  1. NEW CNA: Running behind on workload! Feel awful!

    panjia posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

    I do ask questions when I can, since the other CNAs are running around tryin to do their own thing, so I can't waste my time trying to find them. In between though, I ought to check the charts more...

  9. NEW CNA: Running behind on workload! Feel awful!

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

    Thank you Jack245. I am surprised that nearly all the CNAs, even the ones who have only worked for 1 month, do not need any method of organization such as clipboard. They tell me there is no time to...

    panjia replied to windmill182's topic in General Students

    Strength: I am going through the same exact thing. After failing out of nursing BSN school, my confidence level sunk. I am now a CNA at a nursing home, to really determine if nursing is right for me....

  15. Scared to death of losing first CNA job

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

    Can I just say that I am glad that you posted this, because I have nearly the same exact issue, on the slow-learning part. I wish I was a fast learner.
