  1. Wearing masks

    fuzzywuzzy replied to CNAmonica65's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, I hate wearing masks for my isolation patients. I wouldn't put one on if I didn't have to! They don't really do much to combat the smell anyway. Smelling BM is part of the job. So is not...

  2. how many cna's plan to continue their education?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to jynxa17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    same

  3. Are all LTC jobs like this?

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

    Cattiness is part of the job, unfortunately. CNA work is fast-paced and stressful and you cannot work independently. I'm a sensitive person too, but I overcame a lot of the catty crap by getting good...

  4. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    well, i gotta say I never make up vitals, but as for the rest of it... yeah. It would be nice if we didn't have to do every little thing. Not having to worry about trashcans and laundry and beds....

  5. FED UP CNAS!!!!

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

    I'm sick of people: Our administrator and the DON. They're so fake. One of the charge nurses, who gets ****** off at every little thing and doesn't lift a finger to help (she's the same one who...

  6. Things That Burn Your ***

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Right now it's our snotty 3rd shift aides who yelled at me because during their 1st rounds one night a man's brief was dry and his pad was wet. They tried telling me that I just put a brief on him...

  7. clinicals start tuesday - need advice!

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

    Based on my clinical experience I would say: This is your opportunity to practice your skills, so get as much as you can. The CNAs you're shadowing have their own routine down and stopping to teach a...

  8. Things That Burn Your ***

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

    We got a new admit yesterday. I stood there during report and listened to the CNA who had him tell one of our most sourpuss 3rd shift aides everything about him, including his diagnosis. The same...

  9. Part time job while in school?

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

    Well rent and insurance and food and other bills aren't "free" either. Not everyone works through nursing school because they have nothing better to do and think it'll look good on a resume. Usually...

  10. I feel awful...

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

    Don't beat yourself up. You caught it early, so that's good. He could have gotten it from anywhere, like the McDonald's playplace or something! You don't know for sure that YOU brought it home to...

  11. Highschool and CNA?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to TaraRae123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I thought you had to be 18 to be a CNA. And already have a high school

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

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

    One thing I really wanted to say tonight was, "What's wrong with you? I'm TRYING to HELP YOU. Why are you mumbling and evading my questions? If you haven't charted anything yet, and you won't tell me...

  13. Things That Burn Your ***

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

    I can't stand that!!! It bothers me so much when families act snotty or disrespectful to the roommate. I just want to smack

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

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

    Yeah I know, but it was just completely ridiculous. The reason I didn't set up the tray when I brought it in was because she was starting her assessment (or I thought she was), and if you interrupt...

  15. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah. I think it simply comes down to differences in personality. Some people are just not as extroverted as other people. There's nothing wrong with being shy and quiet, but if you listen to some...

  16. Part time job while in school?

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

    Don't put any of that on your application. Just let them know you're in nursing school, check off part time and everything for availability and work it out after you get an interview/offer. As long...

  17. Things That Burn Your ***

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

    Oh yes I love that. You don't bend over upside down and backwards to accommodate their every ridiculous whim (because you have 10 other people to take care of too), and they tell you that you have to...

  18. Turned Down and My Position Given to a "Me Speaka No"

    fuzzywuzzy replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    If you were never hired in the first place then it wasn't YOUR position to be "taken away." You have no idea why they actually didn't hire

  19. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is "she was quiet and didn't smile" really worthy of a vent thread? Some family members have a particular way of staring at you when you come into a room that makes you really uncomfortable, like...

  20. CNA interview questions

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

    I'm curious too. I don't remember many specifics from my interview (the DON did most of the talking and it was to explain things about funding and how the NH is run), but she did ask me what I'd do...

  21. What do you think about universal workers in LTC?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Moogie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    whaaat? how can that be?

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

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

    You're honestly calling me back into the room to set up this new admit's meal tray because according to you, you "don't know how?????" You mean to tell me that you never learned how to do that in...

  23. Myers-Briggs Profile Typing and Nursing

    fuzzywuzzy replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Nursing

    wow... lots of Intuitive people on this

  24. Myers-Briggs Profile Typing and Nursing

    fuzzywuzzy replied to metal_m0nk's topic in General Nursing

    INFJ I plan on going into occupational therapy, not nursing, although I was thinking of using nursing as a stepping stone to that. I'm not sure about that though. I love being a CNA but I think I'm...

  25. Can STNA's insert catheters?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Cparker05's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do you work for a home health agency or as a private
