  1. Lost Person Needs Some Help

    clarinets posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This may sound redundant. I managed to get a nurse upset and get reported for something I did not know. I also get the run around.. I want to make sure I know what I am asking as well as doing. Here...

  2. Lost Person Needs Some Help

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

    Some nurse told the nursing supervisor that I was not doing things right. I went to the nursing admin office afterwards and she told me what some of the nurses were saying about me. They said I was...

  3. Mistakes to avoid in clinicals..

    clarinets posted a topic in General Students

    Planning to enroll in a nursing program out here in California... Pretty simple question.. What mistakes do you notice by other student nurses when in clinicals, that I should

    clarinets posted a topic in General Students

    Learned a lesson today. 1. I have to speak up for myself..(still working on appropriate times..) Don't rely on other people to speak up for me. 2. Never ask a resident to train me how she wants...

  8. Mistakes to avoid in clinicals..

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Students

    I understand both sides of the game. Having been a student in the CNA program, and will be again in the nursing program, I was truly turned off by some of the nurses' behaviors. I did not get any...

  9. Rule of thumb on asking questions in clinicals..or new job orientation

    clarinets posted a topic in General Students

    Is there a 'Rule of thumb' in asking questions while in clinicals or at a new job? Do I look it up first in a manual/then ask if I cannot find what I am looking for or vice versa? Or neither? Frankly...

  11. Rule of thumb on asking questions in clinicals..or new job orientation

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Students

    From your post I assume that you are currently a student? And, perhaps your last job was as a CNA/tech? (Just wanting to get a handle on where you are). What types of questions do you ask? Are...

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the clarification.. The reason why I asked is because I have in the past did not know something when in a middle of an assignment or situation and needed an answer to questions and...

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Students

    Mostly where things are?Or in this case were...How do they(staff and residents) like things done? Current CNA and will be a nursing student...Last 2 jobs, seemed as if they were forced by boss to...

  17. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

    clarinets posted a topic in General Nursing

    ....or am I dreaming? The question is pretty self explanatory. As an example, just the other day, I had a co-worker refuse a request from a resident and the director, to take on that resident and...

  20. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

  22. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    I agree totally. In jobs that where more money was made and better benefits, they did and put more effort in their jobs and took more initiative. Where I work now, it is scarce. Quiet at meetings,...

  23. Does how much money we make and benefits really matter

    clarinets replied to clarinets's topic in General Nursing

    That was an example of what unfortunately happened the other day. If the salary was higher and the benefits were better, would the caregiver taken on that request from the director and resident.. Or...
