your nose will work to diffuse smells. This would be a good job to get to OVER...

I recently acquired a "casual" position as a housekeeper/EVS associate, and worked in that dept for a month, to gain general hospital knowledge and get my foot in the door. I began applying for full-time CNA jobs and got an offer in my 1st interview...

Your story sounds very close to mine lol...I just finished up all pre-reqs and had been wanting a job to save up and put away for when I got into the RN program. I applied for 8 unit secretary jobs, 10 CNA jobs, 3 patient transport jobs, and 3 EVS(ho...

ENFJ....that is definitely me! What an interesting test. I am beginning the ADN program this fall, but my long term goal is to become a nurse practitioner, either PNP or FNP.
I thought of this the other day.... We actually know and understand the scientific reasoning behind a fart! LOL (after learning in MICRO that our gas released is a byproduct of the normal flora in our gut, after they metabolize the sugars we consume)
