serching for answers

Published

I went on a interview today at a nursing home and I was given a written skills test and to make a long story short I did'nt get the job because I got the following questions wrong and I just wanted to know if anyone out there might know the answers so I have them for future reference. thanks

1. what does a picture of a cactus posted on a residents buliten board mean?

2. what does a picture of a water can mean

3. what does a picture of a bumblebee mean

Sounds crazy to me, how are you suppose to know the facilities signs if you have never worked there?

Seems awful weird!

The amount of different answers only convinces me that these things should be written in plain, unambiguous, terms!

OK...I have been searching all over the net and my eyes hurt. LOL... The symbols have to be subjective. The water drop has been used for different things from incontinence to push fluids. If you really want to know call them. If you are scared... PM me the number and the agency and I will call them. I will just tell them that I am looking for a home for Ma...yes, that's it... for Ma. :)

unless they had given you material to review ahead of time, how would you know what those meant? every facility uses something different. i've never seen any of those, and i've been in ltc for 18 years. are you sure that was the reason? good luck!
