  5. Will I ever get out of LTC or am I doomed?

    student forever replied to JZ_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    student forever replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. What kind of shoes do you wear for work?

    student forever replied to missie1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    SAS sneakers. They have a cushiony insert that I remove each night so the shoes will air out better. I didn't do that the first month and I thought the shoes were getting mold!! But that ended when I...

  16. of course is free training, but...Med tech

    student forever posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have signed up for a free Med-Tech course at work. It seems the ALF's are allowed to use cna's for this work because we do not "administer" meds, just give them their meds and they take them by...
