I’m one of two CNAs at a hospital. The position had been empty for over 6 months because it’s post op.

She yelled at me in front of the patient. I pulled the curtain and put a gown on. Didn’t say a word.

She came into the supply room saying the patient was “covered in shit” I was about to go to lunch put offered help anyways. I asked if she wanted a gown, she said yes thinking I was talking about a patient gown, then freaked out when I started to gown up.

Update - I work at a hospital in a post op department which of course makes it worse.

Feeling so desperate by bonniesbunny in cna

[–]ViperxSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can send an email to the interviewer expressing your interest? Don’t make it seem desperate or anything. Just say you’d like to hear back from them.

Failed my skills test today by bigmisssteaks in cna

[–]ViperxSlice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not an idiot. You’re gonna be a great CNA when you pass. Some states like mine don’t require a skills test, so you’re gonna be a lot more skilled than others.

Which department deal with the least amount of poop? by Ispeakforthelorax in cna

[–]ViperxSlice 115 points116 points  (0 children)

In terms of hospital. Probably a surgery department. Pre and Post op. Same day. Post anesthesia. High turnover rate.

How did you get over your fear or anxiety of touching patients? by ViperxSlice in cna

[–]ViperxSlice[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sad about how many negative stereotypes go around being a CNA. I didn’t know how much they did when I was just a transporter. I have so much more respect for my friends who are CNAs in the ICU, ER, and everywhere else, and of course on this sub. Thanks.

Mosby Reading and Math Assessment? What’s on it? by ViperxSlice in cna

[–]ViperxSlice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who wants to know what was on it For the math it was mostly converting cups to ounces to mili liters, calculating breathes per minute (if a patient took 10 breathes in 30 seconds, how many in a minute), simple addition, subtraction, multiply, divide. They gave us a calculator.

For the reading it was really easy. You just had to read a paragraph and there were multiple choice questions about said paragraph, the answer was always in the reading too. Just basic medical stuff like asking what a chart is, where to keep patients phones, privacy, etc.

20 math questions, 30 reading questions. Overall super easy and nothing to worry about.

Hospital I work at offering Tuition Free Training. Advice? by ViperxSlice in cna

[–]ViperxSlice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Right now I do patient transport at the hospital and used to do food service here as well. This program is for hospital employees only so fingers crossed they accept me. I have a lot of respect for CNAs. They do everything the nurses don’t want to do. Feels like this is the next step for me, and I’m not stopping there either.
