    Burnout as a CNA and the impact on nursing

    Paws2people replied to YKA9727's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    C.Diff Waste on Floor?

    Paws2people replied to newtonursing123's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The no gloves and lack of handwashing bothers me more than the trash bags. After all, the trash is just sitting there. Those unwashed/ungloved hands are going from room to room. Patient to patient....

    CNAs sleeping on the job... What can I do as a new nurse?

    Paws2people replied to jessica0rae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have management address it first in a group meeting, but tell them you don't want the CNA's knowing the complaints came from you. Then when they are sleeping, wake them up and say, "You fell asleep, I...

    Paws2people replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My fav are the ones who are a CNA, home health care aide, or Animal Vet Tech. They say they are "nurses," contradict everything, watch every move staff makes like a hawk, and dictate how things should...

    Who cleans the poo?

    Paws2people replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing
