  1. Should I start off as CNA or Medical Assitant.. need advice!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, apparently the pay isn't that great (especially considering the high cost of the program) and jobs are harder to find. At least, that's what I gather from a number of threads on allnurses and what...

  2. Should I start off as CNA or Medical Assitant.. need advice!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CNA,

  3. see thru scrubs

    fuzzywuzzy replied to sparky99's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Barco makes thick scrubs sometimes. And wearing nude undies instead of white really does make a huge

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

    fuzzywuzzy replied to NurseKatie08's topic in General Nursing

    I just posted in the CNA forum about a family member of a TBI patient who is very anxious and constantly hovering over us. You'd think the private room her family member occupies is a war zone or...

  5. Hovering Family Members

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

    Oh and they also take every opportunity they can to "educate" us on pretty much everything, including but not limited to basic nursing care that we do with everyone every day, our facility's P&P,...

  6. Dehydration headaches

    fuzzywuzzy replied to RITA2007's topic in General Nursing

    I got one of these the other night. By the time I came home I was almost throwing up. If I didn't think everyone would make fun of me mercilessly for it, I'd get myself one of those Camel-Paks (or...

  7. I dont handle lazy aides well

    fuzzywuzzy replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    The aide you described sounds awful. But if you're having a problem with all of them, then maybe it's your approach. In your other thread (the one someone linked here), it seems like you didn't give...

  8. Should Staff At Nursing Homes Be Banned From Having Cell Phones With Cameras?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to chase4myheart's topic in General Nursing

    That's over the top. And most people would sneak their phones in anyway. Do you honestly think a whole lot of people want to take pictures like that? And that taking away their phones solves the...

  9. Interview!! What to do?!?!?! help

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

    Where is this "will work for less money" stuff coming from lately? Do not offer to work for less money. You don't get a whole lot of money to begin with, and you'll be working just as hard as your...

  10. 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

  11. Survey: How do you get a life outside of work?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to neonatal_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget to go to a mandatory inservice. Because then you'll have to come in on your day off to make it up, instead of going to the beach like you wanted to! :vlin:

  12. new job questions,...... help please :)

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cassy123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm really surprised they didn't interview you. That's weird... Orientation usually consists of watching a TON of videos and taking quizzes on them. You'll also have to fill out a lot of paperwork...

  13. Would offering to work for less money really help a newbie CNA find his/her first job

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

    omg please don't do

  14. Wondering why I did this

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

    Every workplace has its own bullcrap, healthcare or not. It's really not that

  15. You know you've been working too much when...

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

    Oh yeah I do that all the time. And I say "one two three" for everything. I also think I'm seeing or hearing call bells if I'm tired and have been working a

  16. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 115 lbs and I won't move someone more than

  17. What to put on resume?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Jillian01520's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yeah, I wouldn't write about your clinical experience and what you did. That's cheesy, and they already expect you to know how to do all the ADLs- that was the whole point of taking a class to get...

  18. How do you discuss your availability?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to SnowRain7489's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Tell them that you're available on those days, but would prefer not to work all 3 every week, and that you're open to either working the same day every week or to change it up. It wouldn't hurt to...

  19. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    Yeah, I actually really enjoy my job. Oh but one thing that really aggravates me is when they have the schedule out, someone always calls off, and what hall that I'm working on always ends up losing a...

  20. Things You'd Like To Tell Visitors . . . . and get away with it

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I know, I know. I know all about everything that you're telling me. It's very, very basic stuff. You know how I know? I WORK HERE. So you didn't need to explain to me what it means to...

  21. Gift for Nursing Home Resident

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Penguin67's topic in General Nursing

    All these suggestions are good, but you should ask and make sure she actually could use them. I've seen some ladies who have like 5 pairs of slippers, for instance, and they only ever wear their...

  22. Tossing Your Cookies...

    fuzzywuzzy replied to JasmDasm's topic in General Nursing

    None of this stuff bothers me... in a human. However, if you take the poop, pee, puke, or whatever else and say it came from an animal... BLECH! I can't deal with it. And I love animals and have...

  23. What to put on resume?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Jillian01520's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't even use a resume,

  24. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    We have CNAs that are really good. Then there are a bunch that are lazy and a few more who are so inept they can't even finish their assignment without being "rescued" by someone else. Not to toot...

  25. I cant makeup my mind

    fuzzywuzzy replied to cooly's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you stay a CNA you still have to do postmortem care. And when you do that, you don't have to do it alone. Not sure if this is just policy where I work or everywhere, but it's always done by...
