    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    fuzzywuzzy replied to jean36's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't the "LPNs not being nurses" thing some old belief? We have a resident at my LTC who used to be an LPN and I said something to her one day like, "well you already knew that because you were a...

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pca_85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

  9. Do pediatric vaccines still contain mercury?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Bridget41040's topic in General Nursing

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

  12. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to mirgadia05's topic in General Nursing

    I took offense to this as a CNA. I don't just wipes asses because I'm too stupid to do anything else. I find it funny that you failed out of pharmacy school but you still think you're much too...

  20. Is there a difference between bed rails and side rails?

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

    They're the same thing, as far as I know. There's a possibility they could be referring to different types of rails, but I don't think so. My coworkers and I all use those terms interchangeably, and...

  21. Does CNA training prepare you for nursing school?

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

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah and if you don't put your parents in a nursing home, then you will be the one wiping their butts. No one seems to have a problem with the gross stuff involved in caring for babies, and if they...
