  1. I am considering not being a CNA anymore...

    jb2u replied to Poi Dog's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I understand your frustration. You said you thought you might make a small difference....Well, I am willing to bet you have made a difference in many of the residents'

  2. Cynical after 3 Clinicals :( Is there another career choice?

    jb2u replied to Starletta's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my experience there is just way too much to do and not enough time. You may want to look into home health, private duty, or hospice care. At least it's one to one care. Being a CNA is a challenge....

  3. Do you get discipline for not wearing ID badge?

    jb2u replied to tavia_yeung's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just so I am clear...you actually believe that the nursing profession hasn't progressed further because we do not want our last names on our badges? It has nothing to do with the fact that the public...

    jb2u replied to tavia_yeung's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i still refuse to have my last name on my badge. it is not a requirement nor necessary. it has nothing to do with accountability. i am an assistant nurse manager. i have no problem with...

    Unfortunately No one can answer this question for you on here. According to the terms of service for this website, which you agreed to upon signing up with allnurses, you are not allowed to seek legal...

  7. First time showering a guy. Nervous.

    jb2u replied to BabyGirlx3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is nothing funny about making rude comments. If he makes such a comment, I'd say, "look, I give you respect and I expect you to respect me, too." Letting things go can escalate things. To add to...

  8. Do you get discipline for not wearing ID badge?

    jb2u replied to tavia_yeung's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Name badges should be worn. NO, the last name is not necessary!!! My pt will know my name and tittle. That is what they need to know. If they have a problem with me...my boss knows my last name!!!...

  10. Is it me or the nurse?

    jb2u replied to emily12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You will have good days and you will have bad days. That is just life. I've seen nurses crying because of the workload!! Many see nursing as a "great way to make money" and find out that you work hard...

  11. Where can I go from here?

    jb2u replied to scottcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Great suggestions so far!!! How about lab tech, respiratory therapist, speech therapist, or social worker. It really depends on which aspects of the job you like and which ones you want to avoid. You...

  12. cna/home health aid - paitent fell

    jb2u replied to stirlingk's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People fall everyday. That's why I have to laugh when patients say things like "I'm not going to fall." One never knows when they will or will not fall. The best you can do is make sure you are doing...

  13. CNA scope of practice?

    jb2u replied to LoveMyBugs's topic in Washington Nursing

    You will find what you need here at the Washington State Legislature's website Also look at RCW 18.79.260 Registered nurse — Activities allowed — Delegation of tasks. From the Washington State...

  14. My Negligence Caused a Fall

    jb2u replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just take it as a lesson learned. It seems, if you quit, this place and it's residents would be missing one very caring

  15. RN moving to Augusta, GA area this July...info on hospitals and potential jobs pls!

    jb2u replied to DelanaRN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'd say you should at least get 20-22/hr no matter where you go. MCG, I hear, is the highest paid. Actually, Select Specialty Hospital is the highest paid, but I would not work there. I do know people...

  16. Nervous about this Skill-elastic stocking???

    jb2u replied to karamarie91's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  18. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    jb2u replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Pt came into er via ems from nursing home. Reason....family wanted er to give antibiotics for uti. Pt came in and we did a UA per doctor's order. Yep, pt had UTI. MD prescribed antibiotic and sent...

  19. I can't get a job.

    jb2u replied to on eagles wings's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, no one can really tell you why you are not getting hired for sure, but....the economy is horrible right now!!! Yes, healthcare is always going to need people, but consider the fact that as...

  20. Anyone else don't have their GED or HS diploma?

    jb2u replied to BabyGirlx3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First, congratulations on going for your GED!! No, you are not less of a person for not having a GED or HS diploma, but the market is saturated. I can only assume at some point before you dropped out...

    jb2u replied to KColeman1764's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    pm is "private message." I am sure Iluvivt does not want her email posted on the forum for everyone to see, nor would I advise it. You can start sending and receiving pm's after you have 15

  23. Prescribing narcotics to drug seekers

    jb2u replied to Djuna's topic in Emergency

    Consider this....saying that a drug seeker should not get narcotics IS treating the patient. Giving the narcotics would be treating the problem, right? I mean, a patient comes in with a toe fracture,...
