  1. New health-care law might make doctors more informed, efficient, responsive

    FraidoCat replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This initiative seems like it is designed to control costs. Here's hoping it

  2. CHUX.

    FraidoCat posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello Fellow CNA's. Do you guys use CHUX? We used to, but unfortunately management in its infinite wisdom has decided to discontinue using them and I gotta tell you. I'M CHANGING MORE BEDS THAN...

  3. CHUX.

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

    I think my DON lied through his teeth. He told us that the reason they are getting rid of the CHUX is because the company is trying to get a head of the new State regulations next year. And of the...

  4. Salaries

    FraidoCat replied to muffinCNA15's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's against the law. The minimum wage is $7.25/hr. I make $10.00/hr in KY working

  5. Do CNA's do ANYTHING other than bedpan work?

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

    Do you plan on working in LTC or a hospital? In LTC you'll be doing a lot of toileting, dressing, shoving pureed grool down half-concious throats, things of that nature. Hospitals are probably...

  6. lazy cnas

    FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's evident that you are prone to calling CNA's lazy. You don't even know me and you called me one. Pathetic

  7. lazy cnas

    FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in fact I am a CNA in an LTC and I resent your brash generalizations. It's interesting to me that a CNA can work hard from the start of their shift, to the end of their shift vitually non-stop...

  8. lazy cnas

    FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    HA! There it is again, that corporate phrase that means, "just shut the hell up and do what you're told, I don't care

  9. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

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

    Not necessarily. A CNA aspiring to be an RN won't be doing the same thing on a Med/Surg floor than he/she would be doing at a

  10. lazy cnas

    FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    If, god-forbid, my mother were left to lay in a pool of urine and feces for a longer than reasonable time, I would ask the DON why he/she doesn't staff his/her facility

  11. For those who work in LTC facility, what is the doctor like?

    FraidoCat replied to NP Sam's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There's a

  12. lazy cnas

    FraidoCat replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    Leave the field then, because if you honestly believe that patients aren't getting the care they deserve because of the CNA's then you are

  13. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

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

    Depends. What avenue do you want to go in Nursing? Don't work at an LTC if you don't plan on working geriatrics or LTC once you get your RN. Hold out for a job at a

  14. Consumer group sues Anthem Blue Cross over policy changes

    FraidoCat replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Feel free to tell me in a PM. I love reading unfiltered truth about insurance

  15. Consumer group sues Anthem Blue Cross over policy changes

    FraidoCat replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I admire those nurses in California, if only the rest of the countries nurses would get on

  16. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    FraidoCat replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    160k? That doesn't make sense. The max an undergrad can get in subsidized and unsubsidized in 57k I

  17. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

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

    That phrase always made me laugh. I think it's a corporate/management phrase that really means, "I don't care how you do it, just shut up and do it." I actually laughed out loud once when our DON used...

  18. CNA Un-Truths

    FraidoCat replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Unions are good for nurses and CNA's. They insure that corporate greed doesn't get in the way of patient and employee safety &

  19. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

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

    Also, for those of you who mentioned the cost of tuition for both CNA and MA programs, this problem could of course be easily remedied if higher education were free at the point of service like the...

  20. Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead

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

    Thank You. I agree with each and every word of this. I hate my job and I feel I was misled. I'm just biding my time until I can leave. Hell, I'm in nursing school but I don't even know if I want to...

  21. First Day Tomorrow! (Ah!!!)

    FraidoCat replied to cupcake231's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's easy. And half of the crap they teach you you will have to unlearn once you get a job. The CNA courses are designed to teach you what the state requires, they don't teach you how to be a good...

  22. Think CNAs will pick up LPNs duties in hospitals?

    FraidoCat replied to lina.561's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Exactly. I was just going to mention. If CNA's are expected to do more for less then management might have problems. On the other hand of course, the corporate world has basically managed to convince...
