OK, so this is a quick and hopefully easy question to answer!!! So a friend of mine raised a question in my mind, she believes that CNA's can work in sport medicine! Is this true? Because if that is the case thats where i NEED to be!!! Can someone p...

Well i know in MY CNA course we were taught not to use these words when speaking to a patient it was described as disrespectful, I cannot remember exactly the reason for this but it did have alot to do with bring them down to a childs level, as we ty...

Is it possible to be hired on into a daytime shift or is that nearly impossible?? I am NOT a good night person!!!! I get burned out very easily on nights but its not from work, it is from not seeing my daughter and husband and spending quality time ...

I really like ten hour shifts, i tried to swing that at my first job ever as a CNA but they were not having it. But my second job let me for a few months then they got short handed and asked if id got back to 12's not sure why though i basically work...

Thanks for all the input, i recently left a job (due to problems with pregnacny) where i was working over night and it was a scattered shift where id work for 3 days get one off then work for 4 get one off then work 2 and FINALLY get 2 days off. I re...

I know I personally get a huge sugar rush from caffeine to only crash soon after. Just a thought though.

PERSONALLY i think a med tech gets better expirence, because they get to work side by side the nurses (at least where i use to work) they get to do quite a few of the things that nurses get to do (there again may just be where i work i dont know) whi...

If by orientation you mean interview, NOT a good idea, whether that place is your top choice, or not, it looks and sounds tachy and disrespectful and give the idea that if another "top choice" comes along in a few months you will quit at the drop of ...

I am a CNA, but currently due to problems with my pregnancy, i work in medical records at a home health agency. We have a form for doctors, an RN has to fill out the order that they want approved and we fax it to the Dr. who signs it and returns it....

WOW!!! 14.00 an hr for CNA job. Id love that!!!! Starting pay in okla for cna is usually 10 dollars the most i made starting was 12.50 what 2.50 was differential for working weekends and nights. TAKE IT! any expirence is better than none! Fortunatley...

I work in a VA center, and we are absolutly forbidden to wear, all black (depressive color) any red due to it reminds pt of the war (blood i assume??), and no camo no matter what color there again reference to war.

I agree with the previous posts, but there is a point that private life becomes annoying. A co worker of mine alwasy talks about how she sleeps with this guy behind her husbands bakc and all this other stuff about her screwed up life and i personally...

This is irrelevant to the complaint but made me think of this situation i was in one time, me and my co-worker were putting patients to bed (we r cnas) on a high functioning alzhiemer unit, but this one pt is always wanting to get in and out of bed h...

I would report, I know my job you have to give at LEAST 2 hrs notice if not coming in or its a write up. ANd just because you showed up or even if you called in NO supervisor is allowed to treat you with such disrespect. It is not appropriate.

I love helping people, but I really think I like the exciting stuff and the adrenaline rush i can get, which at the VA happened only twice the entire time i worked there, once we had a patient choke that was really exciting, the second while I was gi...

I have been a CNA/HHA for the past 6 months, I worked at 2 nursing homes one of which was a state VA center. Then I went into home health. I begin classes in august for my BSN, but after being a CNA I really don't enjoy it, i DREAD going to work. Is ...

Thanks I didn't think about applying there at all thanks for all the help

I think I will try again. I applied at st Francis st johns n southcrest but I was turned down . But I will go re apply. That could be what it takes to set me. I am rly not a fan of geriatrics which is the only thing you can do in a nursing home lol

I am going to the ou Tulsa campus. But I'm getting into ou in a kinda odd way. They are partnered with Tulsa community college and they allow you to do all your basics at tcc then transfer over to ou with promised enterance.

Well that's what I originally began college I was a pre-med student at the univ of tulsa the only reason I have decided against that us I don't want to be a CNA for the next 12 years of my life.

You must have been intended to be there at that time!!!! Way to go!!!! There's a reason for everything that happens!!!

I am not completely sure about this, but I think the only way you cannot, will not, shouldn't even dream of being a nurse if you have a record (like felonies) O n even if you are around people that do drugs, it will show up on a drug screen. so get o...

my ultimate goal in life is to become either an OB/GYN, Anesthisiologist or Surgeon. i want those more than anything and the BSN is just a stepping stone to get me there. I have been accepted and even attended one the nations top university (universi...

No I haven't but I really should!!! Thanks for the Idea!!!!!!
