4. CNA claims to be a nurse - what to do?

   MsLindaW replied to tinaroselpn's topic in Relations

   I'm just curious as to why your ex, the child's father, would ask you, the child's mother, to "confer" with his new girlfriend on the health/medical care of said child? Nurse or not, it's really none of her business unless she is part of the child's ...

6. Blood, Guts & Bodily Fluids?

   MsLindaW replied to Healthcare102's topic in General Nursing

   I've been a CCMA for 15 months, working with seniors and some hospice/palliative care. I can get past most of the bodily functions, but have a weak gag reflex when it comes to B/O and mucous sounds (that "wet squish"). I have to excuse myself to rega...

7. getting unwanted advice from non-nursing staff

   MsLindaW replied to onthemark's topic in Professionalism

   @ onthemark Thank you for posting this issue and your response to it. I found it extremely helpful. Personally I probably would NOT have responded so calmly in the private meeting with the PT. She definitely over stepped boundaries.

8. Oooh Ick! Has this happened to you?

   MsLindaW replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   Thanks for a proper wording lesson. I'm a CCMA who works in geriatrics (1 year) and some of the things the elderly come up with to talk about or ask your opinion on can indeed give one pause.

11. How do you work with a "know it all"?

    MsLindaW replied to MsLindaW's topic in Relations

    No, this person is not a Medical Assistant. They work as a Care Giver. When I asked about professional credentials I was told their "knowledge comes from work experience." We provide non-medical assistance for seniors in the home.

12. How do you work with a "know it all"?

    MsLindaW posted a topic in Relations

    I'm new to healthcare. I'm not a nurse, I'm a Clinical Medical Assistant and I love to learn. What I need/want to learn is how to professionally deal with a co-worker who "knows it all" because they've been in the field longer than you. A lot of the ...

13. Medical terminology according to patients

    MsLindaW replied to nursefrances's topic in Relations

    My personal favorite is "alltimers" or "oldtimers" (for alzheimer's)
