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

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

    He just needs to get over himself. He's not even done with his "12-month LPN program :bowingpur " and he already thinks he's so much better than a CNA. Not to bust on LPNs, of course, but this guy's...

  2. Looking for Pointers from Current CNAs

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

    Really? I've been pinched, scratched, slapped, punched, kicked, spit on, bitten, verbally attacked, had my hair pulled, my clothes pulled, my arms twisted, the shower sprayer turned on me, and things...

  3. Things That Burn Your ***

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

    Yeah we also get yelled at if the residents' rooms aren't arranged the way 3rd shift likes. ie Some like the bedside table at the foot of the bed, some like it on the side, etc. It's like, so fix it...

  4. getting a job as a cna...

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

    No one says you have to quit your current job or do something besides CNA while you're looking. So what if it does take a year? Work somewhere else while you look. I don't know what your bf's...

  5. Looking for Pointers from Current CNAs

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

    Those are lofty goals! :) It's hard to feel like you're making a difference when you have so much stuff to do in such a short amount of time. Clock in, yank people out of bed, shovel pureed beef and...

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

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Moogie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would hate that. If I wanted to work in the kitchen, laundry, or housekeeping, I would have applied for those positions in the first

  7. What to wear to new CNA job orientation?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to BreatheFree's topic in General Nursing

    I asked them what to wear when they called and told me when the orientation was, and they said whatever I wanted, so I wore jeans. So did the other people at

  8. CNA Bloopers!

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

    I almost tripped over an invisible (ie nonexistent) object while walking into a patient's room today. Her family was in there and they all saw me nearly bust my head

  9. CNA- What questions should I ask?

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

    I took mine through a school but if you want to call nursing homes ask them how long the program is, if there is a cost or you have to sign a contract to work there. How long is the classroom portion...

  10. Murphy's Law of CNA's!

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

    Yeah they always have to fart whenever their butt is facing you... never when you turn them the other way. And people with leg braces and other things they have to wear every day are always the ones...

  11. Question about occupied bed

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Christina08's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would do it for the state test since the beginning steps are always "wash hands and put on gloves" for everything. And on the job I'd do it too because you wouldn't need to change the bed with...

  12. CNA Exam -- Anyone have trouble finding the pulse?

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

    Put your fingers on the wrist bone and then move it inwards until you're in that "trough" between the bone and the tendon. It sometimes helps to tilt the hand backwards a little. In the real world if...

  13. Morale of the Nursing Home

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Nikki69's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm a CNA and what causes a "low morale day" for me is having to work with other lazy CNAs and/or getting stuck with the same boring assignment over and over again with people that annoy me. Based on...

  14. Question about Hoyer Lift and Patient With Severe Muscle Atrophy

    fuzzywuzzy replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    The old hoyers that you have to crank up so the person in it is bouncing around and someone else has to hold their legs to keep them from sliding out of it? We still use those on some people. They...

  15. What Motivates You to Go to Work Each Day?

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

    Sometimes it's knowing who I'll be working

  16. Misleading Advertisement

    fuzzywuzzy replied to LPNstudent24451's topic in General Nursing

    Well then he should have had more than just 2 visits a day. I'm not getting the outrage here. It's just a commercial. It would be up to the home health nurse to educate the family about all that...

  17. Pumping at work and childcare

    fuzzywuzzy replied to bigmona's topic in General Nursing

    But it IS a bodily function. Maybe if more people saw it for what it is (instead of something being done to annoy everybody), they'd tolerate it more. If you have to leave the floor to take a poop...

  18. Tell me what U think?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Shari1565's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They have to pay you. It's illegal not

  19. Required Nursing Uniform

    fuzzywuzzy replied to pbstrums's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really see the need for this in LTC. You see the same people every day, and if they're cognizant enough to know what your colors mean, then they already know who you are. I actually wouldn't...

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

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

    The same rehab patient I b*tched about yesterday asked me if I'd just got back from watching the movie in the recreation room. Um, no. I've been working. Is that what you think we do all day?...

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

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

    a-ha so that's what this was

  22. Misleading Advertisement

    fuzzywuzzy replied to LPNstudent24451's topic in General Nursing

    They're probably just trying to show people that they can send aides out any time, morning noon and

  23. so where do u get your scrubs from....

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

    I go to a local store. They're expensive, but I prefer to buy local over going online. This store also has really nice stuff. And there's the obvious benefit of being able to try stuff on instead...

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

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    "Who the F is your mother?" I'd like to say that to those people who come up to me at random and start asking if their mom can do this or that, and I have no clue who Mom is because I've never seen...

  25. What skills did YOU get at the CNA state exam?

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

    We all had the same stuff. And the person who gave us the test was one of our clinical instructors, so she'd already seen us in action for a lot of stuff. We got hand washing, TPR, ROM (different...
