    i have personally seen this behavior in more than one patient later diagnosed with bowel impaction. it is frightening to watch and was described later as being very painful 7/10. one went to the er....

  3. What is the "HIV Certificate" required for Florida CNA employment?

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

    Correct. It is usualy also provided (mandatory by FAC in most settings) by employer training within the first 30 days of employment. An "HIV Certificate" is often not included with "test prep"...

    gregmotz posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In Florida, I've seen several help wanted ads that specify CNA certificate, CPR, and "HIV Certificate" required. Anyone know the definition of "HIV

  5. What is the "HIV Certificate" required for Florida CNA employment?

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

    Ah ha! Thanks for that. My seeing the requirement on several (count that as dozens) of CNA applications can be attributed to the Internet job search engines that duplicate each other ad infinitum....

  6. meeting with the hospital attorney next week

    gregmotz replied to tavalon's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes I think consulting an attorney is wise. I would also evaluate how life would change were you to throw the hospital or co-workers under the same figurative bus. These attorney driven busses do...

  7. Stethoscope/Blood Pressure Cuffs for CNA practice

    gregmotz replied to carebear890's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had trouble until I got this inexpensive solution. It is good for practice. Noise in the classroom prevented my learning at school. Later I found another person who bought the same thing. Go to...

  8. What are the odds?

    gregmotz replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    It would seem your debate might be stoked after a visit to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities website. Without occupational restriction, I'm saddened at the...

  9. New CNA with meaningless experience

    gregmotz posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Recent Fla. CNA looking for work. I worked as the caregiver for my mother who passed away after a difficult eight years with Parkinson's. I was the only caregiver. We went together through the very...

  10. New CNA with meaningless experience

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

    Things are much better now. It was a poor resume and equally bad online application submission method I was doing. Treat those "job duties" areas on stuffy applications as a chance to use flowing...

  11. how many of you go to the grocery store after working with patients?

    gregmotz replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    Some US hospital's policies, and European countries' regulations, mandate a uniform change into hospital-provided scrubs when arriving at work and a change back into street clothes before leaving...

  12. First day as a PCA nov 10 and im SCARED TO DEATH

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

    I think you'll do great. You sound like a person who cares about things being done right. I bet you'd have similar worries about any new job you'd be starting in few weeks. And you've had the same...

  13. Abbreviations on a resume

    gregmotz posted a topic in Nursing Career

    On a resume for a prospective CNA, should healthcare related abbreviations be used? Following the sticky links in the career advice section leads to conflicting opinion. Standard practice is never use...

  14. Abbreviations on a resume

    gregmotz replied to gregmotz's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks that fits. I'm also finding that having a few different formats readily available is helpful. Examples might be having one resume specifically formatted for the "Copy and paste the text of your...

  15. I need help and a have a few questions...

    gregmotz replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm struck that sl33y's focus returns back to charges and the DEA regardles the response. It's a valid concern. sl33y please visit the Bar Association web site for your State or County of Employment....

  16. New CNA with meaningless experience

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

    I try to let the interviewer know I'll work any or all shifts, but would prefer afternoon and nights, and that weekends are not a problem. In two of three interviews after being asked my shift...

  17. New CNA with meaningless experience

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

    I just noticed the subject of my own thread. I may have it now. It's only meaningless experience because I'm not making it meaningful. I should highlight the caregiver tasks I've performed. I'm...

  18. New CNA with meaningless experience

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

    To clarify, I've applied twenty-some places. But I actually don't think I've ever gotten face to face with someone who hires. I did a variety of requirements to apply such as come sit at their...
