OK, Thank you.

The teachers numbers are only off a few numbers. (or I should say MY numbers are off by a few numbers) I just want to make sure I pass the CNA test by answering with accuracy should one of the questions be, at what point do you notify the nurse. W...

When you do a shadow, do you get paid for it? I mean how do we know that's just not a way to get free labor out of someone? (Just a thought)

Glycerine82 What do you mean when you said "even though we're allowed to only use the sanitizer unless our hands are visibly soiled." ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Someone please correct me if IM wrong but it seems to me that if OBRA intentions was to improve the quality of life for residents then shouldn't they have put a limit on the ratio of residents to CNA's ? (and if there is one, please let me know wher...

You CAN NOT be tired, I just got here.

All you people make me scared to become a CNA, but I'm gonna do it anyway. If I'm doing something the wrong way, I don't mind being told about it in a respectful way. I'm not there to be your best friend, I'm there to do a job, and If I call out for ...
