  1. WHY ARE NURSES SO RUDE to CNA's?

    Miwila replied to nurse2be123's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe its because of my age but I just don't feel the rudeness anymore. If some nurse wants to act that way to me that is his or her trip...as Judge Judy says - sticks and stones. I actually enjoy...

  2. Forced to stay at work...?

    Miwila replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That is all well and good but a parent whether single or married ought to have a back-up plan for those kinds of

  3. protecting yourself against complaints

    Miwila replied to am4182's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm a gay male so although I don't know how much that would protect me in a legal crisis I'm sure it would weigh on my side. It sure helped when a female colleague tried to make accusations. Of course...

  4. WHY ARE NURSES SO RUDE to CNA's?

    Miwila replied to nurse2be123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a CNA too and I always remind myself that for every rude nurse there are two who respect what you do. But then I kind of like when my superiors are rude and nasty to me because it makes me a...

  5. Forced to stay at work...?

    Miwila replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well then people ought to have an already established back-up sitter for situations like this. Having children is a personal choice and it is not the responsibilty of any employer to have to...

  6. Forced to stay at work...?

    Miwila replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To be fair to your DON I don't think her reaction was that unreasonable. How do you expect her to feel? It is not unusual for a healthcare facility to already be shortstaffed and overworked and she is...

  7. Docs yelling at nurses....

    Miwila replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm used to being yelled at, although usually not at work. But even at work I've almost come to like it. You know in the middle ages you had people who used to whip themselves because they felt...

  8. Online Cna Training?!?

    Miwila replied to gkbroaro's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is a big difference between a doctor, an RN, and a CNA getting their training online. Maybe if a CNA can pass the state exam no one will care that he or she got their training online but as an...

  9. some younger male nurses.....

    Miwila replied to junebride's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow...unless if you've spoken to every under 30 nurse you've worked with who tells you the reason they work night shift is because patients are sleeping, then that sounds like a sweeping...

  10. Male CNA

    Miwila replied to youngbrazee1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't feel "bad" about what I do, but I have to admit I do get some I guess you would call it elitist attitudes from doctors and nurses and other personnel I work with. But only some. You'll...

  11. Forced to stay at work...?

    Miwila replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I read posts like this and I wonder how some facilities manage to keep CNA's at all. You have a stronger stomach than I. I probably would have lost my temper. Don't yell at me. I don't get paid enough...

  12. Dealing with nurses childcare problems

    Miwila posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I recently had a run-in with a superior over my refusal to change my shift after two nurses refused it because they have children. I am heartily sick of being yanked around, called in and asked to...

  13. What's the difference!?!

    Miwila replied to Hopeful76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A PCT has to learn additional skills so how is the school legitmately going to train their students to become PCT's in the exact same amount of time as they are training students to become CNA's? Even...

  14. How often are you forced to work nights?

    Miwila replied to yerbluez's topic in General Nursing

    For the sake of irony working night shifts is one of the things most appealing to me about nursing. As previous posters have said, I find it to be more relaxing....working 7pm-7am your patients are...

  15. What's the difference!?!

    Miwila replied to Hopeful76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I might be in the minority but I say go for the PCT. A PCT is really a CNA who can do ekg and phleb and while hospitals train CNA's to do that stuff anyway, at least in my metro area it is almost...

  16. Does it get better???

    Miwila replied to NM nurse to be's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have a young friend about to enter a CNA program who reads this board and it causes her disquiet when she reads threads by new CNA's that seem to have the same theme...rude CNA's and nurses,...

  17. Forced to stay at work...?

    Miwila replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would have quit on the spot. I am a hardworking, conscientious worker. I am not some slacker with a bad attitude who acts as if I am doing my employer a favor by coming to work. On the other hand I...

  18. CNA program in S FL

    Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Florida Nursing

    Okay I know the question was for Bumblebee but until she answers I can tell you from my experience it is tough for a CNA with no experience to find work in a hospital, especially in a job market as...

  19. CNA program in S FL

    Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hear a lot of people referring Nurses Unlimited. I also believe National has a CNA course. National is supposed to be an excellent vocational school but I've never heard anyone talk about their CNA...

  21. Gay Nurses... help!

    Miwila replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Come to think of it I have met women like that as well. But I think this is a phenemenon more common to the male species than the

  22. CNA vs Medical Assistant

    Miwila replied to smellyacres's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It happens. I once took courses at a vocational school where MA students who failed every test still managed to make "D's" in their classes and move on to the next course. Why? Because as long as that...

  23. Overtime Question

    Miwila replied to Banjoeer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This rings a bell. I remember hearing about this nasty piece of business back in

  24. Second Thoughts?!?

    Miwila replied to AlexandrAnne's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would either try to settle in or look for a position at another healthcare facility. The problem with this job isn't necessarily you, it could be the way this facility is run. Also remember that...

  25. Gay Nurses... help!

    Miwila replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just as women are allegedly never entirely secure with their body image, men tend to be overly confident. I have a friend who runs an adult web site and if you could see the pictures he gets sent of...
