    36:1 ratio?

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

    Keep looking. You have experience, so your options are greater. I am on a 31 bed unit in a hospital. Sometimes I have the whole floor and 5-6 nurses who all pitch in, and that's STILL hard and...

    How to handle my call out situation?

    Paws2people replied to Studentnurse94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would go to the funeral. What time is it on Monday though? I also work nights, and if I have something important during the following day sometimes I nap quickly when I get home, and then do what I...

    condom catheters

    Paws2people replied to 84RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sizing is everything. Always go smaller than you think. You take 3-4 adhesive preps and apply everywhere, than take them and squeeze the excess over the member letting it drip onto it. Next you put...

    My PT called 911

    Paws2people replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Emergency

    Many times we have had 1:1 or Saftey Care Assignments call 911. Sometimes they are just calling the front desk BUT think it's 911... Other times they actually manage to really call 911. We've only had...

    I am soo confused

    Paws2people replied to farangel77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The best way to move up is more education. You'll also need a good, solid résumé. I cannot tell you how crucial correct punctuation and grammar is on a résumé. That little piece of paper is the...

    While You are In Here..I May As Well Try To Go To The Bathroom....

    Paws2people replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are right. I work in a hospital, and if an employee were to leave the pt they would be in trouble. So if the RN tells the pt, "I'll go get the CNA to finish up here. You take your time," they...

    Hourly rounding. Are you kidding me?

    Paws2people replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't care if we hourly round, more staff still equals less falls and greater pt satisfaction. When will administrations "get" this?

    Same here. If we bring a fall risk to the bathroom, commode, or stand them up to use a urinal, we cannot leave them till they are back in

    Paws2people replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Housekeeping and the Maintainence Dept get away with murder where I work. They sleep (I work nights) in the lounge for hours, hang out in groups talking and fooling around, smoke ciggs and pot in the...

    Pay for parking?

    Paws2people replied to Paws2people's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the feedback. I pay $18 every 2 weeks. It seems excessive. Here's the thing: the hospital does not get that money... There's a separate company that runs the lot, does the upkeep...

    Full Moon

    How many people took a Cna class at a for profit school?

    Paws2people replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agree. The time and tuition is not compatible with a CNA certificate. Sounds like MA school, which brings me to this thought: I cannot fathom why anyone would go to MA school and spend all that...
