    noodlefrax replied to Ourdestinee2009's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks! That makes me feel better about

  2. Any CNA working at med/surg floor?

    noodlefrax replied to e71x's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was working med/surg prior to my move. We didn't just assist in ADLs, we had to do tons of vitals (not just q4s- post op vitals, blood transfusion vitals, etc) It can get crazy when you have 12...

  3. Getting a Nursing Degree in the UK? What should I know?

    noodlefrax replied to Ourdestinee2009's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks! I plan to do so as soon as possible. Just trying to cover all my bases here since you never know where life takes you! Is there any place that shares some specific info about the Common...

  4. Getting a Nursing Degree in the UK? What should I know?

    noodlefrax replied to Ourdestinee2009's topic in International Nursing

    Erm, let me clarify- I am not affiliated with the military anymore (was an army brat) I am in the UK for Settlement. My husband is from N. Ireland. My concerns is that if we decide in six years to...

    I am in a similar boat!! I came from Arizona to Northern Ireland and am not 100% on how I will go about finishing school yet, but I can offer you info from the education section of the Arizona State...

  6. Deeply saddened

    noodlefrax replied to recentlycertified's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I started off in LTC and met some of the BEST aides and nurses there. This facility in particular sounds like it has a collection of "rejects" for participating in such behavior and allowing it to go...

  7. Deeply saddened

    noodlefrax replied to recentlycertified's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow!! You need to have this reported. This sounds like a b um facility full of bum people! You'll find one anywhere and they all seem the same- a LTC full of reject nurses and aides who are in the...

  8. Think CNAs will pick up LPNs duties in hospitals?

    noodlefrax replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree! There's been a very wrong impression put out CNA's; many of us do a lot more than wipe butts! (in NO way am I downplaying the role of a LTC CNA by any means either- I used to be one) I'm...

  9. Think CNAs will pick up LPNs duties in hospitals?

    noodlefrax replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I suppose that would vary from state to state. In AZ a CNA isn't permitted to perform those duties listed above but a PCT is (as far as I have seen in AZ anyway) which is why the hospital I worked...

  10. Think CNAs will pick up LPNs duties in hospitals?

    noodlefrax replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wasn't about to read all 58 replies, but the hospital I worked for in AZ had very few LPNs and were looking to phase them out. They wanted the CNA's to become PCTs so they'd be able to do foleys,...

  11. CNA scope of practice

    noodlefrax replied to Futurenurse176's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Scope of Practice is a terminology used by state licensing boards for various professions that defines the procedures, actions, and processes that are permitted for the licensed individual. The scope...

  12. CNA scope of practice

    noodlefrax replied to Futurenurse176's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hopefully this reply isn't too late, but you should be able to find that info on the California State Nursing Board website or

  13. CNA scope of practice

    noodlefrax replied to Futurenurse176's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Is that not a PCT? In the hospital I worked in, only PCT's could do all of that. CNAs cannot. They were going to do a PCT program for us all to take so we could float to other units easily (I worked...

  14. Home Health to Assisted Living Facility? Need advice

    noodlefrax replied to Floridadreamer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They'll most likely hire you and train you, just be ready for a very different change of pace. It can't always be as personal as home health is, but everyone gets attached to some residents
