    studentnursemon86 replied to Corpsman514's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in the ER and half the time we don't get brakes. I usually make sure I have some sort of trail mix and a lot of water. Sometimes that's all I will have for 12 hours. Lately I've been putting...

  2. CNA/Patient Ratio

    studentnursemon86 replied to Tahiti's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The worst I had was 50-1 and I had one LPN with me on the verge of retirement. That was at a LTC facility. In med-surg it was 9-1. Low level cardiac unit was 12-1 (funny because that's a higher level...

  3. Last name on ID badge?

    studentnursemon86 replied to ravenpuff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work in an emergency department with a lot of behavioral health patients (we have a specialty BH-ED), and some patients make me uncomfortable. But let's face it, most of those patients won't...

  4. Please, don't be "that" aide.

    studentnursemon86 replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Every place has this aide. I was working middles at a nursing home and actually got called into the office because a bully aide said my patients always had saturated briefs when I left my shift. I...

  5. New PCT for a month and first night in ER

    studentnursemon86 replied to Rebel83's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Don't judge the ER on one bad experience. I've been working in an ER as a tech for over a year now and I had to go through a month of orientation. Once I was off orientation I was still learning new...

  6. Chemistry/Which kind?

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently in a community college. I want to take Chemistry next semester. I don't need it for my Associate's degree, but I will eventually when I go for my BSN. I am thinking physiological...

  7. Chemistry/Which kind?

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all the advice. I'm meeting with my advisor at the community college and checking into Penn State where I plan to fishing the BSN. I want to do the ADN program first and I figure I'll do it...

  8. ER tech

    studentnursemon86 replied to FutureRNGreen's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  9. Its nice to get some recognition.

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    M a tech in an ER. The other night there were 18 people in our waiting room and one had chest pain so I took him back for an EKG. Usually we would do the EKG and they would wait to see the doctor for...

  10. cna pay

    studentnursemon86 replied to tiff.a's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    PA I make $14.80/hr in a hospital. I hear nursing homes are between $14-$16/hr. Home care was the worst at $8-$10 an hour, it wasn't even worth it for the extra

  11. Crazy busy floor...need to vent

    studentnursemon86 replied to MsKris_CarolinaGirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Honestly, if you come in and your patients/residents are soaking wet with urine, you need to report it. Just because you are coming in at 9, someone has to be responsible for your group before you...

  12. Career CNA's

    studentnursemon86 replied to futureLVN40's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've been a CNA since 2005. I have worked in nursing homes, home care, and at a hospital. The hospital is my favorite gig, and I've been doing this for almost 8 years now. I'm currently working in the...

  13. If anyone knows the answer to this, please let me know

    studentnursemon86 replied to thebeloved's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe an LPN program (my school has a program that goes over the course of 12 months, including a summer semester), but I don't think 12 months is enough time to get in all the clinical training that...
