1. CNA working in hospital Questions!

   baby bluz replied to cheizy's topic in CNA/MA

   I agree with what Rancelumsden said about skills required and the skills you will learn. I did a year of LTC before getting in at the hospital. I liked some things about LTC, but it was definitely a lot harder on my body. If you aren't sure about ...

3. Getting hired as an Acute Care Nurse Assistant

   baby bluz replied to seek1kees's topic in CNA/MA

   I got hired in acute care at the local hospital after 10 months of experience in long-term care. I applied on-line, but then followed up a month or so later by stopping in at the personnel office, dressed professionally, hand-carrying in my resume. T...

   baby bluz posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I have been a CNA for 1 year. I have worked in a long term care facility and just this month got a job at our local hospital. I was so thrilled to be hired there. I am still happy I got the job, but I'm having quite a bit of trouble handling it. It'...

6. What do hospitals look for in CNA applicants?

   baby bluz replied to CNAinNeb's topic in CNA/MA

   alisant: I did the same thing! I applied on-line. When I didn't hear for about a month, I went into the HR office. They wouldn't accept my resume there, but they must have called to let the Dept. know I had stopped in. I got a call and an intervi...

7. Wedding rings?

   baby bluz replied to NoviceRN10's topic in General Students

   I know this a little off topic, but do you all get concerned about germs around your watch? I bought a cheapo timex that has a velcro band, so I handwash it whenever I know it has gotten soiled at work. It's not at all an attractive watch, but I fe...

8. Wedding rings?

   baby bluz replied to NoviceRN10's topic in General Students

   I wear a white gold plain band, and it is perfectly good for work. Most seem to prefer to wear their engagement sets. I can't do it, because once I had a scare. I felt like my ring caught on the back of a man's leg, right through the glove. The t...

9. Need Advice! Should I Take This New Job?

   baby bluz replied to APC53's topic in CNA/MA

   Hi! That's a tough one. I can see where it's hard to choose, but maybe you could keep your hand in at the facility you are at now, and just ask them if you can work for them on a prn basis. Then you could try out the new place and still pick up sh...

10. no new admits after State Inspection

    baby bluz replied to baby bluz's topic in CNA/MA

    Hi All, Thanks for your advice. I have started putting in applications at one place each day. I'll start classes on Tuesday, so I'll have less time for job hunting, but hopefully something will pan out soon. There's no word (yet) of any new owner...

11. no new admits after State Inspection

    baby bluz posted a topic in CNA/MA

    Hi All, The LTC facility where I work was sited with 4 G-tags by state. Although they reinspected 60 days later, we still failed those 4 things. It sounds as though we will no longer be allowed new admits. So as our resident population moves away or ...

12. Can they do anything to me?

    baby bluz replied to christian51's topic in CNA/MA

    Hi, I read your post, and I could really identify with you. I have had my CNA license for 4 months now. My first job is in a LTC facility, 2pm - 10pm shift, and I frequently care for 19 patients. I find it overwhelming, and after reading some of ...
