    Over-Restaining Patients

    chadash replied to achot chavi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree that restraints are just a unfortunate fact of life in a hospital setting. In that environment, you just don't have the ability to supervise the patient as you do in long term care. Long term...

    how many patients do you have

    chadash replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    10 to 16 seems to be about normal. I think the patients would benefit from a ratio of less than 10 to one CNA. When you calculate the time required to do each task for an average SNF patient, you...

    Differences between Medical Assistants and Registered Nurses?

    chadash replied to MA2006's topic in General Nursing

    If this is the job description of a MA, you are right, a CNA could do this. (But, frankly, I can't get a job scrubbing floors at this point ) I thought there were more skills involved, EKGs and what...
