I'm still considered a new cna. I've only been doing this for a little over a year. I got hurt 2 times in one year. the second time was actually another aid's fault, but my don actually said to me...

this story made me e-mail my mother and tell her that we need to sit down and fill out the necessary paper work to make sure that she doesn't end up like my residents. i'm going to make sure that she...

we had a cna who was going into the med room and stealing the narcs and they finally made up a reason to fire them because they couldn't prove that it was that aide.

if the pt is ambulatory then leave their shoes on. if they're non- ambulatory then it doesn't doesn't really matter, but you have to be consistent. same thing every week,

i asked at the ltc that i work at and they had to find the shoes first before they could give me an answer on whether or not i could wear them at work. i was told no, they don't offer adequate...

my friend and i both bought the dr. scholl's inserts, i love mine and she hates hers. i think the kind of shoes you wear also make a difference. i wear mine in a pair of new balance's and she wears a...

hahahahahahahaha. that's awesome, and what makes it even funnier is i'm taking a break from my lego star wars where i'm beating on darth vader. that is just to funny.

don't give up. I had no interest in ltc care either. I much prefer assisted living. Those are the only two that i have experiance in. But once you finish the training course, you'll be able to find...

I just took the final in my cna class and you have to pass the class final in order to take the state exam. so I haven't taken the state exam yet, but I got a 98 on my final. so I am so ready to take...

when i go to clinicals i take hand sanitizer, chapstick, an extra hair tie, extra scrubs and socks, and the obvious things found in a females purse. but i never take my ipod or money. lol. I don't...

oh geez. lol on my second day of clinicals, we went into a pt's room and she was the meanest person you could ever meet. the cna that i was working with went into her bathroom to get her meds for the...

truthfully, i haven't even gotten out of training yet, so i have no clue about actually working as a cna, but i have worked in some very toxic environments, so i do know a little about that. I'd say...

I was going through the medical help wanted ads and the local Unemployment offices job listings and I saw 1 want add for medical assistants, but there were over 40 for cna's. Just cna's not lpn's or...

oh i would never find someone else to do something that would take me a few minutes to do. That's just a dumb thing to do. LIke i said, if that's what i have to do, then that's what i do. I'm no...

I'm a little worried now. lol. I have little to no interest in wiping butts or in peri care. Don't get me wrong. Because it is part of the job I will do it to the best i possibly can. But I'd rather...

wow all of you guys that say that you get paid 8 something an hour, that's just a total rip off. From what i've been told in MA they have to pay you at least 10 an hour. Don't take my word for it...

I'm not a can yet I'm just in training right now, but my pet peeve of the week is when we've taken a quiz or in this case we just took our midterm and had gotten back the grades. i got a 100 on it...

I don't know where you live, but in MA, you can actually take a job while you're still in the class, but you have to pass the class in order to take the state exam and you have to pass the exam in...

What works for you might not work for everyone else. In my area, i don't remember ever seeing any hiring ads for MA's, but there are tons for CNAs, LPNs, and RNs. I'd rather invest my time and money...

thank you for your story. I'm in a nurse's aide training class right now and they told us to always us a gait belt when ambulating a resident, and your story reminded me that just because it's what...

i don't know you, but thank you for your kind words. I took my midterm in my cna training class today, and i got a 100 on it. And every quiz we've taken, I've just made sure that i studied and did my...

call the red cross in your area. they aren't cheap, but they might know of any agencies that can pay the class fee for you. that's how i'm taking it.

i start my cna training in two weeks and I'm absolutely terrified. I was a horrible student in college and I'm scared that I'm not going to pass this class and the state exam. my friends who have...

i don't know if people get fired in the nursing industry for facebook comments, but my mom had an assistant who flipped out on her and put in her two weeks, then later that day my mom got a phone...

I'm trying to get in to a cna training program. I took the red cross entrance exam, but i'm also going to go the the local job bank because they help you with career training. But i'm scared. I'm...
