  1. Cna background checks for work?

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

    That's good to know. I think if a place fires someone because they left something off of a resume they were looking for some reason to begin

  2. If I don't get this job, I'm done.

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

    What amazes me is that most every place that teaches medical related fields tells their prospective students that field is in demand. Heard it for pharmacy tech and CNA. Everyone I knew that went to...

  3. Cna background checks for work?

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

    I also want to say that people have been fired for lying on a resume after it's been found out. You might want to tell them you forgot about McDonalds just to be on the safe

  4. Just got fired -

    Poochiewoochie replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My Mom had dementia and she was always saying strange things to the nurses and CNAs and had a lot of conspiracy theories going on in her demented head. She could also be nasty. She would tell them to...

  5. Sick of this

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

    All I can say is I'm glad you cared about your residents. And no, this type of behavior from staff is not just an isolated incident. I'm glad you reported it-maybe if more had the guts you did it...

  6. What won't nursing/medicine be doing in 10 years?

    Poochiewoochie replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Especially when the other person has just had explosive diarrhea in the shared toilet after taking all the laxatives that post surgical patients are given. Would be okay if the toilet was cleaned out...

  7. AANA urges Medicare to consider hospital anesthesiology efficiency measures

    Poochiewoochie replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You're the one that hijacked the thread when you complained about how they placed initials after your

  8. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Neglect is neglect. Whether falls are preventable they should be doing everything they can do to prevent them. In my Mom's case they didn't and I have the CMS survey results to back me up. She was a...

  9. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Dementia patients are more than a chapter in some nursing book. People here seem to think they are experts just because they went to school. I don't begrudge you for doing so but if you REALLY want to...

  10. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen people working at the facility where my Mom worked at that had no clue about dementia patients and their behavior. Just because a person is a nurse or a CNA doesn't mean they are they most...

  11. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of my Mom for 8 years so don't patronize me. Here is the Nursing Home Resident's Bill of Rights. Some of you who work on the industry need to brush up on it. The right to freedom from...

  12. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    The bottom line is this: if you are violating the residents right by lying and deceiving to deliver care you'd better hope that you don't get caught. And just because your demented residents act like...

  13. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    You still don't get it and I guess you never will. It's not about the "caring" nurse, it's about the resident who has rights. I'm getting a little sick of the "caring" nurse routine. If my Mother had...

  14. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    If they want to do that it's their right to. It's not about YOU and how YOU feel about it-it's the resident's right to do whatever they chose to regardless if they are unable to make safe, rational...

  15. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I know and it makes me angry. Angry because they use lies and deception to get a resident to do what they want them to do so it makes their job easier. Or trying to dictate that one shouldn't smoke or...

  16. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    So you would disallow your grandmother what ever pleasures she has in life just because you don't approve of them? How

  17. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Do it's better to lie and bully a patient into complying with your wishes? I hope no one catches on to what you are doing because you'll be out of a job if they do. Residents have rights-who cares...

  18. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for posting this. Lying to the residents is the same as treating them as children IMO. If Mom doesn't want to take a shower that's her RIGHT. I think a lot of nurses and CNA's in their quest to...

  19. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    Poochiewoochie replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    No offense but it's not a question of what the nurses allow. Residents still retain their rights to make their own decisions whether you or anyone else approve of their choices. And after seeing how...

  20. Before You Take An Elderly Family Member To The ER

    Poochiewoochie replied to sharpeimom's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know my blood type so no worries here,

  21. "For-profit" schools... As bad as they say?

    Poochiewoochie replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    All for profits have a high pass rate and say they help you find a job. A lot of places will not even look at a resume if you went to a for profit school. Also, the teachers at these schools are...

  22. A patient wants to know your thoughts on frequent fliers...

    Poochiewoochie replied to Clusterhead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the OP-I had two herniated discs in 2011 that caused excruciating pain. I had no clue as to what was causing my severe neck pain-at the time the ER diagnosed it as a neck sprain. I do have a PCP...

  23. Staffing during hurricanes?

    Poochiewoochie replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    That's not right. What makes the doctor's families any more special than the nurses? As for the food-they SHOULD provide it for

  24. HIPAA Violation?
