  1. Flirty co-workers

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Update time. For the most part, things have gotten quiet at work. But, there is a reason for that. Susan was flat out fired because she was caught, by the administrator, trying to get me to kiss her...

  2. B/P Cuff and Stethoscope reccomendations?

    rivershark2005 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Littmann II SE Lightweight, personally. WIA paid for mine and I got it for $55 in a scrub shop. I have since seen them cheaper online, but what the hey, I didn't pay for it. My mom is an RT...

  3. Flirty co-workers

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    BrisonL: Yes, almost everything a male does can be misconstrued as flirting. That is why we have to be so careful in this field. Sexual harassment complaints have been filed for something as simple as...

  4. Flirty co-workers

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Today went well. Susan wasn't there. The DON and Administrator had a follow-up sit-down with me today. Asked if things had improved, let me know that it will be a while before I work with Susan again,...

  5. Pervy patients?

    rivershark2005 replied to sjbrk's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Three of the male residents at the facility I work for will get turned on when being cared for by a few of the more "busty" ladies. One of them will ask for stimulation while another will ask for...

  6. Flirty co-workers

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Paws2people - Around here, the healthcare facilities are kind of priviledged as far as information goes. Everyone that works there (be it an LTC or the hospital) knows everything that happens in town,...

  7. Questions regarding my mental health history and applying for a CNA license

    rivershark2005 replied to MrDmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First off, relax. What happened would cause a clinical depression in 90% of women. Now, as far as whether it should cause a problem, in all honesty, it shouldn't. In December 2010, I was diagnosed...

  8. Flirty co-workers

    rivershark2005 replied to rivershark2005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I came into work this afternoon, there was an in-service on sexual harassment. Nicole talked to the DON and Unit Manager this morning on the phone. I have known Nicole since high school, and she...

  9. Help w/ Scrubs

    rivershark2005 replied to ehess20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I looked at allheart when I read your post earlier but didn't see inseams listed. Have you considered having your scrubs made by a professional seamstress? You should be able to find the proper...

  10. New job

    rivershark2005 replied to Lame's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My first few days where I work, I felt the exact same way. During my clinicals, I only changed two briefs, neither of which were dirty. My first day on the job, within five minutes of arriving, I was...

  11. Is she trying to intimidate me?

    rivershark2005 replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    THIS. Believe me, from experience. When I was taking AP1, there was five or six girls that were planning on transferring to another school (the school I'm in now) for nursing. Had I stuck with it...

  12. Working in a christian place while being an atheist?

    rivershark2005 replied to mls4455's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Try being an Atheist in a Catholic hospital. I worked at a hospital for almost a year, first as a security officer, then as a PCT in psych. While I was a PCT, we were encouraged to have "religious...

  13. Stop Whining and Go Away!

    rivershark2005 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't have a complainer, per se, but I do have a clinger. Well, two of them, actually. I don't know what their problem is, but they attach at my hip any time I work with them and won't let go. I...

  14. False vitals data???

    rivershark2005 replied to jval's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My second day where I work, one pt refused to let me take his vitals. One of the CNAs that had been there a while told me what to write down. I didn't. I went to the LPN for that hall and told her...

  15. Pre- Nursing Student can't get into BSN nursing program

    rivershark2005 replied to Bri0910's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ULM? Just curious. If you haven't already, and if you can afford it, apply at some of the schools in South Arkansas. UAM is supposed to be a great program, as is SAU. Both are within driving distance...

  16. Fall Semester 2012

    rivershark2005 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Renting would have only saved me maybe $150, and I should be able to get back $300 (what the bookstore manager told me) at the end of the semester. I asked about renting, but at my school it's...

  17. Fall 2012 A&P2 students where are you??!!

    rivershark2005 replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm enrolled for A&P 2 this semester. I start Wednesday, with my first A&P 2 class being Thursday. I'm also taking Comp 2, Intermediate Algebra, Nutrition and Diet, and Music Appreciation. I...

    This semester I have A&P 2 with lab, Comp 2, Intermediate Algebra, Music Appreciation, and Nutirtion and Diet. Just went and bought books yesterday. Switching from a community college to a...

  19. Nursing Scrubs: The Material Makes A Difference

    rivershark2005 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My facility requires that I wear a certain shade of blue. Not navy, not ciel, but a bright blue. They give every new employee two sets of scrubs. Cherokee is what they stock. So far, I like them. I...

  20. Has anyone ever worked as a CNA while going to nursing school full time?

    rivershark2005 replied to Alexandralw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm only taking pre-reqs, but I'll be doing it. Not working full time, of course...well, not totally full time. LOL I'll be working 40 hours one week and 16 hours the next week because my supervisor...

  21. I'm currently a caretaker, with no college or nursing experience.

    rivershark2005 replied to brandielizabeth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And check to see if you state offers something like a Workforce Investment Act. That's how I went to my NA class. Here, they pay for the class and basic nursing supplies once you're accepted....

  22. CNA frustrated with co-workers!!!

    rivershark2005 replied to tenn_bsnstudent's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Monday was my last day of orientation. I worked three different halls in four days, working the same hall both Sunday and Monday. On Friday, my very first day, I was on a mostly female hall, most of...

  23. Anyone NOT feel like they got hit by a truck?

    rivershark2005 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So far my only problem has been sore feet and my back. But I think that's more because I'm getting used to "normal" shoes. I've worn work boots for the past 12 years, so getting used to sport shoes is...

  24. Moving to Arkansas from Cali

    rivershark2005 replied to kandersonlopez's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in PB for a while. I was a security officer. Rent-a-cop. LOL Didn't like it very much. Wouldn't even move there. Ended up quitting the job two months in. Stuttgart is nicer, from what I've...

  25. Should I keep looking for a CNA job or go to LVN school?

    rivershark2005 replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've moved with 12 hours hotice, so a week is plenty of time. And that was with an infant and a toddler in the house. Congratulation on getting inot nursing school! I am hoping to be giving the same...
