    Anxiousandafraid replied to Anxiousandafraid's topic in General Nursing

    Anxiousandafraid posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Anxiousandafraid replied to Anxiousandafraid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Anxiousandafraid replied to Anxiousandafraid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  14. I don’t report everything as a CNA … is it okay to let my nurse assess

    Anxiousandafraid replied to Anxiousandafraid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the nurse “roused” then is not a form of manipulating the numbers ? I’ve even decided to not take respirations while the patient is sleeping and wait until they’re awake. Still sometimes...

    Anxiousandafraid posted a topic in General Nursing

  19. CNA Charting What Nurse Tells Her

    Anxiousandafraid replied to Anxiousandafraid's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you. Sometimes I overthink. Like I can be in mid breath or the patient rather then I’ll be stuck with “what number is it really ? “ or the patient will move a little and I lose count. But...

    Anxiousandafraid posted a topic in General Nursing
