  1. When to answer other cna's call lights

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

    ^ What do you mean by that? Like letting you work with people who are well-liked, or something? I do way more than my fair share of work, and it's no secret. I even heard one of the nurses telling...

  2. Now or Never!

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

    good

  3. When is it OK to delegate to a CNA?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    How can she complain if she's sleeping? That's ridiculous. I can see getting momentarily annoyed about the "already in the room" thing if she was also busy and didn't know about the other patient, but...

  4. Private duty/home care

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

    Private duty home care is a cake job. I did it for a year. You can spend all day doting on one person, which is nice compared to the "okay quick lets wash your ass and haul you out of bed so I can...

  5. Whats Night shift (11pm-7am) like?

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

    That sounds horrible. I am a CNA because I WANT TO BE A CNA. If I wanted to be a housekeeper I would have applied for that job. That'll just be one more excuse to keep paying us like crap too while...

  6. All this talk about being a CNA makes me nervous

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Tricia76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You WON'T get it done on time... at first. And what's gonna happen is that people are going to be snotty about it and you're going to feel like an idiot. But after a while you'll get faster and...

  7. When to answer other cna's call lights

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

    I don't seem to encounter this as much on first shift, probably because there are things to do right up until the end of shift, but when I worked 3-11 there were always girls who would finish all...

  8. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If this was a thread for McDonald's employees or teachers or contractors do you think people wouldn't be on here griping about customers/students/clients? Sheesh. As I already pointed out, this is a...

  9. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And it's also considered normal on this website to mock people who come charging into vent threads on their high horse. Do you think your oh-so-insightful suggestion has never occurred to other...

  10. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is a vent thread. It is generally understood that threads considered as such are treated as safe spaces to let out our frustrations. No one is forcing you to agree with every post. In fact no...

  11. Oh the wonderful smells

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

    Eww. Chew with your mouth closed, I guess? On that note, don't breathe through your mouth either, gum or not. I think the poop that smells the worst (to me at least) comes from people who take iron....

  12. payroll Questions

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

    Where I work we're not allowed to punch in until 7 minutes before our shift starts (so it doesn't round up to 15 minutes and they don't have to pay us for it), and we're supposed to punch out within 7...

  13. PCT shift report paper

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

    ^That's what I was gonna

  14. How Do You Unwind?

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

    I thought crack was supposed to be cheap...? Hmmm who knows.

  15. Is it me or the nursing home/staff?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to jenny84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's not enough time to go by the book with everything. The more you lift, the better you should be at doing

  16. Head Lice

    fuzzywuzzy replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I think if I had lice I'd just shave my head and wear a wig for a while. I'd probably cry but having to comb and pick at each strand of hair every day for weeks would make me cry too. And then what...

  17. How Do You Unwind?

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

    lol yes, as a matter of fact I AM Whitney Houston, moonlighting as a

  18. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We have one resident who practically asks you to sodomize her with the showerhead, ooohing and ahhing the whole time. She wants it literally ON her orifice. It's like uhhhh no. Other people have to...

  19. How Do You Unwind?

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

    There's nothing like hitting the crack pipe when you walk through the door.... no better way to

  20. Bringing own supplies?

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

    You might, since there's no MDS sheet for that. Plus bringing them room to room is an infection control thing. If you just bought one pack for a specific person to be kept in their room that's fine...

  21. Bringing own supplies?

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

    In my facility if you need special gloves they provide them for you. You put them at the station or the linen cart of whatever, with your name on the box. And you carry a handful in your pocket. No...

  22. Bringing own supplies?

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

    Wow that's ridiculous. I've brought in conditioner, scented lotion, and lipstick before, but for specific residents. There's no way I'd be buying supplies for general use. And with the amount of...

  23. How Do You Unwind?

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

    Ditto! I'm still trying to work on this. Now that the weather is improving I've been taking the dogs out for a walk when I get home. But generally, I come home, sit down on the couch with the...

  24. How do you wear your hair for work?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ChasingRain's topic in General Nursing

    My hair is about down to my bra band now. I usually get it cut up to just over my shoulders but I've been thinking about going shorter. Now that I've read this thread I'm reconsidering. My hairline...

  25. Those that prefer to work with men

    fuzzywuzzy replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I like working with women... less sexist crap to listen to all
