  1. First day of CNA clinical - Elder abuse?

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

    i'm not defending what this cna did, if it's true, but i do think that the op is exaggerating. a lot. and honestly, her superior attitude annoyed me. i don't see why it matters if she is intelligent...

  2. First day of CNA clinical - Elder abuse?

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

    She's not going to be a CNA. She made sure to point out that she's taking the classes because she has to be on the registry in order to start the RN program. That, combined with all the melodrama and...

  3. Madame, your ignorance is astounding

    fuzzywuzzy replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    All I have to say is, it's a good thing teachers don't have to wipe butts! This teacher may think that butt-wiping is the lowest of the low, but that doesn't necessarily mean her daughter in law feels...

  4. respect between CNAs and Nurses

    fuzzywuzzy replied to tanzie2469's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it just depends on the personality of the unit. The more laid back a facility or particular unit is, the more people respect each other. I have seen one nurse literally knock CNAs over that...

  5. Can I Survive Off Of Certified Nursing Assistant Salary? Opinions & Stories Please!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to FuturePedsNurse92's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My wages are kind of high, I guess, but so is the cost of living in my state, so it evens out. Then again I was doing some comparing not too long ago and in CA the wages are the same and the cost of...

  6. How often do you get called and asked to work on days off?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to limonada's topic in General Nursing

    I have 2 jobs and one of them calls me every single day. I never answer the phone because I have it set up so that it doesn't ring when this facility calls me. I am normally a 7-3 person and they...

  7. Complaints about me ALREADY!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    what does putting 2 briefs on someone even

  8. Complaints about me ALREADY!

    fuzzywuzzy replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't get why people get mad about incontinence at the beginning of their shift. If the pad is brown and the ammonia smell just about knocks you over when you pull the covers back, then fine, get...

  9. toileting a resident

    fuzzywuzzy replied to jose2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So if you're transferring someone into a bed, you make the bed lower than the seat of the chair so gravity can take over? Because that's what I do all the time.

  10. Your Work Environment

    fuzzywuzzy posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm getting really fed up with the nursing home where I work and I'm thinking about applying at another facility. Since my current workplace is the only nursing home I have ever worked in, I'm not...

  11. toileting a resident

    fuzzywuzzy replied to jose2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What's the Bethany lifting

  12. What do I need for class??

    fuzzywuzzy replied to missie1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you were told not to bring anything, then I would think that you don't need to bring

  13. CNA's don't get full time pay?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to peppapig123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  14. toileting a resident

    fuzzywuzzy replied to jose2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well yeah, you'll have to toilet people alone eventually, but no one should be expected to toilet a resident by themselves when the grab bar is broken! That's

  15. Difference of being a CNA and a PSS/PCA

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

    I don't know what PSS stands for but I'm assuming your role is more like a companion/housekeeper. My local homecare agency has 2 different kinds of services- one that sends CNAs to do direct care and...

  16. Your Work Environment

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

    It's been a while since I posted this but I figured I would update. I got a per diem job at a "bad" facility.... and the grass is definitely greener! As soon as a full-time position opens up I'm...

  17. Discouraged new CNA in philly

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

    I think it just depends on how saturated your area is with CNAs, and there's also an element of chance. One day they might reject you because they just hired someone, and then a couple weeks later...

  18. Need advice about my CNA job :(

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Vblub01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I leave work feeling like that sometimes. Sometimes its just a day, and the next time I work I feel fine. Other times I feel stressed and depressed for a couple weeks at a time, depending on how the...

  19. Advice on work situation

    fuzzywuzzy replied to Shelbyash12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would probably save all the emails/voicemails, talk to a labor lawyer, and get his/her advice. A lot of them don't charge you to consult with them. There's no way I would let that slide. I know a...

  20. What SHOES do YOU wear?

    fuzzywuzzy replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Crocs have no arch support whatsoever. I can't imagine how anyone wears them. I have horrible feet and have never found a pair of shoes that works for me. I have narrow feet with really long, high...

  21. New CNA working in LTC getting depressed...please help!

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

    Technically, we have 10 minutes for each pair of CNAs to get 16 people ready for breakfast! We get on the floor at 7am and dietary drops the trays off 10-15 minutes later. Needless to say, our meal...

  22. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    fuzzywuzzy replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You have to admit though, it was pretty darn cute! Especially the part about the lightning bolt to the butt! Someone a few posts up mentioned deadwood employees that can't be fired because of a union....

  23. You need experience.

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

    There's no need to get snippy. You didn't reveal that you hadn't taken the class yet until your 2nd post, and then you still made it seem like you'd been applying for jobs. That kind of thing isn't...

  24. You need experience.

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

    Oh well if you haven't even taken the class yet it's no wonder no one is calling you back. Usually when a place is hiring CNAs they want them to start really soon because like I said, people are on...

  25. New CNA working in LTC getting depressed...please help!

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

    Here we go, I can feel one of my long posts coming on.... I hate to say it but your coworkers are right. You simply do have to get used to it, and it takes time. It's hard to give you any concrete...
