i was just wondering if anyone else found it odd that everyone wears scrubs in medical facilities. i personally do not understand why the dietary staff or the housekeeper needs to wear scrubs. i think it confuses patients because they associate the...

I am buying some new scrubs and I am torn on what to wear. I own both prints and solids, but I have recently been reading more about prints being unprofessional. In my opinon, in LTC prints are a conversation piece. I will have some residents who ...

NEVER CALL THEM DIAPERS!!! I learned that in my NA class and it has always stuck with me. So often when some describes being a CNA they say "it's just like taking care of bigger babies"! No it is not, most of the residents know what is going on and...

I work in an LTC facility where we usually know why the person is in isolation and how serious it is. It never seems to matter how serious the infection is, people still refuse to gown up. We had a patient who was on contact isolation, and the CNA ...

I have a camo top with pink trim on it and all my pts love it, I wear it with plain pants though. I think that patterned pants look stupid so I wouldn't do that. I think a camo top for a male would look good though.

I have the same problem, I have worn nothing but DC shoes since my freshmen year in high school (about 6 years) and I still wear them. I never had much of an arch to begin with so that's why I have always worn them and they are the most comfortable ...

I buy natural scrubs sets for $12/set. They are comfy, fit well, launder well, and practical.

Grey's Anatomy, Baby Phat, Izzy, and Urbane scrubs all run smaller then normal.

Baby Phat scrubs are really cute and are made for smaller frame girls, there is also urbane scrubs or izzy scrubs that are made for small women. I do know some nurses that wear the cotton top with the scrub pants, I think it is more of a dress code ...

I would definitely go with the 4-10s. Instead of being 4 extra hours like you work now, it's only 2 extra hours and you have 3 days of instead of the 2 that you would have with 5-8s.

I can see both sides, but what I can say is what I learned in high school has in no way helped me with being a CNA. So much of being a CNA is common sense and not about book smarts. If being a cna was about book smarts then you would not be able to...

In both Illinois and Iowa (I live on the border, so they both affect me) you must have a h.s. diploma or ged to take the classes at any of the local schools, so that would lead me to believe it is a state requirement.

When I took my cna class, we had a girl who was also 5 months pregnant in our class. She completed the class but could not do the clinicals. The school worked with her though, and she just has to take a week of clinicals once she had her baby.

I always love how people say night shift does nothing! I take care of 30 residents, of that only 2 can walk themselves to the bathroom. I have 4 bed checks were I must check all of those residents, I have paperwork (which is all done on a computer s...

I passed mine 100% the first time around! I was really nervous to, but just pretend that the evaluator is not there and slow down and take your time. in iowa, you have 45 minutes to do all of your skills. I thought I took along time and ended up have...

Yeah that is true, it does seem to convey a cleaner image.
