    Cardiac tech

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

    Same here. We did a handful of them, took a quick class, and that's it. After we complete the EKG, it gets handed off to the nurse and a copy is sent to the doctor. The doctor interprets it. So to...

    How many CNAs do you have on your floor?

    Paws2people replied to crx971's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my hospital, there are many units (ICU, CCU, etc) where the CNA's are not allowed to perform ADL's unless the nurse is present helping. The nurse and CNA will pair up and work together. TEAMWORK...

    Just changed my classes from EMT to CNA, need some advice

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

    Here in NY, paid EMT jobs are hard to come by. Most are volunteer jobs. However, CNA jobs are a dime a dozen. I haven't heard of any CNA online courses. Probably because a lot of the training is hands...

    I messed up on my interview, feeling terrible :(

    Charge nurses double standards

    Paws2people replied to passive sambo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, I know the OP is a CNA... That was my point. It looks to be an Alllnurses glitch of some kind. I'm not the only one who sees it. It's only visible to me in the original post

    Charge nurses double standards

    Paws2people replied to passive sambo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hmmm. If the OP is a CNA, why do I see the credentials BSN, RN after their name in the original post? I'm not sure if this is a glitch or what, because it's not following their name in the other posts...

    CNA License

    That was the physical certificate from Prometric. It's on a flimsy piece of paper... Not an actual "license

    CNA to PCT

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

    Generally a PCT is a CNA who has phlebotomy and EKG certifications. You can take a national test from say the NHA, and they will "certify" you after you take the PCT course. Or if you work in a...

    Best lotion for dry hands?

    Paws2people replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love the homemade vegan kinds on Etsy. They come in a variety of scents. After using those, I'll never use store bought ones

    Licensed Nurse or Vet Nurse (tech)

    Paws2people replied to Greyson's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Which is why in other countries, Australia for example, LVT's are referred to as NURSES. The OP is clearly annoyed at their experience with the vet and this is the way to

    Do I get paid for orientation??

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

    Just ask your manager. That's the only way to know for sure. Write down all the questions you have before hand, that way they will be fresh in your memory while you are asking. In the future I would...

    Paws2people replied to eelise11's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wait... so you are an LPN, yet they are short staffed with CNA's so now you're working as a CNA? I like how it's your "fault" they are short and your punishment is to be a CNA now. Gee that makes...

    You'll be fine. I'm sure down the line you'll be able to use them as a reference. I would send them a letter either mail or email thanking them for their understanding, showing your gratitude for...

    36:1 ratio?

    Paws2people replied to FNPwannabe123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are more mistakes other than passing meds a nurse can make. Also, not all med errors are from "passing." Many meds aren't taken orally either. The CNA's do all the meds? That's great. So now...

    Which unit has the most code blues?

    Paws2people replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    Late at night the cafeteria is a hot spot for Code M's. They're all fighting over the last pastry or pizza slice! That or we have pregnant women who are told to walk around to induce labor. Somehow...

    36:1 ratio?

    Paws2people replied to FNPwannabe123's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just realized I feel even worse for the nurse with 72 patients! That is the perfect combo to make a huge med error.
