  4. Clinical Shoes

    ZoeFrecn replied to GhostGal1996's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A lot of people like Dansko shoes. They are slip on, black and easy to wipe down. They can be on the pricey side. What I did was buy a cheap pair of white tennis shoes. I made it through my CNA...

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

  13. Should I talk to my manager about an RN?

    ZoeFrecn replied to omarosa47's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've worked with nurses who feel that it is beneath them, or not their job to do CNA work. It can lead to a toxic and unsafe work culture if is allowed to continue. Don't let nurses delegate tasks...

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

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