1. FED UP CNAS!!!!

   jessesgirl13 replied to marineswife0809's topic in CNA/MA

   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 that "when you're off light duty, we're going to have...

2. The Patient I Failed

   jessesgirl13 replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Relations

   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 lives and dies the way she wants to. i can only be...

3. CNA Skills Exam Weighing without or with shoes

   jessesgirl13 replied to Marianne Mc's topic in Student Assist

   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,

4. Vibram 5 fingers shoes

   jessesgirl13 replied to sarahbellum's topic in Uniform/Gear

   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 protection from being run over or having things dropped o...

5. Dr Scholl's analysis thing at Walmart

   jessesgirl13 replied to Vtachy1's topic in Uniform/Gear

   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 pair of cheap shoes that she bought at walmart for...

6. Nursing myths. Stories that you know cannot be true

   jessesgirl13 replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

   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.

7. NOT FOR ME???

   jessesgirl13 replied to Dreamer74's topic in CNA/MA

   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 work elsewhere. Just keep working hard and doing wha...

8. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

   jessesgirl13 replied to jb2u's topic in CNA/MA

   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 the state exam.

9. What's in your CNA work bag?

   jessesgirl13 replied to Poi Dog's topic in CNA/MA

   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 want to "share" if you know what i mean.

10. Oh the wonderful smells

    jessesgirl13 replied to mikejjmay's topic in CNA/MA

    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 morning and found that the pt had decided to finge...

11. Stood my ground....

    jessesgirl13 replied to Poi Dog's topic in CNA/MA

    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 just do what you know is the right thing to do. and...

12. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

    jessesgirl13 replied to Faro's topic in CNA/MA

    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 rn's. just cna's. So your basis of thinking seems v...

13. CNA to RN

    jessesgirl13 replied to Sudiswa07's topic in CNA/MA

    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 better than anyone else and I will do my job to the abs...

14. CNA to RN

    jessesgirl13 replied to Sudiswa07's topic in CNA/MA

    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 not. But I want to be an ER nurse. and i know that ...

15. How soon do you start looking for a job

    jessesgirl13 replied to Restoration's topic in CNA/MA

    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 though. this is all still unknown to me. I'm just goin...
