    rosey2007cna replied to CNAkt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would recommend getting some Crocs (or off brand ones) if you are getting them for training. I would recommend getting some name brand shoes for when you are on the floor after your training if the...

  2. Do you like working in Assisted Living??

    rosey2007cna replied to BeJuled's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Some of these places are okay but some our not. My friend worked in a place where she had 2 floors of residents that she had to take care of. She told me that it was a regular thing to find a resident...

  3. What do you think a good CNA to patient ratio should be?

    rosey2007cna replied to rosey2007cna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At my last job it started at 8 to 1 with residents that were not mobile. Then about 2 weeks after I started working there it went to 12 to 1 and then things got fun and that was morning and evening...

    rosey2007cna replied to Serendipia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. Where's the difficulty?

    rosey2007cna replied to Poi Dog's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would talk to the central supply person and see if they know anything. Maybe it is on back order or something. I think that is crazy to not have any shampoo and to have the staff have to buy

    rosey2007cna replied to BeJuled's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  15. RANT!

    rosey2007cna replied to daniellemarie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally I would not stick the hearing aides in my pocket because the resident will think that you are stealing them. I would put them into a container labeled hearing aides and put them in their...

  18. what should CNA's carry at all times?

    rosey2007cna replied to NatashaArian's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
