what kind of scope do you use on the job as a CNA

[Chris NS]

hey you as a CNA what kind of scope do you use on the job?

[AnxiousStrawberry]

What do you mean by scope?

[yousoldtheworld]

I don't understand the question. What do you mean by scope?

[fuzzywuzzy, CNA]

If you mean stethoscope, it's whatever kind happens to be laying around in the near vicinity. No one has their own, they just grab one off a cart.

I use the disposible stethscopes. I have a stethoscope of my own that I use strictly for school.

"hey you as a CNA . . ."

Whatever OP is asking about, with this introduction, no serious response need be made.

As there is no serious question asked--what is OP talking about, anyway?--telescope, microscope, retrospectroscope--it would seem that there is no need to make any sort of considered response.

How can one make a considered response to an unintelligible question?

Perhaps if OP could phrase his/her question in something approaching standard English . . .

ok..............................

[Chris NS]

ok let me rephrase m question for other ppl yea " you as a CNA, what kind of scope(stehoscope) do you you on the job (did you buy one for CNA or just use others or whatever u ccan grab)

[yousoldtheworld]

The word scope can apply to many things, you can't blame people for being confused by your question.

As for the stethoscope, I've always just used the ones provided by my facility.

[Chris NS]

ok i give you that the question was unclear, but anyways would you think that always haVing your own stethoscope (even if its a cheap one) and if its not wouldnt the ambient nosiE bother some people; also you would have to look for a stethoscope everytime ur doing a b/p

[yousoldtheworld]

I have only had one job where I had to take vitals regularly, and we had machine we pushed around with us that had a stethoscope and thermometer with it.

Every other job I've ever had, vitals were taken by aides only occasionally, and I never had to hunt for one, the nurses always have stethoscopes and etc. on their cart.

But if you want to buy your own stethoscope, go right ahead...though I wouldn't spend a lot of money on an expensive one until you find out for sure that you'll actually be using it often where you work.

[fuzzywuzzy, CNA]

Our BP kits stay on a wheeled cart with a thermometer and O2 sat probe which also takes the pulse for you (it would be nice to have a watch on there too for respirations because half the rooms don't have clocks). The stethoscope rarely ever goes missing. I wouldn't bother to buy my own because then I'd have to keep track of it. It's hard to carry around a lot of stuff with you because CNA work is so active and your stuff gets banged around a lot. And cheap stethoscopes suck.
