    home health aides...where are you?

    interceptinglight replied to peppapig123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I really wouldn't be any more afraid being at a client's home than I would be at my own, even on a night shift. In my case, I really can't do a night shift because I have 4 kids of my own and need...

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

    All-Time Toileting Record!

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

    That's just the thing that irks me about this job, one of the reasons I'm leaving this facility. We are ever only given the most cursory information on each of the residents we take care of. It...

    All-Time Toileting Record!

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

    You bring up a very good point -- I suppose it wasn't really right for me to remind this lady that there are others that need help as well. I was trying to appeal to her intelligence, she's a very...

    Working on a vent unit

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

    Resigned From Long Term Care

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

    I think you're right, fuzzy. I felt so terrible and belittled about the whole situation that I just went ahead and meekly signed the damned thing. What happens if you refuse to sign a write-up...

    Resigned From Long Term Care

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