  1. My Journey- A CNA Personal Story

    CNAEdd29 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As I get closer to start working as a CNA again, I know this. It will not be as the last time. On this post, I just want to reflect the first time I worked as a CNA from the beginning until now. I...

  3. Night shift or day shift ?

    CNAEdd29 replied to Bailando's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends. Are you a hard worker, or someone who doesn't want all the pressure. Me, personally, I'd pick night. Why, because it's quiet, and even though it's busy, you can work without all the...

  5. My Commentary on myself, a CNA

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually, I've gotten used to it. All it takes is practice, over and over again. But I'd rather not work at a nursing home because i did for clinicals, and it was too much. Plus, hospital benefits are...

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Lol. But seriously, it's not a laughing matter. No one can take care of a whole floor. it's too dangerous not only to us, but the patients as

  7. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You ever had that one nurse, or group of nurses who expect you to do everything? Even if you had a whole floor to yourself with 15 patients, for example. Did they expect you to do anything with little...

  9. A Day In the Life of a Rehab CNA

    CNAEdd29 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have to bow my hat to you. I understand how you feel, because I worked at rehab too. Sometimes it was easy, and sometimes it was hard. But the thing about your post i'm shocked about is how therapy...

  10. Advice for New Nursing Assistant

    CNAEdd29 replied to rndreams14's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It will be hard, since you had no prior experience. Trust me, I did when I first started, and it was horrible for a few months. But in time, it was easier and I could cope with it. M y best advise to...

    CNAEdd29 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've had some bad experiences working on floors by myself. But not as bad as working with 33 PATIENTS by myself. not only it's dangerous to me but it's dangerous to the patients. Why, people will...

  12. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    CNAEdd29 replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I personally don't believe that most cna's think they are "Kings". I know I am not one. But I believe we have a right to say something IF we worked as a CNA for a long time and know what's it like....

  13. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If nurses were cnas before, then they would understand more. Look, I know they have much more to do, but if they take time to help with anything, that helps. I know they have so much on there hands,...

  14. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It frustrates me when certain nurses tell me that I'm not doing my job when in fact I'm doing ALL that I can to my ability. I guess sometimes there's nothing any CNA can do. We just have to get in...

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Really?

  17. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, im not a nurse and just found out that i cant "use" it as a title name. I'm sure that many others do so as well. I can see from your point of view, but when a tech has a WHOLE floor with nurses...

  18. Don't be that Nurse

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I get that. But sometimes we need help with things too. Seriously, we can't do everything ourselves, like taking care of 33 patients, which I've done before. It's impossible. Teamwork is a must in...

  21. Not Being Respected as a CNA

    CNAEdd29 replied to Dani2389's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My advice, don't sweat it. Trust me, i've felt this feeling before. But at the end of the day, you've done your job, you've done your part, and you get to go

  22. My Commentary on myself, a CNA

    CNAEdd29 replied to CNAEdd29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Judging from a comment from a "Nurse" and more to come, people, just read everything. Not just my old blog, but my commentary as well. I felt since I'll be going back to being a CNA soon, I felt I...

    CNAEdd29 replied to emmphy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, you're a nurse, as I can see in this blog. Congratulations on getting your license, but it seems to me that you may be that person who doesn't believe in teamwork. It's all good though. I wish you...
