Your best bet is going to be to ask your DON or Adm if they can have someone within your company (sister facility maybe?) to come for at least a week to train you. But I feel as above - I have been doing MDS & TILEs for 12 years and wow have things changed! It will take actual exp to learn and time. But it helps if you have someone for resource - someone close to you.

Hope it wasn't an MI !!! Patient may have been experiencing pressure not sob... Either why this attitude should not be tolerated. I work with a nurse whose has a "mouth" like this. I want to drag her out the front door or I should say kick her....

I feel you on this - I was a CNA for 12 years before getting tired of feeling that I could do a better job than the nurses that I worked with - so i went to Nursing school... I have been a nurse now for 15 years ! And now i know it's not about the CNAs or the nurses it is the person. There are sorry nurse's, CMAs, and CNA's out here and it all comes down to if you really love working with the elderly and disabled ie then you will make a good LTC nurse, CNA, CMA - if not go flip burgers. And I know it has been said many times before but the nurse aides are the back bone of the Long Term Care facilities. CM
