  3. I need cna help

    Momof8CNA replied to AjJibjab's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    anyone who is HRFF cannot be left alone on the toilet, no matter what! the best course of action wouldve been taking her back to her bed and cleaning her up there, getting gloves after you put her in...

  4. Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    Momof8CNA replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Momof8CNA replied to Angela89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  7. Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    Momof8CNA replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    she probably needed it done right then. honestly, you just have to juggle your tasks the best you can...there are plenty of times that the nurse needs me to do vitals on a new admit RIGHT THEN, even...

  8. CNAs/PCAs and Med Locks and Phlebotomy training

    Momof8CNA replied to WCSU1987's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i think a phlebotomist has an actual degree, if i remember right. that said, i dont see CNAs doing this unless they overhaul the entire program. you can get a cna license in 2 weeks, while i think a...

  9. CNA disrespect?

    Momof8CNA replied to cookiescardio's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i will say that when i worked in the nursing home environment, there was a LOT of disrespect, and there was more of a hierarchy in place too. no sitting behind the nurses station, the staff seemed to...

    Momof8CNA replied to hookyarnandblanket's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Momof8CNA replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    the work itself isnt hard at all...i have a set routine i follow, and i am pretty much on my own, since i work through an agency...the break room is awesome, has a tv, snacks etc...but its the whole...

  13. I'm the worst CNA they ever had

    Momof8CNA replied to jarae's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    she was rude, but i think the whole light switch thing was completely unprofessional. its their home, and if they want their light on, then that light stays on...you set the tone when you first...
