  1. So impressed with the nursing assistants on our floor.

    fuzzywuzzy replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank you for posting this. It's nice to see a thread about good CNAs for a change, rather than the usual disclaimer about how "a good CNA is worth their weight in gold" followed by the...

  2. How do CNAs "shave" patients?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Green1972's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A lot of old people have barely any body hair left to begin with, but even those with a lot of pubic hair don't normally get shaved or

  3. CNA Commandments

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

    Do not just throw a new pad under someone who's been incontinent. Most of these girls have little kids at home- I wonder if that's how they change their babies' diapers... probably not. It won't...

  4. Does the school require you 2 pass the class tests & final exam?

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

    You have to pass

  5. What is a TYPICAL day as a CNA like?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to soon2Bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work 3-11 in a nursing home and it tends to be hectic. It's hard to describe a "typical" day because I work all the halls, and they're different. But usually I work with 3 other people, and then at...

  6. A Few Questions..(Starting CNA Classes in the Morning)

    fuzzywuzzy replied to soon2Bcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hold your horses. Your post only sat here for an hour. The class is easy. You'll have a lot of reading to do, as well as homework and tests, but it's very easy. All you'll need, especially for the...

  7. Sad day in the USA

    fuzzywuzzy replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    Are you serious? No one is trying to hasten the deaths of the elderly. I can't believe people have managed to equate advanced directives with murder. And yeah, forced sterilization is completely...

  8. Sad day in the USA

    fuzzywuzzy replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    If anyone has a "feeling of entitlement" right now, it's you! Look at the tone of your post and how you referred to basic human rights/needs in quotation marks. I'm guessing you HAVE health...

  9. First CNA interview tomorrow!! NEED ADVICE!

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

    I don't think you'll have much trouble getting hired pregnant. They're used to it. Where I work we only have 1 guy on 3-11 and 2 guys on 11-7. The rest of us are women, mostly of childbearing age--...

  10. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    I don't know about other places but at my facility the CNAs, laundry, and housekeeping all get the same crappy pay. We have no housekeeping on 3-11, so not only do we work with less staff, but we...

  11. Clothing issues/malfunctions.

    fuzzywuzzy replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in Nursing Humor

    Eep! I never wear underwear to work anymore so let's hope my pants never fall down! The reason i don't wear underwear is because something about wearing them with scrubs makes them ride up... and...

  12. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    We have one rehab hall, one hall with all long-term total care residents with combative or disruptive behaviors, and 2 halls that have a mix of everything. We have a couple old CNAs that only work...

  13. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    I was talking about other CNAs, not nurses. Where did I say I was talking about nurses? OUR paperwork does not take an hour, which is why I was complaining about people using it as an excuse to sit...

  14. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    Oh yeah, the girls I was talking about are the newest aides. They work on the same hall every day because they can barely handle their work on that one. Then they make their cocky little comments...

  15. Sad day in the USA

    fuzzywuzzy replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    It's annoying when people take advantage of the system, but it's more annoying hearing people whine and complain about how "their" money pays for it. It's tax money. It's not YOUR money. It goes...

  16. How to take blood pressure w/ Aneroid Monitor

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

    Yeah I think they're referring to the person's baseline. But they do teach a 2-step method where you pump up the cuff until you can't feel the pulse anymore. Then you deflate and do it again and pump...

  17. Anyone else feeling the effects of the recession at work?

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

    My place is starting to become stingier with the supplies, but that's about

  18. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    uggh, a lot of old people are completely obsessed with their bowels... way to feed into that! lol. I know what you mean about people getting pulled from your hall. There's one hall where I work...

  19. Nursing Resource Centers COULD these exist some day?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    It would be like if allnurses was a

  20. Hovering Family Members

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What do you do with them? We have one patient at my LTC who has a family member there 24-7... they come in shifts. They are ANXIOUS. They call each other constantly with "updates" like "Sarah just...

  21. Never seen anything quite like it (the things visitors do...)

    fuzzywuzzy replied to NurseKatie08's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand how the dog

  22. Hovering Family Members

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

    I don't know if the DON knows how crazy this particular family member is. They have one that stays there on days and one that stays evenings/nights. The day shift family member is there when we get...

  23. Hovering Family Members

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

    I AM refusing care from now on. Tonight was totally crazy. We didn't get this patient into bed as soon as the family wanted it and we didn't pick up her dinner tray fast enough. We had a very good...

  24. Hovering Family Members

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

    Last night instead of bringing the hoyer into the room I stood in the doorway with it, while my partner kept having to squeeze around this woman, who was to get things ready and ended up chasing her...

  25. CNA Commandments

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

    Thou shalt not run to thy break as soon as you put The Grouch on the bedpan... knowing she had milk of mag. Thou shalt not throw powder on a stinky crotch because you're too lazy to get a washcloth...
