  7. Working re-hab and burnout?

    One Flew Over replied to nurse2beme's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah, but I don't think she's talking about totals here, it sounds like they are just assists on the rehab floor who are not quite able to go home, and are waiting for a long term bed. I mean, they...

  9. The legalities of having a relative on your unit of employment?

    One Flew Over replied to CrystalClear75's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nope, I took care of my memere from admission to her passing this past summer. They didn't have any problems assigning me to her because they knew it would not interfere with my care of the other...

  10. Working re-hab and burnout?

    One Flew Over replied to nurse2beme's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why don't they split the long termers and independents, so you each have a half of each wing? But the ignoring call lights thing just has to stop, I mean they really have no excuse for

  11. Do you do ROM on your residents?

    One Flew Over replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  13. Do you do ROM on your residents?

    One Flew Over replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I do when I can find the time, but I make it a point to do it at least 5 days a week, even if I have to stay a little late and do it at the end of my shift. It's truly important, as an example.. I had...

  14. CNA's are supposed to use unsafe lift!!

    One Flew Over replied to Anise1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If the resident was anything like you described it most certainly was, and it sounds like the change took longer than it should have. Again, in order to be used safetly 'a stand-lift is meant for...

  15. CNA's are supposed to use unsafe lift!!

    One Flew Over replied to Anise1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What about using the pad/draw sheet to pull him towards you? That always seemed easier to me, especially for the rigid ones.. And do his clothes fit well? If not, maybe you could ask his family to buy...

  17. Studying...neck & back aches....

    One Flew Over replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    That's good advice right there :) Maybe even a change in position, do you have a reclining chair? You could just put your feet up and lean back while you

  18. CNA's are supposed to use unsafe lift!!

    One Flew Over replied to Anise1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But sadly, the bottom line is, the help needs to just be found.. Perhaps you could pair up with another aide to take care of their resident as well as yours? It's a sad situation that there never...

  19. Need help taking blood pressure

    One Flew Over replied to liladybug526's topic in General Students

    True! And a lot of times they don't even work, and you waste so much time waiting for them, only to have them give you error messages. They can be pretty

    Thanks for the advice! It's very appreciated :) I'm trying to get myself back in the school frame of mind. I'm starting to study French again and read with my free time!

    One Flew Over posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work as a CNA in LTC. I'll be switching my floor to work on the subacute unit in my facility very soon. I was wondering if any body had any tips or tricks to budget my time, keeping up with the...
