    New CNA, On The Verge Of Tears

    Missingyou replied to m_n_b_96's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    WELL, being in a float position IS tough. It will take longer to get to know the residents and it's nearly impossible to get a routine! It's awesome that you have such a great team to work with. They...

    Did I get lucky to get a huge increase, or was it because of my position?

    Missingyou replied to cnaman95's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It could also be because they gave raises while you were gone and that reflects in your new start pay. Not to mention that you are no longer a "new CNA"... you have some experience and they also know...

    New CNA, On The Verge Of Tears

    Missingyou replied to m_n_b_96's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First of all, you MUST talk to a supervisor about the issues with the punching in!! 2nd, TAKE YOUR BREAK and DO NOT work, (no matter how urgent the need) without punching in. If you ever got hurt or...

    PRN hospital job for new CNA?

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

    As a new CNA it is very unlikely that you will be able to find any CNA position in a hospital. They are usually in high demand and most often want 6 months of long term care....there is a small chance...

    Summer Job Woes

    Missingyou replied to Lulu Belle's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you left by giving proper notice, you wouldn't be "cutting ties" or burning any bridges....if fact, it may even allow you to go per diem on breaks. .....just

    Summer Job Woes

    Missingyou replied to Lulu Belle's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, you could go the route where you don't TELL them that you only want the position for the summer....Just apply, accept the position and then give notice at the end of the summer...... ...anyone...

    Horrified by lazy CNA's, is this the norm?!

    Missingyou replied to DBK99's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I completely agree with this ^^^! I also work in an awesome (but not the best looking facility). I would NEVER consider leaving a poopy bottom or wet pants because I don't have time! That's just...

    New to site and taking CNA course. What's it like being a CNA?

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

    You may be nervous about a lot of things about being a CNA now, but by the end of the class and clinicals, you'll have all the important things figured out and you'll feel less anxious about all these...

    CNA Question

    Missingyou replied to andrearositas88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    But I can honestly say that the smell of C-Diff, did make me gag. It just has it's own smell...No worries, you'll be great. YES! I've been doing this for more than 20 yrs and nothing bothers me...

    Un-supportive Influences!!

    Missingyou replied to TakilaNasirRN's topic in General Students

    Set your priorities. When you feel like you are running low on time & energy, the things at the bottom of your priority list will not get your attention...and that is how it has to be if you're...

    Scared!!

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

    In my state, ...and I know also in Michigan, you CAN pass medications in an assisted living facility once you become med certified without a nurse on duty. There must be a nurse employed by the...

    Just a ponder

    Missingyou posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We have mangaged to get our mentally ill and our developmentally delayed citizens out of institutions and into places that are more like "homes". I wonder why we haven't been able to do that for our...

    Scared!!

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

    In some states, a "caregiver" in an assisted living facility CAN pass meds once they completed training. The key here is "training" which is a given number of hours. You need to find out if this is an...

    CNA Question

    Missingyou replied to andrearositas88's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You will either just get use to the smell so it doesn't bother you any more, or you will learn to hide your discomfort. In the meantime: You can put something up or under your nose like Vicks or even...

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

    I love my job as a CNA! It certainly has it's moments like all jobs, but I love what I do! I don't ever plan to become a nurse. I am happy doing what I do. I work 2nd shift in a nursing home. I have...

    No Reports CNA 2 Cnas?

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

    Maybe the nurse just wanted you to be clear that they didn't want to have a long conversation with each of their CNA's at the begining of shift to tell you what to do when your assignments are already...

    PRN /1hr before call? Cnas pls

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

    In my opinion, there is a difference between per diem and on call...you were hired per diem. If they wanted you to be "on call" then it is typical that they pay you for the time that you are on call....

    It sounds to me that you have in fact grown since your first post...and believe it or not, you will continue to grow as a CNA. ~ I cared for many dying resident's. Only a few expressed how they...
