  3. I will keep asking for help!

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

    I leared the hard way that you must always check the careplan when transfering a resident. I had a resident one time and when I transferred him by myself, he fell to the ground. The nurses came in...

  4. CNA DIARY - A patient fell down

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

    It doen't matter how many patients you have. You could have three and the risk of falling is always there. Its not always the CNA\Nurses fault. If you put the rails up, left the bed in a low position...

  5. I think I want to do it

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

    Honey.. you don't need our encouragement. That little inner voice seems to be doing all the encouraging for you. It keeps pushing you to do what it may very well be time for. Don't ignore it,...

  6. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

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

    It defiantly is beneficial. You will take a pay cut, but the experience is worth it. Even if you only work the job for a few months, you will have an idea of what your getting into. It would suck to...

  7. For those who work in LTC facility, what is the doctor like?

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

    The MD's where I work come in two or three times a week and are pretty nice. There are two of them and they mostly seem to do paperwork and see the residents they need

  9. Is BSN and ASN the same thing????

    Misslady113 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Im a bit confused about the curriculum of both degrees. An ASN consists of 1 year to a year and a half of pre reqs, and two years of nursing school. And a BSN is 2 years of pre reqs and 2 of nursing...

  10. I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    Misslady113 replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well thank you GilaRN. I did understand the basic differences, but I didn't find a thread that answered this specific question, so I guess my question still goes

  11. Waitress or CNA?

    Misslady113 replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    I had to decide the same thing. I have waitressed for the past couple of years and took a major pay cut to be a CNA. I believe it was worth it. It really exposes you to what the field is and helps you...

  12. Stood my ground....

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

    My job was the same way. The rudeness was unbelievable. I tried to never take it too personal though. I knew that one day I would get to walk out and do something better and they were just stuck where...

    Misslady113 replied to tracey87's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on alot of things. Your responsibilites, finances, what your goal in nursing is, etc. But I would just go straight for the R.N. I had a hardtime deciding LVN or BSN. But I told...

    Misslady113 replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

    I never thought about reporting it. To be honest, what can I really do? I am just a temporary CNA there and she has been there for over 10 years. I will be leaving there soon and it will probably...

  15. Inappripriate things you've seen a CNA do?

    Misslady113 replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

    One of the CNA'a on my job is sleeping with one of the quadriplegic residents. His member still works and I guess she gets on top and he gives her money. Oh well, he's very happy about it

  16. Need Advice.....ANimal Nursing or Continue RN Nursing???

    Misslady113 replied to AR2010's topic in General Nursing

    You need to follow your logics, as you said. Your feelings of being burnt out are very real things, but are just that... feelings. When years pass, and those feelings pass, your logic of staying in...

    Misslady113 replied to sistasoul's topic in General Nursing

    Misslady113 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    We all have our own individual paths that lie ahead of us that will take us to our purpose. If the job is meant to be you will get it. If it's not you won't, and there may be another place that lies...

    Misslady113 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York Nursing

    Doni718.... It all depends on where you go and how determined you are to insist that you really want the grant. Don't take no for an answer. When I first went my intention was to do CNA\PCT combined....

    Misslady113 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

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

    I am a CNA currently taking EKG and Phlebotomy courses. If you do get a job it will not be as a CNA. You will either be hired as a Patient Care Tech or you could just be a Phlebotomist working in a...

    Misslady113 replied to rocknroll01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I definatly take shortcuts as a CNA. But I never let those shortcuts go against what is ordered by the Doc in the residents chart. One time we had a new resident and I checked his chart and it said...

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

    Don't worry about it. As long as they are not directly talking about you, they are just making a general statement. There will always be someone in this industry who will not like you or your work,...
