   Congrats on your new job! From going from LTC to the hospital was a culture shock. It was weird seeing LPNs at the hospital I was at anyway, being my peer and not my supervisor. Hospital was busy, But I believe alot easier then LTC..IMO anyway

   Jen411 replied to cmm4ever's topic in CNA/MA

   Wow, that lady is very unprofessional and obviously doesnt know her information.. I would be highly p'd-o as well. Hopefully once you start that it would be as dysfunctional as the orientation. Just remember incase that lady tries saying you didnt sh...

8. Resigned From Long Term Care

   Jen411 replied to interceptinglight's topic in CNA/MA

   I don't blame you, These facility's preach about hostile working environments and verbal abuse and so forth... But they never practice what they preach. Pick and choose favorites is common unfortunately everywhere you go. There's a saying my old work...

9. Got Med/Surg position!

   Jen411 replied to Jen411's topic in CNA/MA

   My thoughts exactly. I explained this to her as well and she stated she "didnt think there would be any further problems". Easy to say that when your not actually on the floor working side by side with the girls. I noticed the other shifts dont have...

    Jen411 replied to klynn81's topic in CNA/MA

    It was my 3rd day of actually working on the floor. This women I worked with were in their 40's/late 40's maybe? It wasnt like I was working with 20 some year olds. I'm sure its not like this everywhere. But in the current situation at the hospital ...
