  2. Roaches At work

    My question is what reasons do you have to share with us where you would not be telling the DON that there are roaches. I can't think of one intelligant and logical reason why you would not tell your...
  3. CNA classes

  7. getting hours

    Thank you Nick. This was not so much a question but just talking how different home care hours are compared to other areas. I had to work 13 days straight to make 40 hours compared to LTC is usually 5...

  10. Would it help to make a check list of what you have to do in an assessment and keep it in your pocket so that you don't forget anything. I believe if you just find a way that makes since to you and do...
  11. Picked on at Work

    Like I always tell my kids when they come to me and say their friends at school are picking on them. Ignore the bad behavior, they do it to get a rise out of you and like a PP said it is nothing but...
  12. Is this abuse?

    Unless the resident is in physical danger I don't know if I would confront the CNA especially if I was like OP and being just a student. Go and tell someone definetly but I don't think confronting...
  13. Is this abuse?

    I'd talk to your instructor but I'd make sure you just givethem the facts of what you saw. Tell them i saw this and thought I needed to talk to you about it. I would NOT say anything like I think I...
  14. First CNA job

    Blood pressure can be tricky and I feel that it can not be absolutely 100% perfect. As long as you are within a good range its OK. If you got 120/80 and someone else would have gotten 122/82 I dont...

    We really can not know this since we do not know you companies policy. BUT I would think if you are showing signs of malaria i think they might work with you. You'll just have to talk to them and be...
  17. Help From Experienced CNAs !

    Like I said if you have a draw sheet you can pull him towards you first. That way you will have a little more leverage to be able to roll him
  18. Sometimes our best and good intentions to help people will turn around and bite us. Sorry this is happening to you. Hire a good attorney and maybe they can see that the women really has no case...
  19. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    I think that my family and some of my sweet clients would beg to differ with you, but hey what do we know. You are the one who obviously know the mysteries of the world and the answer to some of...
  20. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    I think that attitude and how people act is personality but it has nothing to do with what job they hold. I am sure you can find ride and catty people in manufacturing, lawyers, store managers,...
  21. Help From Experienced CNAs !

    I worked home care with a man with Parkinson's and gave a complete bed bath everyday. It can be a struggle but sometimes you just have to find something that works for you. Without having eyes on the...
  22. There might be other places too that might pay for or at least even part of your classes. Look into nursing homes/LTCs but also rehab and even home care agencies might be willing to help you...
  23. Congrats I hope you to well on your CNA test, and find a great CNA job. You have a great attitude that will carry you far in your nursing
  24. Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    I think about about some of these patients that you all mentioned, and can someone explain to me that if a person is so injured they can not use a bed pan why do they not have a cath instead. Maybe it...
  25. Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    I don't know if even a babies diaper put between ones legs will catch all the urine. One a babies stream and volume is a lot smaller then an adults. And as a mother how many times in the middle of the...
