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

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

    Oh and what I would really like to say to one of our rehab patients- I don't have time to stand here and listen to you whine and complain about what's on your supper tray every night. That's why they...

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

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

    Oh well in mine $8 is minimum wage. CNAs make $12-15. I kinda think we deserve more than 12 for what we do. When you're busting your butt and going crazy and then you realize what your paycheck is...

  3. Your scrubs - how to avoid bringing bugs into the car & house?

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

    I assume you're probably fairly young and reasonably healthy, in which case a little germs are not going to kill you. Do you wear a biohazard suit to the grocery store or to go shoe-shopping or pump...

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

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

    Do you work as a CNA? Do you have bills to pay? Where do you come from? Because where I come from, $10/hour is

  5. Charge Nurse did CNA work. Learned A LOT.

    fuzzywuzzy replied to arelle68's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm a CNA and honestly I would be insulted and maybe hurt if you said I had to do a round with you to prove that I was doing my job. I don't skip things or provide shoddy care on purpose. Then...

  6. Murphy's Law of CNA's!

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

    We have halls that are long term, halls that are rehab, and halls that are mixed. On the mixed hall every time you get an admission with like 6 suitcases full of clothing and you spend all night...

  7. My Life with a Nurse: A Man's Perspective

    fuzzywuzzy replied to StatBlues's topic in Nursing Humor

    And the stereotypes about the sexy nurse who does nothing but give sponge baths and put bandaids on boo-boos are way more sexist than the article making fun of all

  8. What do you wash your scrubs with?

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

    I don't know; my boyfriend does the

  9. Murphy's Law of CNA's!

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

    It's also inversely proportional to the size of the person! Also, the smaller the resident is, the more adept they are at kicking your

  10. Has anyone regretted their decision on becoming a CNA?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to kiss04bam's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nope. I enjoy it. Besides, I only spent $800 and 3 months to become one, rather than thousands of dollars and 3+ years it takes to become a nurse. So it's not like a had a lot of time and money...

  11. Murphy's Law of CNA's!

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

    ^Oh yeah! Every time I do my last rounds people refuse the bedpan. As soon as I add up all my outputs and turn in the paperwork they all start ringing. Guess what they want? The very night you...

  12. Feeling very discouraged right now. Advice please?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ojuice7620's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So your classmate was with you and SHE was the one who told you it was ok to transfer w/o the instructor as long as you were under CNA supervision, and only YOU got in trouble? I don't know who...

  13. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why people are so afraid of the government "controlling their health" when right now the insurance companies are doing

  14. Do you have a routine with your patients/residents?

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

    Ask the other CNAs what order they'd recommend, then write the times on your rounds sheet or make a list for your pocket. After you do the same assignment once or twice you figure it out what order to...

  15. Hard Time Finding Brachial Artery

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

    I remember learning in class that we had to find the pulse so we could put the stethoscope right on top of it, but in practice I put the steth wherever it LOOKS like it should go, and I never have...

  16. Need Some Wisdom

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

    I have long narrow feet with high arches, but I think I overpronate. I guess I need something to stop my arches from collapsing but I've bought tons of arch support inserts and they never do

  17. Urgent, need XXS scrubs in a week

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Nightingale11's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Cherokee makes low-rise XXS-Petite pants that aren't baggy in the

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

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

    To the girl on the other hall: Just answer the f-ing call lights! Who cares what the other aides are doing? Maybe they're not very busy either, but I don't see them sitting on their ass behind the...

  19. Male CNA student

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

    I'm sure people take advantage of male workers, but in my (limited) experience I haven't come across it. We have a male CNA and I noticed he lifts people more easily, but no one makes him do extra....

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

  21. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    When everything is a competition with the roommate. Especially when you can't go in there for anything without the jealous roommate becoming offended that you're doing some minor, routine thing for...

  22. Pinstriped Scrubs

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Lynx25's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    or this?

  23. CNA Exam Dilemma! Help!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to bluechick112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It SEEMS that way, but a lot of the steps are the same thing over and over again. If you look in your book you might see that the first 5 steps and the last 5 steps are the same exact thing for like...

  24. What is it like to be a CNA?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to fulfillment's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC, so there's a routine, but you still have to be fast. Everyone has a care plan that needs to be followed. There's a lot of toileting- walking people to the bathroom, checking for...

  25. Do You Work Overtime?

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

    It's not hard to get, but it sucks. You get so sick of being there constantly. Just that one extra day usually puts me over the edge. But it's nice to have the option available if you need the...
