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

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

    Don't be so embarrassed. All new people make mistakes. I have a question- what do you do with your 20 people? Are they independent? Do they need assistance to go to the bathroom, or are you just...

  9. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    fuzzywuzzy replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I answered your call light and rinsed the poop out of your commode. Just because I did it with a smile on my face does not mean I was flirting with you! Your inappropriate behavior does not impress...

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

    Where I work, housekeeping does not mop daily, because I have seen the same drips of juice and coffee on the floor in people's rooms more than one day in a row. So if you're throwing dirty linen on...

  13. NICU Per-Diem or LTC Full-time????

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

    If NICU is your dream position then apply for the job. If you get it, and you're not getting as many hours as you need, then apply at an LTC and do both. Usually as a per diem employee you are...

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

    It sounds like you work in a hospital- I've never worked in one, but I can give you advice from my LTC/Rehab perspective. In rehab we pass out linens, refill the water pitchers, then do vitals, then...

    fuzzywuzzy replied to RN06-NP09's topic in Nursing Humor

    What about the "I didn't do it" game? Where they swear up and down that they didn't hit the button. Or you go in there and they pretend to be asleep. We used to have one lady who would do that all...

  19. Unrealistic

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

    No, it's not realistic. I would only change the gloves if they got poop smeared on them. I mean geez, how soiled is this linen? And in real life you the people you're rolling won't be as agile as...

  20. Do you feel that you were adequetely trained??

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

    Was this a new hire or a CNA student? Or do you work in one of those facilities that combines them? I got adequate training at my job- 2 weeks of following someone. As a student, my training...

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

    fuzzywuzzy replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

  24. I'm a student finishing my nursing pre-reqs--CNA program worth it?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to natd9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't tell you if you'll find work right away, since you seem to be having trouble finding other jobs now- maybe it's just tough in your area right now. But it's worth a shot. I wouldn't expect to...

  25. Scared to death of losing first CNA job

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