  7. Terrible Incident

    TampaTech replied to josebeltran88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  8. I have a dilemma..Ughhhhhhhh

    TampaTech replied to *Miss*'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This doesnt make sense. Why would they make you retest if you already have your CNA? Is this because you havent been working in such a long time? Why dont you try hospitals as well. I am sure...

  9. How to deal with a nurse that acts immature?

    TampaTech replied to scorp2580's topic in General Nursing

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

  12. CNA's moving form LTC to Acute Care

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

  13. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

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

    i would have to say something in this about that age. In Florida you have to be 18 to do anything in nursing field. I am surprised that they allowed her to be able to take this class. Being the...

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

  15. Oh the wonderful smells

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

  16. CNA & post mortem care - mandatory?

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

    Dont worry we all have to PM care. It isnt glamourous but like you said, "someones gotta do it". Now not to sound mean and uncaring, but unless you have some sort of documented reason as to why you...

  20. Male nurses: Are we welcome?

    TampaTech replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Geeze....sad but true most nurses are sex crazed ladies (in my case not goddesses lol ) But one thing I do know is how to speak to a lady and make them like me. I was also told this by my CNA...

    TampaTech replied to AragornSkywalker's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is what I know about ins. When a pt leaves AMA 99% of insurance will not cover the costs of any services rendered during that particualr time. Atleast this is what I have been told a few times....
