    CaitlinLiz replied to tmhart's topic in General Nursing

    Well they are technically wait listing but I would definitely still go because the wait list moves very quickly the closer it gets to classes starting. Good luck!!

  5. Throw it on the floor?!

    CaitlinLiz replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What I usually do, is if I am changing a brief I roll it up inside the pad that they were laying on. I roll out the whole soiled pad and put it on the floor rolled up. That way yes it is on the floor,...

  10. Holy Name Hospital

    CaitlinLiz replied to tmhart's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like its safe to say if you have an interview its a good sign. It is pretty laid back, it was more telling me what the school was like than anything else. dont stress too much about it, they...

  11. First Day Blues

    CaitlinLiz replied to darci14's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CaitlinLiz replied to ccasey013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  13. Turning down a job

    CaitlinLiz replied to jd1797's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think that if you are looking to work in a hospital, I would 110% take the part-time work. In my experience a facility is more likely to give you full-time work before hiring someone for a full-time...

  14. When to answer other cna's call lights

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

    CaitlinLiz replied to ICor9:24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Dear Mr. Anonymous in room 212A: Is it completely necessary to scream nurse when I walk by, even after I have nicely explained to you numerous times that A: I am not a nurse, I am an assistant- I can...

    CaitlinLiz replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    This definately makes me angry- I feel your pain, sister! I have been working as a CNA for three years now and it still amazes me the nerve *some* RNs have. Never in my career will I disrespect an...

  20. Medical Assistants to replace RN's?

    CaitlinLiz replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I am actually an example of this. I work in a doctor's office as a Medical Assistant with another MA. We don't hire nurses, and it is an office with a Dermatologist and Orthopedic Surgeon. We are...

    CaitlinLiz replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. When I lost my mom someone told me a very wise saying. "The pain of losing a loved one never fades, you just learn how to cope with it better". You...
