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...
No we just had our own textbooks that we were able to write our own notes in. Sometimes our instructor gave us papers that went along with a chapter that we were studying but other then that we only...
My husband had recently lost his full time job so I have been trying to add hours and clients to try to help our situation. I work with clients that I range from 2 hours 4hours and 8 hours. I just got...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Maybe I'm over sensitive but does it drive any other CNA nuts when you get people that start to talk to you about being a CNA and they say being A CNA is not all that hard why do I have to take a...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
