    CNA is always "sick"

    Poi Dog replied to freewmnheidi's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have no sympathy for your coworker. She is an adult and is making the decision to do whatever she does. I would rather go play in a sewer than work with someone who is not at full capacity. *runs...

    So... how do you deflect family members when you're busy?

    Poi Dog replied to nenabee's topic in General Nursing
