    tokidoki7 posted a topic in General Students

    Know It Alls: CNAs and Nursing Students- How To Handle?

    tokidoki7 replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    You took the words right out of my mouth. It's all about RESPECT. For some reason, a few people don't want to acknowledge that. And it's funny that you can find dozens of post about CNA KIA, but as...

    Know It Alls: CNAs and Nursing Students- How To Handle?

    tokidoki7 replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    You need to watch your anger. You're expressing it through sarcasm. You actually like this back and forth bantering don't you? You seem to get off on it. And nothing you said was helpful- at

    Know It Alls: CNAs and Nursing Students- How To Handle?

    tokidoki7 replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    I believe you're overly sensitive because you never once asked for further information as to what the problem could be. The first thing you do is accuse me first of not accepting advice from RNs, but...

    tokidoki7 replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    I don't what you mean by "attitude adjustment" especially since I've clarified myself many times in my post. But at least you are asking questions because it means you want to dig a little deeper. By...

    tokidoki7 replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    WRONG. You only hear what you want to hear. You dismissed my post and accused me of not wanting to learn or take advice and that wasn't the intent of my post at all, no matter how many times I've...

    That's EXACTLY what I'm doing but you want to accuse me of being bitter and not wanting to perfect my skills. You're TOTALLY missing the entire gist of my post! IT'S THE PRESENTATION OF THE ADVICE...

    1) "A CNA who is also in nursing school does know more than you. They are actively studying these very things."- No kidding! 2) "Yes there is a right or wrong way. That kind of attitude may be where...

    Know It Alls: CNAs and Nursing Students- How To Handle?

    tokidoki7 replied to tokidoki7's topic in General Students

    The question actually should have been, "Has the CNA/student stopped to observe the way the information s/he sharing is received by the other co-worker? Are they presenting it in a helpful manner? Or...

    PCT on ICU

    tokidoki7 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Does anyone have experience working on an ICU as a PCT? I know that PCTs can do phlebotomy but I've often heard that they don't do much, that they mainly help assist the nurse with turning the patient...

    I dont handle lazy aides well

    tokidoki7 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Are you for real? Did you really say that? If you said that to me, we would've had an exchange of words. That was very condescending , extremely egocentric, and unprofessional. The RNs on my floor...

    tokidoki7 replied to jillac26's topic in General Students

    I didn't take Micro and A&P2 together. But if you don't take the time to study, then it will be difficult. There is some overlap between the two, but not that
