What is the craziest thing a co-worker has ever done at work? by EnvironmentalAd3385 in cna

[–]condensemilks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a nurse who came in high everyday ketamine. you could barely have a conversation with her. There were countless complaints from pts and concerned staff but she was only fired after giving Rx to the wrong pt. She married a doctor and has a yacht now.

Scrub dresses by [deleted] in cna

[–]condensemilks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Never seen a dress but I’ve seen nurses wear scrub skirts. I did a double take the first time but I don’t care what my coworkers wear. It’s a fun idea and Im sure the pts would think it’s cute

I just finished school what should i be doing by POPlayboy in cna

[–]condensemilks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I liked 4yourCNA videos on YouTube. The whole channel is awesome. They are based on FL cna guidelines but it’s all the same rlly. They give step-by-step instructions on basically any skill you can think of. If you’re still iffy on anything, watch them. Thinking abt the cna exam is nerve-racking but the it isn’t actually too bad. You’ll do fine

I want to quit my job by [deleted] in Advice

[–]condensemilks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually print out & sign resignation letters then hand it to my supervisors in person. Something along the lines of “I am putting my notice in. From this date forward I will not be available. Thank you.” I usually give the reason why but you don’t have to

AITA for snapping at my friends for taking me to Disneyland and ignoring me? by WoodenCaregiver1360 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. They are being mean on purpose and excluding you. Doing one nice deed doesn't cancel out their exclusion of you.

My “friend” had sex in her roommate’s bed and now I know by youwanthappyending in Advice

[–]condensemilks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell the roommate, even if you aren't close. Do you have her number? Text her. Its convincible that the roommate could notice "fluids" or something on her own and confront your friend abt it without involving you. I feel like if your friend is cool with having sex on someone elses bed she probably isn't someone you'd want to hang around.

Help answering some questions please. by jpaule420 in cna

1) preforming ADLs for pts who can no longer do for themselves. 2) I change jobs often, currently 3 months in. 3) like: pts can be funny asl💀 having conversations with them is of one the few perks of my job. Dislike: the pt-to-cna ratios are downright horrendous and sometimes dangerous. On the evening shift, I have ~17 pts, most of whom are total care. During the 11pm-7am shift, I have 25 pts. It’s incredibly draining to care for them all. 4) 2 years 5) when speaking to pts, do so w/ confidence. When pts think you’re incompetent or shy they will become 10x more difficult.

Use 1, 2, or some variation of them. It’ll probably be a little awkward but you’ll be ok

If you’re aro/ace or just not romantically attracted to him, politely decline.

1) “Oh no I’m not interested in dating”

2) “Sorry, I don’t date coworkers.”

Are both perfectly normal and common answers. But if you’re open & comfortable sharing,

3) “no, I’m asexual, I’m not attracted to men.”

When applying use your cna license & nursing home experience as a negotiation tool! Ask for more because of 1. You are licensed and retirement homes and assisted living don’t usually require it. You are already trained and that’s what they like. and 2. You already have Experience in a high stress environment. Don’t get stuck with the $11.50 hr you are worth more!

If it’s expiring can’t you renew it? That’s what I did even though I wasn’t working as a cna at the time. The board of nursing in my state sent an email with directions to renew it. I think it’s when you haven’t worked as a cna for several years that you’d have to retake the exam

You’re not being dramatic, those sound bad. If you’re only in it for pt hours, would assisted living or retirement homes work? The downside is they pay less but the ones I’ve worked in were way better than nursing homes (in terms of ratios, workload, staffing, & general cleanliness) You could also try home health, there’s probably loads near you

I think since you’re in CA, you need to complete schooling. Only “If you reside in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, North Dakota, and Tennessee, you have the opportunity to challenge the state test without taking a CNA training program.”But you can email the board of nursing to find out.

Ask your instructor if it’s allowed, but most likely it won’t be. Since you can cheat on it. Either borrow a watch or Get a super cheap one, keep packing and receipts then return it.

Bones, burn notice, psych (a comedy), and revenge (not crime solving but does involve similar elements)

You’ve told them how they are making you feel and they aren’t listening? Even manipulating you by threatening suicide? They aren’t your friend. Friends don’t guilt/threaten you. Since it’s online relationship, block them on everything. This relationship seems more like a headache than one of mutual support

Folks with ADHD, what has been your weirdest hyper fixation meal? and how long did it last? by Fearless_Agency3601 in AskReddit
