  1. Murphy's Law of CNA's!

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

    So very, very true! You've just made your last round and everyone is clean, dry, and happy. Within 10 minutes before leaving as you make the round with the next shift you have one that has wet the...

  3. Feeling very discouraged right now. Advice please?

    tishirajan replied to ojuice7620's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey there, I hope everything went well for you today. It's tough at first but you will get some experience under your belt and it will get better. You're not the first CNA to make mistakes. I've...

  4. CNA course

    tishirajan replied to adruiz01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's not difficult at all. It's mainly common sense more than anything. You can look up sample tests online from your state usually. The exam consists of a written test and a skills test. Like I...

  5. "And it's all going to be your fault"

    tishirajan replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Best post ever. I'm not a nurse yet, but working as a CNA I can relate to some of what you're saying. I had a lady that came and stayed with her husband from 7am till 9pm everyday. She was a former...

  6. Do you have a routine with your patients/residents?

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

    It all depends on the shift you're working. Mornings: Get report, get residents ready for BF, get supplies ready for showers, showered the easiest residents first, washed up residents who didn't get...

  7. When did you "Know" you wanted to be a nurse?

    tishirajan replied to markuskristian's topic in General Nursing

    I knew when I was 11 years-old and my brother broke his neck in a diving accident. Thankfully, he wasn't paralyzed but required help with his ADLs. I helped my mom take care of him by feeding him...

  8. My son, my hero!

    tishirajan replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    What an awesome kiddo you have! He is your hero and bless him for taking care of his mom and keeping his cool under pressure. Take care of yourself and give your son a "high-five" for

  9. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    tishirajan replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse but have worked as an aide and to me this nurse sounded very rude. There are better ways to communicate with people and she evidently lacks that skill. Of course she could have been...

  10. Need Some Wisdom

    tishirajan replied to tishirajan's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I hadn't thought of that with the arches. I thought that I would need more arch support since I have such flat feet. Thanks for the advice!! I could've made a terrible blunder there and blew some...

  11. Signing up for my CNA class today!

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

    Someone posted this link to Nurse Jackie episode 3. I love Nurse Jackie. Great show!!

  12. Patients and cell phone cameras

    tishirajan replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the fact that I don't want any part of my body in a picture without my consent. They can take all the pictures they want as long as I'm no where near being in the frame. LOL at being...

  13. EXCUSE ME!?!?!?!

    tishirajan replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    What a horse's butt! Good for you for keeping your cool. Just shows that you have more class and self-control than

  14. Is it late for me?

    tishirajan replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very much! It was hard work but so worth it. I've never felt better in my life. I was always a chunky kid. I tried every diet under the sun and found a program that worked for me. I eat...

  15. Is it late for me?

    tishirajan replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    I've lost 80lbs since May of last year. I'm 41 and I'm healthier now than when I was when I was 20. It's never too late to begin a healthy lifestyle. You just have to make up your mind to do it. I...

  16. Use some class/compassion

    tishirajan replied to nkara's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I couldn't agree more with what you both said. It takes a person with a great deal of self-control to not get defensive and go on a rampage when they've been put on the spot. My son works in customer...

  17. Trouble sleeping at night

    tishirajan replied to drawingarak's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but when I started doing CNA work I would hear the call lights, even when I was awake. It did subside over time but every time I started work at a different place it would start...

  18. First Day of Clinicals was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

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

    That's wonderful! You're going to be a great CNA. I can tell by your post you have lots of compassion and empathy for the pts. Always keep that attitude and you will do great. It's an amazing...

  19. how many cna's plan to continue their education?

    tishirajan replied to jynxa17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I let my certification expire so I'm looking into retaking the exam to get my CNA back while I go to school. I decided that would help me brush up on my skills while in school and help me earn some...

  20. Burned Out and Breaking Down

    tishirajan replied to Button2006's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Bless your heart! It can really take a toll and you can get burned out easily when you're pulling doubles. I used to work doubles and after a year I couldn't do it anymore. You need to take some...

  21. I have my FIRST INTERVIEW !!

    tishirajan replied to crystal25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Could be because she's working for her MIL. I really don't know. The pay will get better though. They sometimes compensate for mileage, that may be why she's making that much. When I worked in HH...

  22. Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    tishirajan replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if I came off as harsh. I just couldn't believe that she didn't know the difference between a foley and an IV. Didn't mean to sound like a heifer :uhoh21:. I'm just kinda PO'd because...

  23. Everyone has a 4.0 GPA!!

    tishirajan replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    It really makes you wonder doesn't it? Couldn't tell a foley from and IV?!? That takes a "special" kind of stupid if ya know what I

  24. harrasment by nurse manager

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

    Indeed it does. As my grandad always said...it'll all come out in the wash :wink2: Whatever she does she really does need to file a grievance against this nurse. I wish her lots of
