  5. Maybe this is just a vent post....Home Health

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

    The people at the office always seemed to be on Facebook or in a meeting. Its crazy how home-health works and how they expect you to be able to get out of class for a client. Usually I guess its the...

  10. Do you think this will result in termination?

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

    I would say that if you are calling out a lot for whatever reasons then your employer is going to want to know what is going on. I don't know how your employer thinks but I personally wouldn't let my...

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

    slilly replied to Coffee bean's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
