  1. Throw it on the floor?!

    Misslady113 replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  2. Should I become a CNA?

    Misslady113 replied to Zalan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Misslady113 replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. She is an assistant to the nurse and if you need assistance, that's what she is there for. From what you said everything went fine. Even though she felt a certain way, she did...

    Misslady113 replied to eveningsky339's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in a nursing home that does rehab as well. I actually enjoy it. It's not the depressing, "they stay here till they die" environment. We have residents come and get better and go home. It's much...

    Misslady113 replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing
