  1. Non-smokers getting less breaks?

    hkendrick1987 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Let me start off by saying that i'm not trying to ruffle the feathers of the smokers on the forum. To each is their own, and if you choose to smoke, i'm in no position to say anything negative about...

  2. Ever been told to falsify documents?

    hkendrick1987 replied to Poi Dog's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had a similar situation happen to me. I had a nurse (who happened to be one of my best friends at the time) tell me that I needed to just pretend as if a fall didn't happen because she didn't want...

  4. Funny things your residents have said/done...

    hkendrick1987 replied to SnowbirdinFL's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A 93 year old dementia patient of mine asked me last night why it was that I didn't find him sexually attractive. When I proceeded to tell him that it was unprofessional to think things of that sort...

  5. Stupid Rules...

    hkendrick1987 replied to CoffeemateCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I guess they fail to remember that we also have to get these residents to their room, change their clothes (because of the lack of "undignified" clothing protectors), provide oral care, toilet them if...

  6. Stupid Rules...

    hkendrick1987 replied to CoffeemateCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1. Clean, sweep, and mop up the dining room after the residents eat supper....because it shouldn't be housekeeping's responsibility. So, please tell me why it is that we hire housekeepers in the first...

  7. Anybody have a night PCT job & school/clinicals during the day?

    hkendrick1987 replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Students

    I work Sat, Sun, and Mon nights, and i'm currently in RN school. It's not easy, and if you weren't in a situation that REQUIRED you to do so (such as being a single parent, like myself), I wouldn't...

  9. Hate my job, discouraged and sore!

    hkendrick1987 replied to CNATylerTX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've done this particular kind of work for nearly 5 years, and I can honestly say that i'm still not at the point of being burnt out. I get terribly frustrated with the fact that there is a lack of...

  10. Single mother having trouble balancing time

    hkendrick1987 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm a young, single mother pursuing my AAS. I'm doing fairly well in school, but I feel as if i'm completely neglecting my daughter. I know that in the long run, this will be for the better, but I...

  11. CNAs doing things not under licensure?

    hkendrick1987 replied to student29349's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In Kentucky, it isn't uncommon at all for CNA's to perform these types of tasks. They're trained in a hospital setting to do these things, and it's actually part of their responsibilities in some...

  12. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    hkendrick1987 replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Please don't let the snide comments from one bitter person influence your entire way of thinking. Though she may be a doctor, I can assure you, just like every other human being on the face of this...

  13. what should i do?

    hkendrick1987 replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Go to community college. Many of them offer a variety of degree options on the cheaper end of the spectrum. Just be sure that whatever knocked you out of the game the first time around isn't still an...

    hkendrick1987 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently pursuing my AAS, and i've been a CNA for nearly 5 years. Having the experience in the field that I do has helped tremendously in my
