    cna pay

    Glycerine82 replied to tiff.a's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You would make more in Boston but would have to live in boston to use the mass transit and that costs even more than the rest of the state, which is insane. I lived south of Boston and paid about...

    Report Interruption--Was I Wrong?

    Glycerine82 replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Nope, you were totally right. Of course assists can change throughout the shift, we all know that, but all she had to do was begin to transfer the patient and if she found it wasn't going well sit...

    cna pay

    Glycerine82 replied to tiff.a's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Any state where the wages are higher, the cost of living will be as well. I could not make ends meet on my income if I did not have my husbands as well. If overtime is available that's usually a way...

    Writing multiple times?

    Glycerine82 replied to loriangel14's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it should be a 3 strikes policy. I don't know that failing one or two times indicates someone will be a bad nurse, but three I feel like the person must not have gotten the education...

    Please listen!!!

    Glycerine82 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have learned quite a bit as a CNA. Mostly, because I have a passion for nursing and I use every experience I can to learn as much as I can. For example, I know that real world nursing is much...

    Glycerine82 replied to pinkessence_58467's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I worked in LTC we never, ever, ever left the wheel chairs next to the bed. (for patients who weren't capable of getting into or out of them) The mentality was that it would encourage the patient...

    Being a CNA

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just a shout out to all my fellow CNAs. Want you all to know there is nothing "Lowly" about what you (we) do. It is honorable and honest work that most people can't do. If you do it, and are good...

    Glycerine82 replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    Sorry Es!! It seems to me like the cats aren't really misbehaving, OP. They're just being cats. Has the family lightened up on the air horn? It sounds to me like the owners need training :) where...

    Glycerine82 replied to RainMom's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am glad that a lot of you know everything there is to know about smokers and how they are and why they do what they do. Judging someone for a bad habit is so helpful and kind. I bet it will make...

    Glycerine82 replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You really would have had to hear the words spoken. Often times I'll get to know a patient really well and can be heard joking, laughing even playfully yelling depending on the situation.... I've...

    Are we tyrants?

    Glycerine82 replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, I guess I am refering to the OPs post as the example. Meaning, I don't think OP is doing anything wrong. I was taking "tyrant" to mean "over protective" in that context. I don't think its...

    Glycerine82 replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    I'm not a supporter of declawing cats, but I have come to realize some people make the choice even though they would rather not. I would indeed prefer to see 4 cats who love each other and their...

    Are we tyrants?

    Glycerine82 replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would say when it comes to babies there is no such thing as being a tyrant. You are advocating for them and are pretty much their protector while they are in your care. I totally think you're...

    I'm certainly not condemning it, like I said, to each their own, I'm sure you have your reasons and I am sure you keep your cats inside and I have no doubt you love them. All I am saying is if they DO...
