    Slipping CMA posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This MA I work with let's call her A does not talk to me at all because one day I had some urine labeled in the lab area that I told everyone I was holding onto because I had a question for the...

  2. CMA test prep- challenging the exam

    Slipping CMA replied to joseyjo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's been a while since I took the test and I have quite a few books I used to study from but if I remember correctly the most helpful ended up being Q & A review medical assistant. By Tom Palko,...

  3. Was I being a bully?

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

    Thanks, I felt like a bully just having to defend what my boss said and I thought maybe i was being a bully right back at her. I had to raise my voice because she was purposely walking away from me....

    Slipping CMA posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Warning this is long. I am the new CMA at a clinic I have been working there about a month so I know I'm just a baby leaning my way around. Two cohorts have been really hard on me and trying to be my...

  7. ADHD Nurses-what area do you specialize in?

    Slipping CMA replied to k31kozumi's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I hope you don't mind a CMA butting in with the cool kids, but I have a question. When I was young, the label they used was hyperactive, and the school wanted to put me on Ritalin; my mother thought I...

  9. MOST MAs ...? (certifications for ekg etc?)

    Slipping CMA replied to cpr,sucka's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. CMA Is it me.

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

    Thanks, I did graduate with a 4.0 and passed that stupid test with flying colors. I honestly think the daughter has some kind of personality disorder, with my 2 semesters of psychology I should know...

  11. MOST MAs ...? (certifications for ekg etc?)

    Slipping CMA replied to cpr,sucka's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  15. How to stay looking neat

    Slipping CMA replied to zynmimi's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a CMA and even though I want to look good for the office I'm lazy. I have long hair that goes in a ponytail with a touch of hairspray so I don't get flyaways. Since I'm older and don't want to...

  16. What was it like to be a nurse in the 1980s

    Slipping CMA replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    In 1986 I was 18 and my dad was very sick. He came home with a chest port and I had to hook him up to the IV every morning then take him off when the drug was done. I still remember that old IV...
