  1. Changing a patient's diaper while they are standing ?

    mochabean replied to EmBeMap's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't see why it's wrong. If the patient is strong enough to stand, it makes it easier to clean him/her up and put a new brief on. And it's hard for 1 CNA to have 19 patients. That's TOO many...

  2. Death of a pt

    mochabean replied to LVN2010M's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did postmorteum care on a patient. All we did was wash the patient up, shave his face, comb his hair, and put a clean gown on him. Then a nurse came in and tied up his hands and feet with string....

  4. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    mochabean replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My instructor did a poor job explaining the endocrine system and the notes she provided were lacking. I've been studying my own notes and now I have a pretty good grasp of it. We're learning the...

  5. pre-nursing students with a Bachelors having trouble with getting loans?

    mochabean replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know other nursing assistants I'm working with are using tuition reimbursement to go to school. After you recieve it, you have to stay with the hospital for a year; if you leave early, it'll convert...

  6. is nursing shortage really exists?????

    mochabean replied to leesinos's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure about a shortage in my area, but I have heard of hiring freezes. ShiphrahPuah is right: it's important to get your foot in the door. I'm a nursing assistant and I was thinking about...

  7. New CNA

    mochabean replied to LoriJoCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is this one nursing assistant I work with who will only take care of her patients and she won't help the other NA's with their patients. There is NO teamwork going on when you work with her....

  10. What departments have high amounts of men?

    mochabean replied to RN student c/o '09's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 100%. Male nurses are laid back, they keep to themselves, they do their jobs, and they don't get all emotional and cliquey. They're more pleasant to work with. Don't get me started on...

  11. CCAC applicant

    mochabean replied to crok9014's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I've been calling the North campus to ask when acceptance letters come out. In the application it said April but I just wanted to call and check. So far all I've gotten is voicemail. I'm just keeping...

    mochabean replied to superramvette's topic in General Students

    You're right. This is your education and you have to take care of yourself first before you can help anyone

  14. Can you retire as a CNA?

    mochabean replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't. Nursing assistants in my area make too little. You have to work a lot of overtime just to live a financially comfortable life. It would also take a toll on your body if you do it for a...

  16. Remind me to never work as a Sitter 7p-7a AGAIN !

    mochabean replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind sitting in the daytime, but after 4 hours I become really restless. It helps to have a book, homework, or even a computer in the room. I avoid 7p-7a shifts as much as I can. I'm not a...

    mochabean replied to kalley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a good question. Last semester I had an really good A&P 1 instructor but decided to have a different instructor for A&P 2. This new instructor doesn't have a teaching style and provides...

    mochabean replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
