    Cnas are looked down upon

    Paws2people replied to Amiles92's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow. Ok, you are working, therefore you should of stood if there were no chairs left, or gotten yourself/asked for another chair from elsewhere. I stand, run, etc my whole shift. It's not uncommon....

    Certificate Number

    Paws2people replied to Karn1213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can you go online and look it up on your state's CNA licensing/certification site? All employers are able to do so, and you can too. It's public

    Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    Paws2people replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Recently my coworker got pulled over on her way to work for a taillight out. She told him she was a nurse, she was in scrubs. She wasn't aware the light was broken. He gave her a ticket

    Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    Paws2people replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Agreed. 9/10x for me a 1:1 Suicide is easier to watch than a Safety Watch with a crazy 90 yr old lady w/ a UTI, who is climbing out of bed, punching, spitting, pulling her foley, and lines, etc. Add...

    Cna agency and sick day issues.

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

    If this job is making you physically ill, it's not worth it. I'd look for something else, and maybe in a different setting than home care. Being a a nurse is very different than being a CNA, so if...

    Should I report the person who scheduled me to a patient I should not have been sitting?

    Paws2people replied to Rayrayma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Always ask the NURSE for report. Lesson learned. If I had a dollar for every time an aide gave me the wrong or no report on a 1:1, I'd be

    Paws2people replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    Out of curiosity, is this a Union job? I've noticed at these places, dead weight staff is in a higher abundance. My hospital is a Union, and yes, we have many employees like this. No one wants to work...

    Paws2people replied to allyjay13's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's similar to a regular CNA job, vitals, ADL's, etc, and you'll do all those tasks but also other things focusing on Cardiac Caths. You'll do many EKG's and prepare, clip, and wash the patients for...

    Confused CNA

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

    As a CNA, you will see and do worse things than changing "diapers." Personally, I prefer changing pts to many other things... *Oh that trach... So invitingly juicy, and greenish-brown, thick, warm,...

    Are you a CNA or an RN? Based on your last post, it appears your "Asian" family chose nursing for you. If your heart is not in this profession, you'll never be happy or satisfied with your life. You...

    CNA: CA to NJ. Issue with Reciprocity

    Paws2people replied to irishgirl0821's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
