  1. CNA vs. Nurse: Too saturated or huge need?

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi all, So I've been pondering around looking for jobs, and I have almost a year of experience as a CNA. About close to 10 months come June 25th. Does anyone know if hospitals require experience or...

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

    Hi, thank you. For financial aid award letter, I think so, but not sure. If I were you I'd contact your financial aid office. When I want to find something like that that might be emailed, usually I...

    Pretty good. Just got accepted into nursing school this fall. ? So, super excited. Hoping I can afford everything by the time school starts. Financial aid is no longer disbursed before school starts....

    Update: so I quit where I work and got hired at another SNF that has direct deposit and apparently nice staff. I have a job interview tomorrow morning at the VA hospital because of my veteran...

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

    I don't think so. I think Nevada keeps things pretty basic/simple/bland. You're either a CNA or you're not. There is a job I applied for at our public hospital "UMC" and the job was for organ...

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

    Yeah, I mean I applied, but then got the denial email. But what I would like to know is what can I do to stand out? Is there a certification I could get that hospitals would like? You know something...

  8. Advice for CNA with unplease-able resident

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to daun47's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not trying to be unsupportive, but as a fellow CNA, if you think she's bad, you should work with a quad my facility has. VERY demanding. VERY bossy. Big black dude, like muscular. Even after 2 years...

    I'm in a bit of a predicament. I work on a ventilation unit. There's a very large female resident on ventilation. Somewhat young. Alert and oriented. Just started speaking today. Wednesday she claims...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, so HR spoke to me last Wednesday and said that, "Our investigation concluded you are not found guilty of what happened" and they back paid me two days worth of work for this up coming pay period...

    What you wrote in bold isn't what I directly said to them. I didn't put that down. I wish I could say it to them, but I don't talk to any of my colleagues like that knowing they'll throw a temper...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    1. I would like to work somewhere else. Especially where direct deposit is offered and the company spends money to improve care. My company HATES spending money, despite the fact that spending money...

    What sidebar jabs? What you consider sidebar jabs were not what I said and I know what I didn't say. If I called her a whale or something, that's outright corrupt from a moral perspective in this...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I tried to apologize, but it made her more upset. Not sure why. I apologized to her in front of her mother. I've worked with residents who were big. Not once did I ever comment on their weight. And...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I view this as a criminal complaint against me. Maybe I'm wrong and it's not that. I don't know. I don't know what a criminal complaint would be like. I don't do drugs, I don't steal from patients or...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Meaning I could still get into nursing school after this? I mean, I talked to a nurse at another facility I was working at about this and she said she dealt with a CNA who physically hit a patient. I...

    I mentioned those meaning if the ombudsman knows people who are like CNAs are in nursing school because people want to improve their education. Don't they represent the

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Your bold statement highlighted "I didn't call the patient a fat cow or a whale". Meaning I KNOWINGLY was in her room and didn't say those things to that level. Maybe it was something else that she...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Is that bold highlighting and your reply you thinking I intentionally was disrespectful to the patient? You must be dyslexic because the contraction "did not" is in that bold statement. NurseBlaq: I...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    If it goes up to the Ombudsman, can the ombudsman be forgiving with my certification or are they just out right not for employees? Will she ask about my side of the story and if I told her that if I...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, it’s been awhile since I’ve ever posted. I finished Pathophysiology with a B. Very hard class, but it was interesting. In previous posts I might have mentioned I was on section 8 while doing...

    Beldar_the_Cenobite replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I qualify for having a mental illness. I was tested by the VA to see if I have PTSD [when I was living in my Mazda]. I was screened and diagnosed for mild PTSD, but I'm sure it's a lot worse...

    When I first moved to Las Vegas, I was recently fired from a trucking company and living out of a Mazda Protege sedan prior to getting section 8 housing. Lack of english proficiency isn't a racial...
