   Tashbun replied to ravenpuff's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have an Avengers and a Batman one I bought at Walmart. I know some people don't prefer Walmart buy I bough a Hello Kitty top from them and it lasted years so I figured why not, the tops and pants are decent on a budget? I've also seen WonderWoman,...

   @meanmaryjean I understand that he BON doesn't accredit schools, I only meant that the program itself is approved. ok so this is what I've researched, if someone here is from SoCal please correct me if I am wrong. -if a school's PROGRAM itself is ...

   Tashbun replied to Tashbun's topic in General Nursing

   @KCMnurse the schools pass rates are good (my own research not what was put in front of me) also at least here in SoCal the places I have been employed (which are reputable) hire new grad from a lot of for profits schools. If you want to get somewhe...

   @wrench party the school I am aiming for is BON approved, just not wasc. There is an opportunity to trasnfer to a particular wasc school for bsn tho. @thecommuter no one has mentioned a required gpa but you do need to score a 62% on the TEAs V (and A...

8. Work rant

   Tashbun replied to hookyarnandblanket's topic in CNA/MA

   Is this a person of taller/more muscular stature? That's what I come across a lot.. "Oh the pt is a min assist". I get so mad. It's like no, that person can basically just pick the pt up and transfer and I'm not about to get myself hurt. Idk of this ...

9. How to protect a CNA's back

   Tashbun replied to EbonyWaltonEl's topic in CNA/MA

   If you're smaller then ask for help, even if this disgruntles other employees, if something happens to you and you didn't ask for help then the facility could make sure you assume fault. Make sure the bed is at a good height for both of you guys. Tre...

10. CNA questions! HELP!

    Tashbun replied to Carissa2929's topic in CNA/MA

    I'm not sure where you live but I've never seen a cna in a clinic setting, only MAs. cna work isn't all messy work, but it's a big part. Sitters def still have to do messy work, just for that pt solely. And I hope you don't take the pov of not helpin...

11. Assisted Fall: I'm Scared

    Tashbun replied to mndlng97's topic in CNA/MA

    I think you did the right thing by assisting the fall. If the pt was already at the sink it's unlikely that you could get the pt to a bench or the toilet. I'd be afraid to try and get the pt that far if the pt was already going down as the pt could g...

    Tashbun replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in CNA/MA

    -Also depending on some facilities licensure's you don't need to be certified cnas or pcts. That does vary to state to state. But as far as SoCal most group homes or assisted livings you don't need to be certified (I think this may be because most gr...

13. Are CNAs being phased out?

    Tashbun replied to g_majied CNA,PC's topic in CNA/MA

    -I've seen some hospitals try and phase out cnas bc on paper they look like a frivolous cost, but tbh they're super important for pt satisfaction scores (considering tele and med/surg unit nurses would have to do total care for 4-5 alone). -I've also...

    @tricaj I understand this. I am taking it with a grain of salt. But I had wanted to ask the question here to just see if anyone had any rejection stories and thought if I had mentioned it it would've broken the ice for some that were wavering on shar...
