    I'm the worst CNA they ever had

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

    Is this standard for home health? I didn't realize housekeeping and a CNA were the same thing. I don't recall any training in my course on maid duties. It definitely was not on the state board

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    Paws2people replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    When they ring on the dot for pain meds. When they throw things, like their water, their call bell, etc. When their own nurse tells them they aren't due for meds, so they ask another nurse or aide to...

    "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    Paws2people replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I worked a nurse who literally would stand in front of the pantry with a water pitcher and yell, "Where is my aide? I need an aide to fill this. Aide? Aide?!" Meanwhile I was doing vitals on 15...

    Your opinion please

    Paws2people replied to AngelKissed857's topic in General Nursing

    And you, of course, would not step in to HELP get the "task" done QUICKER? Then the deceased would be prepared properly in a timely matter for their grieving family to view. It's all about

    Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    Paws2people replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    Odds are you still need to the roll the pt to put on the brief. Not every woman can lift her hips. Especially if they are larger. So whether you are rolling them for a bedpan or a brief, they still...

    Is anything at your work that puzzles you

    Paws2people replied to pras's topic in General Nursing

    Not job related, but what puzzles me is where is the OP? Why do people start threads and never come back and participate in

    Average number of patients

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

    It's always too many. Whether it's 12 or 25. I would like to give thorough, adequate care and take my time. That never happens. Sadly it's at the expense of the

    Confused. CNA VS. Nurse Technician, what are the differences?

    Paws2people replied to Cinnibun2618's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldn't call a nursing home moderately

    Night shift or day shift ?

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

    Night shift. I wouldn't do my job for a penny less. The shift differential makes a world of a difference. Days equals more work for less pay. Nope. Not for me. Every person is different. I'm sure the...

    Deliberate sabotage?

    Paws2people replied to greenerpastures's topic in General Nursing

    Oh that's nice, so now when there is a rapid/code, you don't have vital equipment in the room. An emergency can happen at any time; when management removes the "mandatory object," 5 minutes later that...

    My Commentary on myself, a CNA

    Paws2people replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Gee I wish I only had the whole floor (31pts) 2x.

    Do Male Nurses Get More Respect?

    Paws2people replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you one thing I've seen. Sometimes the patients listen better to a male nurse! A few times the females at my job have tried to get patients to comply to one thing or another, and they flat...

    Need advice on nursing/pt relationship post discharge

    Paws2people replied to NurseJackie87's topic in General Nursing

    Let's fast forward a year from now... Say the relationship did work out. You are out to dinner with him, and you see your coworker/supervisor/etc. They recognize him. Now what? Or you want to bring...

    What is this condition called in bariatric patients?

    Paws2people replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, but the OP saw it again recently, in a live patient... At least I THINK the pt was

    How long till I get the call?

    Paws2people replied to Cruz.Cookie's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    It's only been a few days. I'd wait a week then call the relative (don't text). I'm sure the DON is very busy. Plus while this is a major priotity for you, it is probably something further down on the...

    help please

    Paws2people replied to sashie23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You need a résumé template. You can get many versions online, at the library, or on Microsoft Word. There are CNA specific templates if you Google "CNA or Nursing Assistant Résumé and...

    Will my scars from cutting be a problem?

    Paws2people replied to S.F Skylar's topic in General Nursing

    Just wear a long sleeved shirt. I wouldn't dream of wearing nothing under my scrub top. I need a barrier in case any "fluids" seep through. If anyone happens to see the scars and ask, keep your reply...

    AA meeting and addicts

    Paws2people replied to RNMSN51's topic in Nurses Recovery

    An alcoholic is also an addict. Whether someone is addicted to alcohol or cocaine, they are still an addict. After all, both of you are there because you are

    Switching to day shift blues

    Paws2people replied to Scoops's topic in Health, Stress Management

    As I was reading your post I felt as though I could of written it myself. Stay on nights. If you are still wanting to make the switch to days in a few months, consider another unit. Do some OT there...

    Not treated fairly

    Paws2people replied to ntvan07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Maybe it's a personality conflict. Often this overrules work ethic/performance. Did you speak with any of the nurses to find out their opinion? After the pt was transferred to the recliner, her o2...
