   I think I made a boo-boo...

   miabia replied to MeganNCA's topic in Student Assist

   Don't be offended by my question but as far as I know the CNA in my state cannot touch the oxygen unless its adjusting the cannula. A CNA in Nebraska would surely be investigated for adjusting the Liter Output for gross negligence. Just be careful. I...

   Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

   miabia replied to miabia's topic in CNA/MA

   I actually made the poll by the two ends of the spectrum I was only interested in. We, of course, can make a new on reflecting all ends where you can add your own reason why you're going into nursing

   Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

   miabia posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Im not judging but I've always been incredibly curious what the ratio of "I want to be a nurse because it's my life dream" vs "I want to be a nurse because I need the money" is. So my question to you is (Honestly) Are you in nursing for the money or...

    CNAs "making up" vitals.

    miabia replied to ctmed's topic in CNA/MA

    I'm an MA and I'm not even allowed to insert Caths or handle IV's! I can't even fathom why a CNA would be allowed near such a machine.

    CNAs "making up" vitals.

    miabia replied to ctmed's topic in CNA/MA

    We had this CNA that was going to school for his EMT. Not only was he on his 4th attempt of passing the EMT test but one day I came in to check his vitals and he had a patient at 209/130. I burst out laughing and asked if the patient was stroking out...

    Why I went into nursing?

    miabia replied to rlockd's topic in Burn
