    camci posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've been working at a LTC for 6 months, and the past 2 months have been miserable. I work on the total-care hall that has two residents in every room, and half the time get a decent partner (when the...

    The take away the shower team every now and then and bring them back a couple months later. This time was because a resident went months without her infected toe being reported by the shower team, so...

  4. CNA's taking over lpn's?

    camci replied to nurse hopefully's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We're nurse assistants, not nurses. Can you imagine doing CNA work AND nursing work at the same time on a hall? Nooooooo. Never. I would quit and go into

    camci posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a CNA and will be starting (hopefully) LVN school this fall, but last weekend one of our agency RN's came for the holidays and I started asking her about her job and stuff. She is a 60 year old...

    camci posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  9. First week on job/night shift/wants me to start rounds later?

    camci posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. Surprised during my clinicals

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

    You'll get over that fairly quickly. If everything was done by the book, you would absolutely positively never finish your work on time. As long as you're practicing good hygiene and you're keeping...

    camci posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just got hired for a job at assisted living PRN for 7.61 an hour. Seriously? That's below minimum wage, and he said it's because I have no experience in the health field yet. I have a 2nd interview...

  15. Whats with the beyond horrible pay? :(

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

    I know, it's absolutely disgusting taking advantage of very hard workers. This job was supposed to support me while going to nursing school, but looks like i'm going to have to take up another job...

  16. Whats with the beyond horrible pay? :(

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

  22. "Oh, you're a guy? I can't hire you"

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

    I probably won't file any complaints for the very reason someone listed about being "blacklisted". I have a 7 month baby to support and don't have the time to deal with that kinda thing. But then...
