   kungfu_panda replied to marineswife0809's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   I agree with this 100%! It's already enough having to do ADL's for 8-10 residents! Why do CNAs have to do everyone else's

   kungfu_panda replied to azcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    kungfu_panda replied to Nurse wanna-be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
