  3. CNA - HHA same thing?

    Absolutely13 replied to coltsgrl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wish they had that system in Florida. Here, HHA's are agency trained and have no central registry. Scary, Huh! The client is at the mercy of how well an agency train's their people. My CNA program...

  4. CNA - HHA same thing?

    Absolutely13 replied to coltsgrl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Let me give this a try. I can only vouch for the state (Florida) I work in. CNA's are certified by the board of nursing, HHA's are not. A CNA can be employed as a HHA, but not the other way around. I...

  5. Overall CNA Advice on classes, job apps, etc.

    Absolutely13 replied to BillyMan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You thinking is sound, Billy. How would you be able to supervise CNA's as an RN without knowing how long things generally take? Also, I have learned what type of RN *I DO NOT* want to become. Most of...

  6. New CNA feeling pretty fed up.

  8. What are some US cities where you do NOT need a car at all to live / work?

    Absolutely13 replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Boston is a good choice with Harvard Medical School running many hospitals. Great for the resume. Winters last 6 months

  9. Has anyone taking AP I and AP II in same semester

    Absolutely13 replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P I is a prereq for A&P II so, in my state, this is impossible. My advice, give yourself a chance to retain some learning. 2 years from now, all will seem like a blur. You want to be good...

  10. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    Absolutely13 replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    This has been a jaw dropping thread. I'm embarressed for my fellow CNA's who obviously do not aspire to become anything more. This is sad on a number of levels. Making up vitals?? Are you kidding me?...

  11. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    Absolutely13 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard this comment enough times to realize it's going to happen from time. As a male, I took it as the person was confiding in me and that's how I handle it. Something to the effect "Don't be so...

    Absolutely13 replied to Jason2311's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Jason, I was an ED volunteer at a local medical center and that facility had a strict policy that volunteers were to never physically touch patients under any circumstances. As far as...
