  1. Ridiculous V/S...are you out of your mind?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she was standing on her head when she took the

  2. Anyone work with dementia patients?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to JDZ344's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A lot of times I end up walking away and doing something for somebody who actually wants the attention. Then when I come back, sometimes the person has calmed down. And sometimes you can just leave...

  3. Do I have to stop being reserved?

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

    ^I'm more outgoing on the job than I used to be. I used to just talk my way through whatever ADL I was doing and that's about it. Now I act goofy, make all sorts of stupid faces and gestures, and tell...

  4. Do I have to stop being reserved?

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

    I'm just like you and I don't really have a problem. As long as you're gentle and smile, people will be able to tell that you're just a naturally quiet person and not a jerk. And the patients are just...

  5. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    fuzzywuzzy replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

  6. I hate my job as a certified nursing assistant and want to quit after two weeks!

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

    I think I like the dementia unit the best because I'm so introverted. I get so exhausted having to act normal and be social with alert residents. With the demented ones, I can just be myself and say...

  7. Oh no she didn't!! :-o

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

    Uggh. I feel like we get the same BS where I work. Getting treated like we have the intelligence of 5 year olds and expected to take everything they dish out without question. They DO think that we're...

  8. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    This is a really long rant and I don't expect anyone to read the whole thing. But this is what this thread is for, right? I work REALLY hard. Every day, my people are washed properly. They're nicely...

  9. HARD career decision

    fuzzywuzzy replied to mar12011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It sounds like neither decision is "right" or "wrong;" just different. I often have to remind myself of that when I have to make decisions because I get stuck in this mentality where I feel like each...

  10. HARD career decision

    fuzzywuzzy replied to mar12011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I guess you just have to weigh all your different options and decide which ones are a priority... money, time, doing what you love, experience, etc. Do you consider going into IT 30 years ago a...

  11. Getting rid of sitters!?!?

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

    Wow, I can't imagine them going from sitters to restraints. That seems backwards. I work in LTC and we rarely care-plan for sitters. When we do, someone gets pulled off the floor and the rest of the...

  12. Problem with taking Blood pressure. grr.

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

    ... until you realize how slow the electronic ones are and how much faster it is if you do it

  13. Problem with taking Blood pressure. grr.

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

    I could never hear a thing in class, partly because it was noisy and mostly because the stethoscopes they gave us were lousy. Once I started working I was nervous about having to take manual BPs but...

  14. I hate my job as a certified nursing assistant and want to quit after two weeks!

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

    The job is always overwhelming at first. 2 weeks is not an adequate amount of time to give anything a chance, IMO. If you don't like it, then whatever. Most people wouldn't! I would at least stay...

  15. Does this job sound like a scam?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to check my email and accidentally typed in "ails.com" today. It brought me to this website, which reminded me of this thread. There's no danger in clicking on the site but basically it says...

  16. Activity Assistant??

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

    Take it! That's like a dream job! My friend did it for a while but the position was only temporary so she had to go back to being a CNA. She said it's the easiest and most fun job she's ever had. You...

  17. Angel at work, monster at home....help!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend comes home after I do but when he's off, he knows to stay out of my way when I get home. The TV needs to be off and he needs to stay out of my face or I'll be cranky. I don't even like...

  18. Passed State Exam today - Thank you Fuzzy!

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

    Cool! I'm glad my tip

  19. Getting over mistakes

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

    One time I hit a water fountain with a food truck and made a big crack down the middle of the wall. If I had been caught I surely would have been written

  20. Scrubs - what do you wear?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm about half-and-half as far as prints and solids go. My prints are pretty much all paisley or florals and they're the nice kind, IMO-- the kind that Barco makes (with the embroidery and interesting...

  21. Fired from first CNA job

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

    Maybe you rubbed somebody the wrong way. There's a lot of immature drama and clique-iness in nursing homes and usually the people that create this drama are the same people that suck up to...

  22. Walkthrough before shift

    fuzzywuzzy replied to CelesteR903's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've been on all sides of that issue before and it sucks no matter what. Yes, everyone should be accountable for their work, but there's no way of pushing for that accountability without offending...

  23. one sided weakness

    fuzzywuzzy replied to lstdq05's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A lot of time the weak side is either more sensitive, so you need to be more gentle with it, or it's less sensitive and then the person isn't able to feel pain if you're twisting or bending it the...

  24. Tough skin with a side order of a grain of salt please?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    ha! as soon as I started reading your post I thought to myself, "that must be why nurses originally wore all white." Just like a tampon

  25. Is this your last stop?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to peppapig123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yup. I am not interested in becoming a nurse but the crap pay that comes with being a CNA is not something I want to live with for the rest of my life. I've chosen another career that's still in...
