    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to rn4ever?'s topic in International Nursing

  14. Telling patients you're short-staffed

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's true, but at the sametime they're going to wonder why the CNA is always in such a hurry to do things. I'm not saying volunteer the information, but if they ask if we're short staffed I tell...

  17. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to Faro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to srdl91's topic in California Nursing
