    Paws2people replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

    Vets are doctors of Veterinary Medicine. They are PCP's and surgeons as well. When I worked for one, I addressed him as "Doc," because he IS A DOCTOR. Vet Techs assist in those surgeries, do...

    How difficult is it to land a hospital job?

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

    I had zero CNA experience before this hospital job. Three other hospitals hired me as well. I chose mine because of the Union. However, I worked in an animal hospital for a decade. While I realize it...

    I can do your job, you can't do mine.

    Paws2people replied to crobson221's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Exactly. It is not reciprocated. If you were to get hurt or quit, they would replace you. Would your replacement be as good as you? Odds are no. Would administration care? Odds are, NO. Maybe you...

    Do you think I failed my CNA Exam?

    Paws2people replied to kmw716's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd assume it is a fail since you didn't follow directions. The right side was a "bold step" when I took the exam. However, if it was based on points and everything else was correct, maybe you passed....

    Please help!

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

    Medical Assistants often times find it hard to find jobs. Anytime I hear someone wanting to go that route, I immediately think, "No! Don't do it!" If you are going to spend that much time and money on...

    Paws2people replied to infinite0meow's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with a poster above. If we can't vent here, where can we vent? Side note: If I see the patient is going while I'm changing the bed over and over, I place chucks in the front and back to...

    Max pt load? Florida

    Paws2people replied to hwarner1995's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My unit at a hospital holds 31. It's not uncommon to have the whole unit, or half. I would never walk out. Worse thing you just do the best you can. It's unrealistic that you'd be able to give quality...

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

    Hmm... Ok, so if you left and didn't return, then that can be considered abandonment. I doubt it is jail worthy though. It doesn't matter if there were 5 aides or 1; you still left for the day without...
