  1. not physically strong enough to be a CNA...

    Ytellu replied to mar12011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What about trying to switch to a unit clerk position in the hospital. You'd still be an important part of the team, called upon to help/assist with patients while not being the primary CNA. I'm in my...

  2. Unfortunate Experience with Coworkers in LTC

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

    I would advise that you go into the meeting and listen and not assume that is what she is going to talk about. If it is I would mention the names of the nurses that day that can verify that you were...

  3. Awful day

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You NEED to speak to your DON about your lack of training regarding restraints. You are VERY lucky the patient didn't get hurt. You don't need hints from someone on a message board-you need hands on...

  4. I am taking the CNA state exam on July 11th.

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

    When I took my test I read my task and then performed it as though it was real. The evaluator will be looking to make sure you are doing all the right steps. My evaluator only said "you can begin now"...

  5. Should I take it?

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  6. Reporting resident abuse- right or wrong? :(

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

    Like the other said you did the right thing. You would want it reported if it was your relative in that facility. The unit manager will have some questions of her own to answer. Someone who said the...

  7. Should I take it?

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am going to be totally honest. I've read most of your prior posts. I can't believe you are considering another position when you don't even have a handle on the one you have yet. You complained...

  8. For those of you looking for a job

    Ytellu posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello to all. I am a CNA and like all of you I had to find my first job once I became certified and found it a challenge. Being a CNA is a second career to me. My first was in the business world and I...

  9. Can't get hired as a CNA!!

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

    Hello. I'm going to give the same advice I've given others (and it works). First, you will get a job. Maybe not tomorrow but eventually. I had to apply to 22 job postings at my local hospital before...

  10. "Instructor" rant

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

    Seriously no one should be treated like that. I would find her supervisor and speak to him/her and ask for a meeting just the three of you and hash it out. Perhaps you can stop her from bullying...

  11. Does anyone know anywhere hiring CNA'S with no experience in LV,NV

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

    How about volunteering at a LTC or Hospital part time and find whatever work you can get until you can "network" your way into a

  12. Currently working at ltc going for my "peer interview" at a hospital.....help!!

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

    I've never heard of the peer interview thing. Quite interesting. In my opinion I would think if they didn't want you then you wouldn't have had that peer shadowing at all. From what you wrote it...

  13. For those CNAs who got hired straight into hospitals...

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

    Hello and Congrats. I also knew that I wanted to work in a hospital rather than a LTC. What I did was keep an eye on the hospitals "career" section on their website and they had an option that would...

  14. I work in LTC, I want to get a hospital cna job..

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

    Well you could tell your current employer you are applying for a per diem job at the hospital so you can pick up some extra money and ask them for a letter of reference. That way perhaps the hospital...

  15. how do you chart?/question about shifts

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    EXACTLY fuzzywuzzy. EXACTLY!!

  16. how do you chart?/question about shifts

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Honestly, asking all of us to tell you how we do charting at our respective hospitals, LTC, or other facilities will just confuse you more. What matters is what YOUR facility wants you to do and in...

  17. Venting, being blamed for another home health aide's error

    Ytellu replied to tomc5555's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't understand either. Are you trying to say you were blamed for the client taking a second insulin shot because the prior HHA said

  18. Just a random question

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Your post concerns me greatly. You have said in prior posts that you have no experience as a nursing assistant and you are a recent graduate as a medical assistant. May I suggest you make a list of...

  19. CNA to be

    Ytellu replied to arg167's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wonder if any of the summer camps that have nurses on staff would be willing to have a teen intern? Just an

  20. snf vs hospital, which teaches best cna skills for being an RN?

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

    I've worked both and think you would learn the most if you worked at both places. It's easier getting a job in LTC. Try to do per diem at a hospital so you get to experience both. Two different...

  21. Things you wish you knew before clinicals?

    Ytellu replied to CNA2bRN13's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can pretty much bet that you can out run any resident that chases you :) I wish someone told me that putting Vicks under my nose would help with the smells that I wasn't use to. Good

  22. How do you remember?

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hmmmmm. You will develop your own system for remembering what you did for who. Get a small notepad and write down your vitals, I&O's, temp ect. You will see everyone do it a different way. What...

  23. How does first few days etc. go at hospital?

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My first day they showed me how to tell which nurse was assigned to which patient and I was given a hallway of patients. First task was to get vitals and enter into the computer then followed by...

  24. Busy...busy..busy.. Start the 30th!

    Ytellu replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    All money spent on uniforms and shoes and anything related to a job expense (if not reimbursed by employer) can be used as a tax deduction. Save your

  25. Got a hospital cna job

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

    Congrats on the new gig. I am one who also prefers hospital work. To each their own
