  1. Stay at Home Mom Deciding on CNA Certification....

    fuzzywuzzy replied to MomOfTwo2009's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you take a CNA course you will most likely have to work in a nursing home after you get certified. It's my understanding that most hospitals don't hire new CNAs. You can work as many hours as you...

  2. Resident copped a feel

    fuzzywuzzy replied to retread71's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh no you DIDN'T just say

  3. Cost of CNA class

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

    So have we established that this is a CNA class, not a medical assisting

  4. This Is Crazy!!!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, so they came out of a bar, crossed the street, almost got squashed by a car, angrily banged on the car, the drover got out, an altercation took place, the husband got injured, and they freaked...

  5. This Is Crazy!!!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    The comments on that article are even crazier... really immature. Is the Patriot Ledger a trashy

  6. She did WHAT?

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

    ??? I'm not going to the DON. Anyway, problems at home are not an excuse to consistently leave people without their call

  7. She did WHAT?

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can we have a thread for stuff we can't believe our coworkers did? The other night we had this lady who was really tired and wanted to go to bed right away. She had family visiting but they were going...

  8. Aches and Pains from working

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My lower back is stiff and sore. My legs ache all the way down to my feet, which hurt. Do you guys do anything before or after work to avoid all this pain? Yoga, stretching, exercise, the right...

  9. She did WHAT?

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

    yes it is the same

  10. dumb CNA... who is responsible?

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work with a very irritating CNA. She's very slow and scatterbrained and usually can't keep up with the work. None of the other CNAs can stand working with her because we get stuck picking up her...

  11. dumb CNA... who is responsible?

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

    She's been a CNA for 5 years. I don't think twice about this kind of behavior from a new, frazzled CNA. I don't even think she's burnt out, just dumb. She can't even get the residents' names right...

  12. cna is hard work

    fuzzywuzzy replied to la mama 310's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you talking about fingers or toes? Because we clip the fingernails but not even the nurses clip or file the toes. Only the podiatrist does that. We have a diabetic woman who lost a leg because...

  13. cna is hard work

    fuzzywuzzy replied to la mama 310's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We're not supposed to touch toenails with anything but soap and water.

  14. Quiet nurse?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm quiet too, but in my case it seems like everyone perceives it as "laid-back." It amazes me when people make comments about how I never seem to get stressed out, because I'm actually very...

  15. Newbie Question...

    fuzzywuzzy replied to blueiris's topic in General Nursing

    Get a gait belt with a plastic clip instead of a metal

  16. are you nice to new people?

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

    That's SO me! And I'm so self-conscious I get flustered and can't think! If it makes you feel any better I did eventually catch on. Everything clicked and I get along with pretty much

  17. are you nice to new people?

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Everybody else seems to roll their eyes behind a new CNA's back, talk about her, hide from her, etc. I always offer my help, try to explain things, etc. There's one new girl who everyone treats like...

  18. Does this annoy you too?

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

    I've never seen that. But the previous post did make me flash back to when everyone covered their backpacks with keychains. You had to have a certain kind of LL Bean backpack and every zipper pull...

  19. Advice Please?

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

    And what's with not having an assignment? No wonder people are lazy- they're not accountable for

  21. Advice Please?

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

    Up until you mentioned the baths being skipped I thought, "Well that doesn't mean she's lazy." She probably didn't have time to stand around for 10 minutes watching you figure out how to change...

  22. CNA being asked to go through patient med records

    fuzzywuzzy replied to beck_79's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How are you expected to have time to do that anyway? We have those cheat sheets at my job and one of the office nurses does

  23. Yea, they fired me......

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

    I don't understand why they fired you? But I'm glad you're not upset! Enjoy your

  24. assertiveness/confidence?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Well, speaking as someone who IS shy, quiet, and meek, I have to say that it's HARD! I would love to develop more confidence, not because I'm unhappy with myself, but because my life would be so much...

  25. cna is hard work

    fuzzywuzzy replied to la mama 310's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
