    pagandeva2000 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you all are not serial killers or demented nurses (). I do actually have very neat handwriting. This reminds me to pull out my handwriting analysis book (I actually have one)! It was a...

    CMA working as CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to JonJon88's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we know for sure that these providers will not be present for each and every procedure. I found that many physicians in my area started limiting what the CMA can do; maybe something happened,...

    pagandeva2000 replied to Emilysmom2, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have not applied myself, but I hear it is a long process filled with background checks, on line applications and a few interviews. I just went to an army base to give shots last weekend and I see...

    CMA working as CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to JonJon88's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the CMA/LPN issue always brought out passion in this forum. I have to agree with you; no one has ever treaded on the CMA. What is happening is that many of us have been confused in the...

    No More Fingersticks for Techs!!

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I have no issues with assistive personnel doing fingersticks due to the swamped situation we have at this time. As long as they report promptly, that is all I would ask as a nurse. But,...

    CMA working as CNA?

    CMA working as CNA?

    pagandeva2000 replied to JonJon88's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that you should take a CNA course and be done with it. Some of them have a pay as you go option (mine did, anyhow). It may also depend on where you work. I just emailed the BON of NYS...
