Hi NurseB! I took a cna course last Fall, took my state exam and passed this past March and received my certification in this fine month of May. I applied for a Med Tech position at an assisted living facility and was called back, went to a group interview with women who have years of experience up against my only experience was clinicals.. afterwards, before I could even pull in to my driveway they called me back and offered me the job! I’ve been watching your videos for some time now. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for your insight and tips. Very much appreciated and I will continue to pay attention to you and your content. God bless! ❤️

That’s awesome!! Let me know if I have any vid requests. I hope you enjoy working as a med tech, it can be pretty chill.

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate all your tips! 💟

Yay, right on time! ❤️

I am a GNA attending CMA classes now. I will be finished November 19, 2019, which is in 8 days and I am so excited. Watching this video helped me out as far as to what to look for as I make my transition and I appreciate you making this video. I will be continuing my nursing career as an LPN starting March 30, 2020 and I chose to become a CMA to be a stepping stone to get me more familiarized with different medications and what they do so I can have one leg up when I start my classes 😊. So again thank you for your videos. You have a new subscriber in me.

You’ll def learn ALOT! Make sure you write down any drugs that you don’t know and look them up. Check your patients diagnosis that way you get a better idea of what drugs go with certain disorders

When I was a nurse in long term care I had to pass meds. No CMTs so that's good you get a break in St Louis.

Passing meds is easy 😩 I personally hate the paperwork lol but I start at one end & work my way down , I never give meds to people in between because you can confuse yourself I’m mean idc lol always triple check “mar,med&name” & I count my pills too .

Passing meds is easy only if you have a low census. I have 40 plus patients each patient taking 15 to 20 meds. Plus a peg tube and tracheostomy patient. Takes forever

Perfectly Honest dayshift that’s normal but depending on your provider I would try to get the meds down if somebody takes 6 vitamins why not give them a multivitamin.

I laughed when she said “they like to play games” I’ve seen it many times before 🤣

I love your eyeshadow 😍

I know this is been posted for a while but I learned these tips in my preceptorship. I learned to give meds with apple sauce/pudding and need to give it all to them at one time. Also I had a resident say she didn't take the "white" pill so I had to go back to the nurse and let her know what the resident said. We went back to give her the meds but had to remind her that's her new pill the doctor talked to her about taking. I agree learning the residents make things easier.

Interesting!

OMG! Yessss I HATE when a resident will act brand new by asking “What’s this for, why am I taking this” like please stop it and just take it. You’ve been taking it. And it will be an AAOx3 person. Ughhh! So irritating 😖😖😖

great video!!

Just got my CMT training completion certificate yesterday. Now I’m waiting on my License🤗

Can you do a video on job interviews and things to say and not to say as a new grad

Admin really needs to stop patients from coming up to the nurse cart and interrupting, gathering around, hanging out, ect. as the nurse does their med pass. I find that to be extremely annoying, but the main reason is being interrupted can cause/ causes med errors.

Hi, love your video so much. I have one question please. If someone is working a shift from 11pm-7am, would they get to a point where they have to give out meds to resident at a home facility?

I work in a very popular hospital in GA and the nurses complain all the time because they give them 4 patients and they have to give them the meds most of the time they are at the front desk watching tiktok who do all the work are the PCTs

Especially if your a new nurse, they always wanna give ya crap, hey its there right to know.

Do u like passing meds

What is the best way to pass meds on a night shift. Because some get their meds at midnight and some get theirs when they wake up. Because I want to understand how to do this correctly to save my licence.

Same as any other med pass. Some people get meds at 8 am some at 12pm and some at both times.just make sure you follow your facilities policy.

The pass 25 yrs
