  1. How did your clinicals go?

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

    I feel like mine could have been more organized. We were all assigned a couple different residents but we had to stay with a classmate and each pair of classmates was assigned to follow 2 CNAs, who...

  2. Daily duties of CNAs?

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

    Daily routine- wash people up, dress them, get them out of bed, change sheets, serve breakfast trays, spoon feed people, collect dirty trays. Take everyone to the bathroom, change their Depends, clean...

  3. Anyone worked as CNA while pregnant?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to klynn81's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yup, I don't have kids but given that most CNAs are women of childbearing age, there's always someone who is pregnant. I'm not sure about the nausea because no one I've worked with has complained...

  4. PRN list is laughable

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

    I don't have that issue anymore. My time off is MY time off and I won't allow people to make me feel like a jerk just because I don't want to go in and be worked like a dog for an extra shift. The...

  5. # Hours for part time?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We are also disciplined if we don't take our 30 minute lunch breaks, and we have to be relatively on time

  6. Advice on what I should do.

    fuzzywuzzy replied to BabyGirlx3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How distressing. It sounds like this guy is trying to take what little control he has in the situation. Playing little mind games like sending you to look for items in the wrong place or dragging out...

  7. PRN list is laughable

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

    I agree with the others. PRN does not mean "on call, sitting by the phone

  8. First CNA Job

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

    Oh and I also didn't know the routine for things like vitals and snacks. Trainees really slow you down, so the person I was with never had time for any of that and someone else would always end up...

  9. First CNA Job

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

    You'll probably be following someone around without doing much yourself on the first day or two. And you'll probably go home and be like, "um what just happened?" There are so many people, the pace is...

  10. New CNA in ATL cant find job

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

    hmmm, that sucks because nursing homes are usually the easiest place to find a job, especially as a new CNA. Maybe you can find a private duty job taking care of someone. You wouldn't be working as a...

  11. # Hours for part time?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And like, what do you want us to tell you regarding your job duties? Because that's another thing you've posted about 20 times. You took the CNA class, right? And this is a CNA job? So whatever you...

  12. # Hours for part time?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you are the one who doesn't understand. You have tons of questions that none of us are capable of answering. Making thread after thread after thread asking the same questions over and over...

  13. CNA skills clinical

    fuzzywuzzy replied to LolaLo's topic in General Nursing

    That wasn't something we went over in class either because there are many different lifts and it's up to the facility to train you to use the ones they have. As far as I know, it's not on the list of...

  14. The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    Or what about these questions: "Hello. I've been working in the corporate world for the last 15 years, and I'm just not fulfilled anymore so I decided to become a nurse. Should I give up my 6-figure...

  15. The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    LOLing at "Ding Dong, Michigan." Hey yall I'm from Urinal Cake, Mississippi and I'm about to graduate my CNA program soon. How can I get hired at UC Hospital? Can someone put in a good word for me? I...

  16. Is this normal for hours?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If they said it's 15 hours a week, then I'm guessing that it's 15 HOURS A WEEK. Why would it be different once you start working the floor? And how on Earth are any of us supposed to know how your...

  17. working weekends only

    fuzzywuzzy replied to momof2prettygirls's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My place would love that. As it is, you have to work at least every OTHER weekend. Not working weekends at all is not an

  18. very irritated with my job!

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

    You gotta love that line. "Don't force them to do anything, but it still BETTER GET DONE OR

  19. Question about bidding and benefits?!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I looked at the first and second pages of this forum, and I see that you have made 10 separate threads in the last few days on here, mostly asking about trivial things or wanting us to make decisions...

  20. Question about bidding and benefits?!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    She was probably annoyed because you were being a pest, not because you had another job

  21. So tired after work.

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

    I know what you mean. I can't sit down after work if I want to get anything done because once I sit, that's it... I'm not getting up (except to go to the refrigerator about 15 times!). And actually...

  22. Mouth Care

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

    I don't get why so many people are dead set against mouth care. If I had the choice between not showering for a month and not brushing my teeth for a month I would choose to keep brushing my teeth....

  23. significant other dont understand how stressful cna work can b

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

    I disagree. Men need more pampering? Is this 1955? Her boyfriend is unsupportive- she feels like he doesn't listen to her or care about what she has to say. He gets after her to leave the job that's...

  24. ALWAYS called to work on days off?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, they give you a bad annual performance review if you don't put in extra days. I can't wait to see what my review says because I've only agreed to work extra maybe once all year. Lately...

  25. i want to die i failed my cna exam

    fuzzywuzzy replied to yajaira21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How did you fail radial pulse? Like what did you do- count wrong? Or could you not find it? I can imagine how mortifying it would be to fail, but people do all the time. You're not the only one. And...
