  1. 'Nurses eat their young' is an understatement. What has your experience been?

    cbOmahaNE posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe this has been covered previously, but I am finding that it doesn't matter where I am, Nurses and CNAs are not very friendly to new hires. My first experience was in clinicals. Not one of...

  2. 'Nurses eat their young' is an understatement. What has your experience been?

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

    I wasn't going to feed her, I should have made that clear. I understand what NPO means. The lunchroom doubled as the rec

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

    Weren't you a student

  4. 'Nurses eat their young' is an understatement. What has your experience been?

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

    The TV is in the lunchroom, and another CNA told me to take her in there. I guess I should have mentioned that I wasn't planning on feeding her. I sincerely hope that you are more welcoming to new...

  5. Thoughts please regarding Chem and A&P I

    cbOmahaNE replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now I get your dilemma. It wasn't Lear at first. Take A&P I

  6. Is it okay that I hate LTC?

    cbOmahaNE replied to fresitachulita's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm currently a LTC CNA and I hate it. It doesn't affect the care I give, but before and after work, I dread going back. I, too, hate the hopelessness. I can only hear 'why don't I die?' so many times...

  7. What color scrubs would you wear for an interview

    cbOmahaNE replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is also what I would suggest (wearing whatever they where in the unit you're interviewing for). They can picture you in the role, plus you've already bought a set in case you get the

  8. Thinking about going to Nursing School, should I be a CNA first??

    cbOmahaNE replied to mariecandela1985's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I volunteered in an ER and on a Med/Surg floor for experience. It

  9. Thinking about going to Nursing School, should I be a CNA first??

    cbOmahaNE replied to mariecandela1985's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would never want to work with a nurse who didn't think being a CNA first is of any benefit. The nurses I have worked with who never worked as CNAs have beyond ridiculous expectations and think...

  10. Having A Hard Time Finding A Job Cause Of My Background

    cbOmahaNE replied to TheNatural_Nurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You need to call the court and find out how to get the record corrected (its not likely to be expunged). I have a misdemeanor worthless check charge from 7-8 years ago and had no problem getting a...

  11. How to Survive the Night Shift??

    cbOmahaNE replied to sixela21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I also don't recommend sleeping on the job either. It just seems unprofessional to me. The family is probably making accommodations that they think are necessary to keep good employees, but you can...

  12. Night shift Med/Surg CNA advice!

    cbOmahaNE replied to NaeRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is great advice. I sometimes struggle with this. I'm always triaging in my head when I need to focus on the task at

  13. Feel like I'm about to be fired from first CNA job.

    cbOmahaNE replied to MrDmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in two different facilities and it's all the same. I moved to overnights so I don't have to deal with this kind of crap anymore. I'd start looking for a new job and chalk it up to

  14. I just took the nklex like 10minutes ago

    cbOmahaNE replied to Boots21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You know it's an NCLEX, right? It worries me that you don't even know the name of the exam you're taking. Missing little details like that add up in patient

  15. CNA VS LPN

    cbOmahaNE replied to mz_tonep's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Try volunteering to get experience. That's what I did. Don't waste that

  16. Department Wars

    cbOmahaNE replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is why I moved to overnights. I cannot comprehend why people in Nursing are such narcs. And between shifts it's worse. Instead of complaining about everything the evening shift didn't do before I...

  17. What do you all think? Good idea or bad idea.

    cbOmahaNE replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a CNA and a Medication Aide in Nebraska. I work at two different Nursing Homes and the level of care I'm allowed to provide differs between the facilities. In one, I do everything except...

  18. toileting & bathing older adults

    cbOmahaNE replied to marsy82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My advice is to take notes while you're being orientated to the facility and the patients. Everyone has their own preferences and elderly patients can get very agitated if they have to repeat the same...

  19. Getting first CNA job: Help!

    cbOmahaNE posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got my CNA qualification in November and started volunteering weekly in a hospital Emergency Department to get experience shortly after. I also have a great resume, plus three years experience...
