  1. call light being ignored

    mvm2 replied to cnastriving2brn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree, just keep a eye on it. If it keeps happening thenI would report it. It is not fair to the other CNAs and certainly not fair to the residents if a CNA is not going to do her job. It would...

  4. Free time for night shifts for CNA and Nurse

    mvm2 replied to flod's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I doubt that they are only working an hour. Call lights are still going off for one reason or another. I doubt they are sitting around playing solitare or reading books. As for Home care it is a...

  7. Starting my CNA on the 14th!! Advice please? :)

    mvm2 replied to caskey09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to AM326's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to JeffreyT89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am sorry that you did not get the job, but for CNAs hospital jobs can be hard to get. I would look at other places like LTC, Retirement Homes, Hospice(sometimes), Home Care (which I work and love...

    mvm2 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh wow I did not even pay attention to how old the topic was... I seen there was one person that replied, so I did not even look at how old this post was. There should be a way to not be able to post...

  16. Challenging the CNA Exam in Florida?

    mvm2 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I see you are already a rn? is that right? then I think that indeed you should be able to skip the classes and pass with flying colors. If you go on youtube to 4yourcna, there are videos of all the...

  17. LPN vs PCT?

    mvm2 replied to tay321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was thinking the exact same thing. If they are asking if a LPN wants to do a CNAs job then I can understand it. But a CNA can not do the things that a LPN is trained to

  18. How difficult is CNA training

  20. Starting CNA classes on May 6th

    mvm2 replied to lossholly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you are realistic as to what CNAs do, I do not think it will stop you from wanting to be a nurse. CNA and nursing for that matter can have a lot of the unpleasent tasks, you just have to know and...

  21. Does your facility send someone home every shift?

    mvm2 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  23. I love being a CNA, but HATE lifting, transferring and etc.

    mvm2 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to sucess2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    E.R. I am sorry that your states test did not go well. Was it the written or the skills part that you were unprepared for? If it was the skills part, on youtube if you go to 4yourcna, they show you...

    mvm2 replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
