   Management at our facility requires two CNA when you're using a sit-to-stand, or hoyer lift. You'll be terminated if they see you using a machine without help because that's the company policy and a...

   I got hired a couple of weeks after I passed my state exam. I applied at my current job because my friend got a job there and told me to apply. I had one interview with the DON and she hired me on the...

7. The NOC shift doesn't wake up ANYONE in the morning...is this normal?

   KB24 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   The 3rd shift CNA's have to get up 5 residents each before the first shift CNA's arrive at 6:50 am to get assignment. You better have all 5 residents up because the morning nurses and aids will get...

   KB24 replied to Shimmer580's topic in General Nursing

   My advice would be to only take one class per quarter/semester if you're struggling because you need to spend extra time studying. College A&P is not the same as A&P for high school or A&P...

    KB24 replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't worry what the CNA teacher has to say or think because you won't be seeing him after you pass the class and your skills test. I hate to break it to you, but your peers and co-workers at work are...

    KB24 replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The night shift is the easiest shift and the most boring shift. You usually only have a couple other CNA's with you on the floor and you have more residents than 1st and 2nd shift. We have to get up 5...

14. Does this mean I got the job?

    KB24 replied to volcomcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, I think you have the job. It would make no sense for a nursing facility to only hire one CNA at a time because of the high turnover rate as a CNA. Every hospital or nursing facility in my area...
