  1. CNA "Homework"

    fuzzywuzzy replied to MissFuturecna87's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1. 2 years 2. $400 3. We work in pairs and each pair gets 16. Technically 8 of them are "mine" but in reality we just combine everything especially since most of the residents are assist of 2. 4....

  2. Did You Feel It?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually none of my residents seemed to give 2 figs about the holiday, and neither did I. Things usually, seem different on the major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving though. When i worked...

  3. Can You Live Off A CNA's Pay? Do you?

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

    That's what I want to do. NO LOANS. I've been going to community college on and off, which I can afford, and putting off applying to schools that charge the big bucks, but I'm going to have to...

  4. Interview on Tuesday!!! HELP!

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

    They're probably not going to test you on your skills :) but they might ask what you would do in certain situations with agitated residents (approach from the front, be calm and friendly, acknowledge...

  5. Can You Live Off A CNA's Pay? Do you?

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

    Everyone should make a living wage, no matter what the job, but in terms of "lowly" jobs, I think CNAs especially deserve more than we get. Look at how hard we work in nearly every sense of the word!...

  6. You know you are a CNA when....

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ham272's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When you're making an aioli, and it comes out too thin and you turn around to grab some thickener before realizing that you don't keep that stuff at

  7. What to do with CNAs that sleep during the night shift?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Plagueis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't know if our night shift staff sleeps but is it any better that they find other ways to waste time? I hate following certain CNAs when I come in for the morning because nobody is washed (the 2...

  8. Cell Phones

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

    So they are punishing everybody because of this one moron who took pics? How stupid. We are allowed to have ours in the facility so we can use them on breaks, but we can't carry them on the floor with...

  9. Can You Live Off A CNA's Pay? Do you?

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

    I don't have kids and I live with my boyfriend in a very cheap apartment (it's a dump), and my car is paid off, so I manage. There's no public transportation around here so when my car kicks the...

  10. Blindfolding: Is this an intervention or abuse?

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

    My nurse would never say "not a problem." If we said a resident was combative and refusing care she'd find some reason to blame us for it and if we didn't get her done, we'd get yelled at, but if we...

  11. At the end of my rope......

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

    Maybe place ads for caregiving services? If someone hires you to care for their parents or something, you can count that as

  12. Family Care Home

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

    I had a boss that was just like that- a total whack job that picked on me for every stupid little thing. I got fired. I was so upset at first, but I should have seen it coming. He'd had about 20...

  13. Family Care Home

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

    Yeah do that enough times and maybe he will fire you and then you can collect unemployment!

  14. Advice please

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

    I'm all for helping and working as a team, but you shouldn't have to do anyone's job for them especially if the only reason they're not doing it themselves is because they're lazy. I used to bend...

  15. Advice please

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

    Personally I would just ignore the whining and complaining, unless it gets really annoying. Then I would make a sarcastic remark like "O.M.G!!!! That is like, SOOO horrible!! You should quit." It's...

  16. "I'm on a break right now"

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

    It sounds like they're just saying they're "on break" when they don't want to deal with something- right? Because if they're on break you should not even be able to talk to them. They should be off...

  17. what should CNA's carry at all times?

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

    Wow. Some of you must have to carry hiking backpacks around with

  18. Newbie Needs Encouragement!!!

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

    You need more orientation. 2 days is not enough. In time you'll learn how to deal with combative residents. Some of them are like that with everyone, all the time, and you'll need 2 people for care....

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

    ^You can't just leave a bag of poo in the room trash can. It would smell. Anytime we throw something gross away, like a brief or poop or food, we have to immediately dump it in the big bins in the...

  21. CNAs! question about incontinence care etc.

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

    The work is so fast paced, it won't feel like you're changing your kids all day. I mean changing your kids is probably a chore you feel like you have to do constantly but it's different when you're at...

  22. Am I going to be in trouble, I accpted a gift

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

    I've had residents make me necklaces and stuff before. I would feel terrible saying I couldn't take something that they put so much effort

  23. CNA Commandments

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

    Thou shalt not mouth off about how cheap the facility is when the administrator is standing 20 feet away. Yes, that was me.

  25. Working with Opposite Sex

    fuzzywuzzy replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I prefer to work with girls. Actually I have only ever worked this job with one guy and he was just fine but in general I have always preferred working with girls in my past non-CNA jobs. I like my...
