The unit I work on is on isolation due to scabies. I've come in contact with patients whom have scabies. I unknowingly shook hands with an infected patient only to find out the next day he has scabies on his hands. It gets worse, a resident i've take...

The nurses didnt tell CNA's about anything. There was no precautions whatsoever. The policy on PPE is to have the equipment by the door and a sign by the door. There was nothing for months. The nurses were clearly negligent. And dont even get me star...

Thank you so much

So training is over as a CNA in a nursing home, was on my own today. It's completely normal to be slow the first day on my own correct? My floor partner kept critiquing me and said i was slow. I thought i did the best of my "first day beginner" abili...

Would anyone be nice enough to give a full description of their evening shift duties? Like you clock in, get report, etc. I would like to know what to expect as a new CNA. Orientation starts Thursday. I obviously know the job description of a CNA and...

So I got this job as a CNA in a nursing home, where I live, south of seattle, the minimum wage was raised up to 12 dollars. Its gradually increasing to 12 dollars each year so right now its $10.35. My starting pay would have to be more than minimum w...

So, i hope someone can answer and give me clarification. Im getting paranoid because I just got a CNA job interview and the employer said since my NAC is pending, she can hire me as a NA at first. Under my NAR im assuming. But my NAR has expired a co...

No, I didnt put down that I had my NAR or NAC.

I had an interview for a CNA night shift position and it went really good. The employer said she would call me next week about orientation and that they will run the background check. Is that a good sign? Or do they usually just say they will call an...

Thanks!

So i know being a nurse requires some math...and thats my weakest subject. How hard is the math for LPN's? I feel confident in everything else but math is kind of discouraging me, making me feel kind of uneasy and nervous. I do want to be a nurse, i ...

Hey everyone, so im a 17 year old CNA that has to wait until i turn 18 to get a job. I turn 18 in January which is about 5 months from now. I just got my NAR last month in july and it expires on my birthday. And i have yet to mail the paperwork and 4...

Hey everyone. So im starting to take my prerequisites for LPN school and i was wondering is it going to be hard? Psychology, biology, math, etc. And is LPN school pretty smooth? I dont expect becoming a nurse to be easy but i dont want to fail and di...

Hey yall. So does volunteering at a hospital or nursing home gain you experience that benefits you as a CNA? And is there such thing as CNA internships? How would that work? How can i gain experience as a CNA without working? Thanks! -Joseph

Thanks for sharing! I'll call my local hospitals and find out about that. And i've called a bunch of nursing facilities and they say they only hire 18 and above. It looks like i'll just have to wait until im 18.
