1. Just need to put this out there. (venting)

   AtomicxKitten replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in CNA/MA

   Actually she doesn't have to stand at all. She's allowed to sit on her butt and do nothing most of the time even when we are in clinicals. The rest of us do her work load while she literally sits and does nothing. She could have waited til she had he...

   AtomicxKitten replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in CNA/MA

   It's the fact that she acts like a total B AND has an awful attitude ALL THE TIME that makes me question her motherly abilities. Plus, I thought expecting mothers talked to their stomachs at least a little bit. I wouldn't know I don't have any kids. ...

   That's what i'm afraid of... we were talking about neonates in class the week before vacation and our instructor asked this girl if she ever talked to her baby. And the girl said "No." I was thinking to myself... "You don't talk to your baby...? Wow....

4. Any tips for a newly certified CNA? :)

   AtomicxKitten replied to jennafurmartin's topic in CNA/MA

   Normally hospitals want you to have 6 months to a year of experience. You MIGHT have to start out in a LTC to get the experience you desperately need. I also want to work in a hospital but I don't have the experience I need either and most want you t...

   AtomicxKitten replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in CNA/MA

   Please understand, It doesn't bother me as much that she was rude with me except for the fact that usually when someone is consistently rude and immature to you on a daily basis, they will act like that toward patients and I DO NOT want a poor imag...

   For anyone who is deciding on becoming a CNA.. PLEASE do not go into a CNA class with a horrible attitude especially during clinicals. We have a girl in our class right now, she is 8 months pregnant so our instructor takes pity on her and she gets aw...

7. Is it harder as a CNA in a LTC or Hospital?

   AtomicxKitten posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Just want peoples opinions. :) I want to keep my options open as i'm not sure yet what I want to do once I finish my training.

8. Had a horrible day in clinicals :(

   AtomicxKitten replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in CNA/MA

   That's a really good idea. They have essential oils at this shop I know of for about $7 they could fit the front pocket of my scrubs. I might try that because Vicks just isn't doing the trick for me unless I literally shove it up my nose and I really...

   AtomicxKitten replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks guys. I'm glad that I have a website to go to in times like this where I can get some good advice. :) I really want to get my associates in Nursing but was a bit nervous when my instructor told me that they really want you to be fast paced in ...

    AtomicxKitten replied to AtomicxKitten's topic in CNA/MA

    Thank you all for the wonderful advice. It's nice to know that i'm not the only one who was nervous their first time as most of my classmates have already had lots of experience with CNA work so they pretty much know what they're doing and how to ...

    AtomicxKitten posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Had a really stressful day today... Picking up the pace when you have to get several patients up, bathed/showered, dressed, toileted, and ready at a certain time and doing that all within 10-20 minutes is really difficult. While being told that y...

    AtomicxKitten replied to KinkyKurlyRN's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I wouldn't order anything from them ever again. Their size chart is completely wrong. Ordered Unisex pants 5x they were way too big. Went and ordered Ladies 3X and those were too small. Size chart said the pants I ordered went by the Unisex size char...

13. Looking for A CNA program

    AtomicxKitten replied to eodwife96's topic in CNA/MA

    The best way to get your CNA training would be through a local Adult Education program. I wouldn't recommend doing it online because you need the clinical hours and the only way to get those is if you train in a local retirement home or hospital. Tha...

14. How long will my CNA program take?

    AtomicxKitten replied to destin-marie's topic in CNA/MA

    I'm currently starting CNA training in Maine and mine lasts from November 4th til January 17th. It depends on your state though. Every state is different with their requirements on how many hours of classroom/clinical you need to get your CNA certifi...
