   mvm2 replied to hookyarnandblanket's topic in CNA/MA

   When your CNA sences are on high alert when you see a elderly person in the grocery store and you think what do I have to do help them. You feel you need to be right there and walk next to them to try to catch them if they fall. (Where is that gait b...

4. If I am getting CNA training through an LTC I am working for, would it look bad to leave?

   mvm2 replied to natswe23's topic in General Nursing

   As long as you did not sign any paperwork that requires you to work X amount of time after getting the certification you are under no obligation legally to have to work for them. Though I do agree that it looks alittle shady to jump to another job as...

5. Are ER Patients Getting More Ridiculous?

   mvm2 replied to us2uk4u's topic in Emergency

   The one I actually did myself was bring my few day old baby to the er with me and my husband when I was the patient. I had a C-Section and one night started to bleed what seemed like a pretty good amount of fresh blood and I was starting to feel funn...

   No house keeping is not on state boards because it is set up mainly for those that work in a ltc setting. However we CNAs that work home care are in a more unique setting. We provide a service were people can get personal one on one care that they n...

7. Failed NCLEX, should I become a CNA?

   mvm2 replied to stephjane's topic in General Nursing

   As a graduating nursing student you should be able to take the CNA States test without taking the class. If you want to work as a CNA for a little bit till you pass the NCLEX it might not be a bad idea if you need the money to start to pay off the lo...

   Is there somewhere in the field of teaching that you could love and still use your teaching degree. What about being a tutor either private or working at a place like Sullivan. There are a lot of online programs as well that might be looking for qua...

9. Quit being a CNA

   mvm2 replied to DearDylan's topic in CNA/MA

   I'd say it can all depend on what about CNA work you did not like. Being a nurse can be totally different then being a CNA. But if you dont like the health care environment then nursing might not be for you. I think shadowing a nurse would be a great...

    mvm2 replied to jarae's topic in CNA/MA

    Yes what you are describing can be true. But our agency has a minimum 2hr visits. We don't go to 7 homes in a day.

11. I'm the worst CNA they ever had

    mvm2 replied to jarae's topic in CNA/MA

    Being in home care can be difficult. You will have clients that you will love like your own grandparents and then there will be clients that you want to just hide under you covers when the morning comes and wish it was the next day so you will not ha...

12. Who's Paying????

    mvm2 replied to earoper's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they are already in nursing school and they are studying a unit about IVs right now. I agree that I don't understand the obsession over IVs if you are only a pre nursing student

13. Special Snowflake!

    mvm2 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    But...but...but there are so many people out there that need to know about how special of a snowflake they truly are. Isn't it our duty to make sure they know this about themselves.

15. CNA online class?

    mvm2 replied to gabz42's topic in CNA/MA

    100% online class.....nope you won't find it. Like PP said you have to do clinical somewhere. Its probably a place that the class has access to. My class was able to go to the local VETS home. It was a great experience.
