  1. How do I deal with a rude coworker?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to CNA_NY's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, can you say passive-aggressive? How do the other CNAs deal with her? Is there anyone she does get along with, that you can learn from? Sometimes certain people have to get used to each other,...

  2. Am I right or wrong?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Vblub01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think 6 weeks is way too early to start a conflict. Supervisors never want to deal with that kind of stuff anyway, and if you start complaining this early in the game, you're going to come off as a...

  3. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    At my job no one is allowed to do it except the podiatrist. He doesn't come in often. People at my facility have some pretty gnarly toenails! I honestly don't know how I would clip most of them...

  4. first patient death as a CNA, still feeling weird

    fuzzywuzzy replied to lalopop86's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a CNA for 3 years and death still kinda blows my mind and makes me feel all these weird emotions, although it does get less intense with every exposure. The one that sticks out the most in...

  5. What have you found in your pockets at the end of your shift?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    I've nearly went home with a watch, and a pair of glasses. One time I actually did go home with a pair of granny

  6. Do you change twice?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to nowayis's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We're supposed to change people every 2 hours, which is 4x a shift. I change people between 3 and 6 times a shift, depending on how much they pee and how crazy/busy my shift is. But I work with girls...

  7. I can't believe this ****!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to vampcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The other day I witnessed a resident get injured during a transfer. It was the resident's own fault... the CNA was just following the care plan and did nothing wrong but the resident spun himself...

  8. New CNA feeling very depressed

    fuzzywuzzy replied to kris90's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    YES. I felt exactly like that for at least a month when I started my CNA job. I was stressed out and anxious even on my days off. I just felt like I was really bad at my job, that everyone hated me,...

  9. CNA's - What hours do you work?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to VagusX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ^Just like any other job, full time is 40 hours. In some places, 32 is considered full time but you still don't get overtime until pass 40. You do the

  10. Does your nursing home go crazy when the state's about to make its rounds??

    fuzzywuzzy replied to shix's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Once state leaves is when we start really getting yelled at for whatever they decided to pick at for that year. All these new policies get implemented. Oh and I love how office people are all over the...

  11. Does your nursing home go crazy when the state's about to make its rounds??

    fuzzywuzzy replied to shix's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Our facility is crazy all the time. There is no break from them worrying about the state because they want to get a perfect score. It's almost easier when the state is there though because they start...

  12. Coworkers that SLEEP on the job....arrrggghh!!!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ohhh well that would explain the "dead quiet"

  13. Coworkers that SLEEP on the job....arrrggghh!!!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    NOTHING to do?????? Nothing at

  14. Resume and cover letter too much?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to CNA1991's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got a job after 2 days, and I didn't attach a resume or cover letter. Is it really necessary when all that information is on the application anyway? CNA jobs are low-level positions and in my...

  15. CNA's - What hours do you work?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to VagusX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not really. Usually there is a shift differential but not much. People usually only work weekends because they are forced to because of facility policy, lol. Or they're busy with school during the...

  16. New CNA soon

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Jlsmithh's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The only thing you need for class is a pen. The only things you need for clinicals are a pen, scrubs (probably in a certain color scheme), and a wristwatch that you'll probably never use. Usually the...

  17. New CNA Orientation!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The pace is fast... expect to be a lot less thorough than in home health. You will be expected to take shortcuts. And your supplies will probably be lacking. There's not enough of anything to go...

  18. Diversity.. at what price?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Been there,done that's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Understanding accents can be very difficult. But you know what else is difficult to deal with? Lazy people. And dopey scatterbrains. And we all have to deal with them too. If the person with the...

  19. Introverts how do you get your downtime?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to artistnurse's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm an INFJ and I'm extremely introverted, but I also suffer from SAD and could never work nights without getting seriously depressed. I come home and I have to have complete quiet- no people around...

  20. CNA's - What hours do you work?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to VagusX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At my nursing home we have 8-hour shifts. 32 hours a week is considered full time, and everyone has to work at least every other weekend. If you call off on your weekend, you have to work your next...

  21. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    Speaking of people not wanting to do "extra" changes... if someone during our last rounds is farting a lot, I want to put them on the toilet. I don't care how incontinent a person is, chances are if...

  22. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    I know all about that. I don't appreciate the brown rings either but it bugs me when people ***** about "everyone" being wet when we get there in the morning (practically our whole unit is...

  23. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

    fuzzywuzzy replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Designers must be running out of things to be "inspired" by... especially since these look more than just inspired- they look like exact copies of actual scrub tops, just "styled" with regular...

  24. Personal calls received on work phone? What should I have done?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to starfishlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Where I used to work this guy called the store one night and wanted the personal phone number of a woman who worked 3rd shift. He claimed to be her brother. I must have been on the phone with him,...

  25. I can't take this nurse anymore!

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is long but I need to vent. If anyone has any advice feel free to share please! I'm a CNA and most of our residents eat lunch in the dining room every day. Usually as they finish eating someone...
