    Penholder replied to Futurenursetlc's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I love 16s, but only when I work 11-7/7-3. I work on a very busy and self contained unit so days flies by. I have done days/eves a handful of times and eves/nights (used to every weekend). I wouldn't...

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

    It is not that CNAs job to inspect your work. Yes, it is her job to do rounds on her patients, but that typically does not include an incontinence check due to patient dignity. (Would you want someone...
