I'm still considered a new cna. I've only been doing this for a little over a year. I got hurt 2 times in one year. the second time was actually another aid's fault, but my don actually said to me that "when you're off light duty, we're going to have...

this story made me e-mail my mother and tell her that we need to sit down and fill out the necessary paper work to make sure that she doesn't end up like my residents. i'm going to make sure that she lives and dies the way she wants to. i can only be...

if the pt is ambulatory then leave their shoes on. if they're non- ambulatory then it doesn't doesn't really matter, but you have to be consistent. same thing every week,

i asked at the ltc that i work at and they had to find the shoes first before they could give me an answer on whether or not i could wear them at work. i was told no, they don't offer adequate protection from being run over or having things dropped o...

my friend and i both bought the dr. scholl's inserts, i love mine and she hates hers. i think the kind of shoes you wear also make a difference. i wear mine in a pair of new balance's and she wears a pair of cheap shoes that she bought at walmart for...

hahahahahahahaha. that's awesome, and what makes it even funnier is i'm taking a break from my lego star wars where i'm beating on darth vader. that is just to funny.

don't give up. I had no interest in ltc care either. I much prefer assisted living. Those are the only two that i have experiance in. But once you finish the training course, you'll be able to find work elsewhere. Just keep working hard and doing wha...

I just took the final in my cna class and you have to pass the class final in order to take the state exam. so I haven't taken the state exam yet, but I got a 98 on my final. so I am so ready to take the state exam.

when i go to clinicals i take hand sanitizer, chapstick, an extra hair tie, extra scrubs and socks, and the obvious things found in a females purse. but i never take my ipod or money. lol. I don't want to "share" if you know what i mean.

oh geez. lol on my second day of clinicals, we went into a pt's room and she was the meanest person you could ever meet. the cna that i was working with went into her bathroom to get her meds for the morning and found that the pt had decided to finge...

truthfully, i haven't even gotten out of training yet, so i have no clue about actually working as a cna, but i have worked in some very toxic environments, so i do know a little about that. I'd say just do what you know is the right thing to do. and...

I was going through the medical help wanted ads and the local Unemployment offices job listings and I saw 1 want add for medical assistants, but there were over 40 for cna's. Just cna's not lpn's or rn's. just cna's. So your basis of thinking seems v...

oh i would never find someone else to do something that would take me a few minutes to do. That's just a dumb thing to do. LIke i said, if that's what i have to do, then that's what i do. I'm no better than anyone else and I will do my job to the abs...

I'm a little worried now. lol. I have little to no interest in wiping butts or in peri care. Don't get me wrong. Because it is part of the job I will do it to the best i possibly can. But I'd rather not. But I want to be an ER nurse. and i know that ...

wow all of you guys that say that you get paid 8 something an hour, that's just a total rip off. From what i've been told in MA they have to pay you at least 10 an hour. Don't take my word for it though. this is all still unknown to me. I'm just goin...

I'm not a can yet I'm just in training right now, but my pet peeve of the week is when we've taken a quiz or in this case we just took our midterm and had gotten back the grades. i got a 100 on it because i studied my by butt off and earned it and th...

I don't know where you live, but in MA, you can actually take a job while you're still in the class, but you have to pass the class in order to take the state exam and you have to pass the exam in order to keep your job.

What works for you might not work for everyone else. In my area, i don't remember ever seeing any hiring ads for MA's, but there are tons for CNAs, LPNs, and RNs. I'd rather invest my time and money in a career where i actually get to help people, an...

thank you for your story. I'm in a nurse's aide training class right now and they told us to always us a gait belt when ambulating a resident, and your story reminded me that just because it's what you're supposed to do, doesn't make it the right thi...

I'm trying to get in to a cna training program. I took the red cross entrance exam, but i'm also going to go the the local job bank because they help you with career training. But i'm scared. I'm scared that i'm going to be horrible, that i'll fail t...

i don't know you, but thank you for your kind words. I took my midterm in my cna training class today, and i got a 100 on it. And every quiz we've taken, I've just made sure that i studied and did my homework and i've gotten good grades on everything...

i start my cna training in two weeks and I'm absolutely terrified. I was a horrible student in college and I'm scared that I'm not going to pass this class and the state exam. my friends who have taken the class say that it's super easy and that I'll...

i don't know if people get fired in the nursing industry for facebook comments, but my mom had an assistant who flipped out on her and put in her two weeks, then later that day my mom got a phone call from someone from another company that they do bu...

I'm trying to get into a cna training program in western mass, and I'm worried that once I complete the training program no one will hire me because I have a really bad work history. The most recent job that I had was as a cashier supervisor, and I w...

one in the er i had pushed the nurse out of my way so i could puke in the bathroom, and i was shocked when she thanked me.
