  1. *Easy* things I just hate doing

    fuzzywuzzy replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Nursing

    I hate doing vitals... it always takes longer than you think, and you have to waste time tracking people down because half of them are not in their room, and the equipment acts up constantly. Passing...

  2. I love working with dementia residents.....

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

    What are the residents like in the other units? Nearly all of our long term care peeps are

  3. pericare with brief changing?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to darci14's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We don't have wipes either. I work first shift and if I'm doing AM care I use soap and water and the rest of the day I use lotion and a dry towel. It's quicker, it uses less linens, and I think the...

  4. Working in a nasty nursing home

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

    Do we work at the same place, northernguy? I always wonder if it would be easier to work in a total hellhole than my place, because at least then no one would be up my butt all the time. We have...

  5. Staffing coordinator CNA?

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

    Is the pay any better? It doesn't sound bad, but I'd rather be a CNA. If I switched to an office job after doing full-time CNA work I'd fatten right up! And iff the pay is as bad as CNA then who...

  6. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    Oh you know what else I don't like? When someone needs help with something, and they run up and down the hallway yelling your name. Then when you drop what you're doing thinking it's an emergency or...

  7. Lazy Coworkers

    fuzzywuzzy replied to *4!#6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Most people I work with are not like that, but when someone who is tries to pull that on me I just give them the "go F yourself" look and say, "have fun" or "knock yourself

  8. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    We have the same thing. These people just call off as many times as they are allowed and then suddenly their immune systems improve dramatically when they are on the verge of getting

  9. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    Or be late, go home early, etc. We have one who calls off for the most BS reasons, and she can't even get her story straight. She'll tell one of us she had a tummy ache and another person that she...

  10. Lost, what should be the next step?

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

    You'll get there eventually. It may take a really long time, but you will. I can kind of relate- I had no idea what i wanted to do and didn't know what i was taking classes for, so I didn't take any...

  11. Do you take Ativan ?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I take Ativan every once in a while- every few months. Whoever listed hot chocolate as an alternative has probably never had a panic attack! When I get an anxiety attack I try and breathe through it...

  12. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    No, you're failing to grasp the extent of your male privilege. Either that, or you do understand, but you're determined to deny it so you're playing dumb. Either way I've wasted enough time arguing...

  13. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    If the charge nurse in question were not male, then he would not be treating the OP like a *male chauvinist* and we wouldn't have a thread. It's already been pointed out this if the guy wasn't such a...

  14. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Donald, you are the one who is wrapped up in the gender issue. You have totally dismissed his sexist behavior, and *that* is the real issue here. So yes, it's about gender, but not in the way you're...

  15. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Where are people getting the impression that she has a bias against male nurses? Why is "chauvinistic" always in quotation marks? There ARE chauvinistic men out there. Unless you're a woman who's...

  16. Failed the stupid CNA test again...for what???

    fuzzywuzzy replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    .....

  17. New GNA-need some input

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

    Stay at the LTC. It's temporary. And it pays more. And I'm sure that given the similarities between LTCs and ALFs, AND the fact that the ALF would mess up your sleep schedule, that you would be just...

  18. Done with Theory...

    fuzzywuzzy replied to weluv3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't worry about coming off too friendly. Some of the residents really like it, others prefer quiet people (like me ). As long as you're nice, it's fine. As for the smells- you get used to...

  19. CNA personalities ... revisited

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

    The Suppository: This person is always up your butt! You can't do anything for your residents when you work with this person because The Suppository badgers you for help with her people all day long...

  20. Whad I do -- Whad I do??

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

    Ummmm... yeah. lol. I'm sorry this happened to you; it sounds frustrating. But it doesn't seem that unusual-- a few people responded to a stressful situation by running their mouths and griping at...

  21. what kind of scope do you use on the job as a CNA

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

    If you mean stethoscope, it's whatever kind happens to be laying around in the near vicinity. No one has their own, they just grab one off a

  22. CNAS, what's it like at your nursing home/long term care facility?

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

    I agree that the laziest CNAs still work hard. But can you fault a CNA for pointing fingers when the fit hits the shan? One of the first things you learn is to CYA. And going to management under...

  23. Being called in too much?

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

    Yup, I say NO all the time and I don't feel guilty about it

  24. Stress management

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

    Honestly? I b*tch to my coworkers, and then I come home and I b*tch on allnurses! I know it's not professional to vent all the time, and not everyone I work with does it, but there's a pretty big...

  25. The life cycle of a CNA forum member

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

    hahaha! You nailed it with the nurse practitioner thing. Or CRNA- that's another one that "everyone" is going to
