I saw Rihanna on her Diamonds World Tour a month ago, and it was just the spectacle I had hoped for, from the weird Grecian columns strewn about the stage to the time she came out wearing thigh-high boots and an oversized basketball jersey. She's kinda the best, even though at times she's also the worst. She's messy, she favors oversharing, and she always has really good nails — all things I support. With that said, please accept this video of Rihanna hitting a handsy fan in the head with her mic as her nomination for Patron Saint of Women Who Don't Give A Fuck. It is perfection.

COL264: My Two Dads
In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, we are joined by Tom McMillen-Oakley, author of "Jesus Has Two Daddies", who discusses being an adopted father. We talk about why he and his husband chose to adopt and what it's like being "intentional parents".
COL264: My Two Dads Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
COL263: Fostering Fathers
I do a podcast which is something that's only really for a niche group. However, this episode we did via Google Hangouts is more about family and gay parents. So I thought I'd show it here.
So I was walking my dog, Sonnet, this morning and when I squatted to pick up her poop . . they ripped. It was my only pair of shorts I had so I needed a new pair. I ended up with four.

Box Busters & Ripping Retail, Football | 2011 Timeless Treasures Football, Boomer Esiason, Chris Hanburger, Dwayne Harris, Panini America, Ray Rice | Comments (1)
By Andrew Tolentino | Football Editor
In a soon-to-post Box Busters episode, collectors can watch a two-tin break of 2011 Timeless Treasures Football. But before that, we fired up a scanner to preview Panini America's new, six-card-per-pack pigskin product.
As the gallery (from a single tin) indicates, the hits are consistent, but their magnitude is a little less stable. More often than not though, "hit or miss" is the best way to describe a low-quantity$100 gamble like this one. Greats like Red Grange, Jim Thorpe and Troy Aikman headline the brand new brand, but their cards aren't (and shouldn't be expected) in every pack.
The brand also has room for improvements in aesthetic uniformity — but that can be attributed to growing pains. This is the first time for Panini to try Timeless Treasures in the football market, and with some solid hobby feedback the manufacturer's 2012 release could be even better.
In the meanwhile, this look-see offers a glimpse inside current tin containers.

I hardly ever use regular white sugar anymore.... Navita's brand is great. I'll continue to buy itPublished 2 months ago by Jennifer Fisher
OK, I've tried them all. Splenda, agave, honey, stevia . . . couldn't tolerate the others. THIS is the best thing going. Read morePublished 3 months ago by TruthSeeker
I was hoping for a powdered version of agave. For my taste, this is bitter, not sweet at all, and the dark color would present issues for baking...Published 5 months ago by Raousha

Graduate students and post-docs from many disciplines serve as Teaching Fellows (TFs) and Teaching Assistants (TAs) for undergraduate global health courses at Harvard College. For simplicity, we will use the term "TFs." Successful TFs of global health courses have come from a wide range of graduate programs. Since 2012, the Harvard Global Health Institute has collaborated closely with the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning on a number of initiatives to support TFs in building their own knowledge and teaching skills while contributing to undergraduate learning. Read more on the fall 2013 workshop for global health TFs.
Have questions? Contact the current Global Health Departmental Teaching Fellow or Dr. Cherie Ramirez (firstname.lastname@example.com), Curriculum Fellow at the Harvard Global Health Institute.

Interested in Being a Teaching Fellow?
Recommended Fundamental Training for All Global Health TFs
We highly recommend that all first-time global health TFs take advantage of the training opportunities outlined below. Several of these training experiences are also highly valuable to more seasoned TFs, and some offer a means of sharing their wisdom with newer TFs.
Before a semester during which you teach:
- Read Teaching Essentials for Global Health Teaching Fellows and refer to this guide as needed during your teaching.
- Attend the Bok Center Fall or Winter Teaching Conference, typically held the week before the semester begins. The conferences are open to anyone who teaches undergraduates at Harvard and feature both fundamentals for new TFs as well as enrichment sessions for veteran instructors. Starting in January 2014, HGHI will be piloting a new session during the conference exclusively for global health TFs as an alternative to the global health teaching fellow workshops we have held in the past. Please consult the Bok Center Teaching Conference schedule for additional information.
- If you're a Head TF, attend the Head TF training run by the Program in General Education (email@example.com, 617-495-2563) and join the Head TF Network. The Head TF training is open to both Head TFs for Gen Ed and non-Gen Ed courses.
Early in the semester:
- Practice teaching during a microteaching session. This may also be done before the semester begins and works well with multiple TFs from the same course. As an added bonus, you can keep the recording of your teaching for your teaching portfolio.
- Collect early feedback from your students and discuss with a Bok Center consultant what's working, what's not working, and strategies for further developing your teaching skills.
- Request to have your section recorded by filling out the following form. List the Global Health Departmental Teaching Fellow as your teaching consultant. Watching your teaching on video may feel a little strange, but it's a great learning experience. If possible, it's helpful to pair this with your review of mid-semester student feedback.
Later in the semester:
- Hold a writing assignment-grading workshop led by Dr. Jim Herron of the Harvard Writing Project to calibrate grading expectations within your TF team for any major writing assignment in your course.
Teaching & Learning Resources from HGHI
- Teaching Essentials for Global Health Teaching Fellows. Recognizing the rich diversity of disciplines and stages of training represented by global health TFs, we have gathered a collection of information and resources that addresses knowledge and skills that global health TFs may be asked to draw upon during the course of their teaching.
- HGHI Teaching Resources. This site features a selection of general resources that may be useful to teachers (and students) preparing for health-related courses, including teaching slides, reading suggestions, global health organizations, and other data sources.
- HGHI Informal Conversation Series. This series offers faculty and students the opportunity to engage in dialogue on cutting-edge cross-disciplinary issues, exploring new ideas, challenges, and opportunities that impact global health. In addition to welcoming interested teachers to attend these events, HGHI has piloted producing "Conversation Starters" which can be adapted for use in classroom settings.
- Global Health Policy Brief Writing Guide. This guide was prepared by HGHI Director, Professor Sue J. Goldie, and colleagues for the undergraduate course, "Societies of the World 24: Complexities of Evidence Based Policy," in collaboration with the Harvard College Writing Program.
Additional Teaching & Learning Resources at Harvard
These resources are organized from most generally useful and accessible to most specialized. Also, the intended audience has been indicated as needed for resources primarily intended for a particular community.
Online Tools Relevant to Global Health Teaching Pedagogy
- Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning (Intended Audience: Instructors who work with Harvard undergraduates.) The Derek Bok Center on Teaching and Learning provides a range of general resources for TFs including participatory programs and online materials such as literature, videos, and tip-sheets.
- The Torch or the Firehose: A Guide to Section Teaching A delightful collection of advice for new college teachers at Harvard.
- ABLConnect A teaching resource database for active learning strategies from innovative teachers.
- Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Resources for Teaching Fellows. A list of practical information on teaching appointments and Harvard resources for TFs.
- Writing for the General Education Curriculum: A Practical Guide for Teaching Fellows. This general writing guide is provided by the Harvard College Program on General Education.
- Grant Proposal and Oral Presentation Guide Science of Living Systems 19: Nutrition and Global Health. This guide was prepared for the undergraduate course, "Science of Living Systems 19: Nutrition and Global Health" and features helpful advice for students preparing grant proposals and oral presentations.
- HSPH eLearning Tools. (Intended Audience: Instructors across Harvard University. Harvard-PIN is required.) While meant primarily as a repository for faculty participating in distance learning, the eLearning Portal @HSPH contains information on a variety of technological approaches and tools that can be useful for teaching students including Harvard Wiki , Qualtrics Surveys, Using Social Media to Enhance Learning, and Distance Learning Tools.
Workshops & Courses to Improve Teaching Skills
- Derek Bok Center Teaching Conferences and Teaching Certificate Courses (Intended Audience: Teaching staff working with Harvard undergraduates). Those interested can also complete the full Teaching Certificate Program.
- Harvard Medical School Nanocourses (Intended Audience: Open to the public unless taken for credit). This is a novel mini-course format, traditionally consisting of one three-hour session that is open to the public and a second three-hour session soon thereafter for graduate students registered to earn credit through the Division of Medical Sciences. Public Health 101 is an example of a recent nanocourse of potential interest to global health teachers.
- Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) Case-Based Teaching in Public Health (Intended Audience: Instructors across Harvard University. Harvard PIN is required.) In the fall of 2011, Dr. Nancy Kane, Professor of Management at HSPH, taught a workshop on Teaching with the Case-based Method. These three videos (Preparing to Teach a Case, The Case Discussion, and Workshop Wrap-Up) integrate footage from that workshop with participant interviews to demonstrate and explain case-based teaching. For information about upcoming case-based teaching workshops open to graduate students, post-docs, and faculty, please contact Nancy Perna (email@example.com) of the Office for Education at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Revised June 5, 2014
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today announced a suspension on imports of sport-hunted African elephant trophies taken in Tanzania and Zimbabwe during calendar year 2014. Questionable management practices, a lack of effective law enforcement and weak governance have resulted in uncontrolled poaching and catastrophic population declines of African elephants in Tanzania. In Zimbabwe, available data, though limited, indicate a significant decline in the elephant population. Anecdotal evidence, such as the widely publicized poisoning last year of 300 elephants in Hwange National Park, suggests that Zimbabwe's elephants are also under siege.
Given the current situation on the ground in both Tanzania and Zimbabwe, the Service is unable to make positive findings required under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Endangered Species Act to allow import of elephant trophies from these countries. Additional killing of elephants in these countries, even if legal, is not sustainable and is not currently supporting conservation efforts that contribute towards the recovery of the species.
The decision to suspend the import of sport-hunted trophies from Tanzania and Zimbabwe applies to elephants taken on or after April 4, 2014. The Service will reevaluate this suspension for calendar year 2015 or upon receipt of new information that demonstrates an improved situation for elephants in these countries.
Legal, well-regulated sport hunting, as part of a sound management program, can benefit the conservation of listed species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation. At this time, the Service does not have conservation concerns with African elephant sport hunting in Namibia, South Africa, or Botswana; though it should be noted that Botswana is not currently open to elephant sport hunting.
For more information, please visit www.fws.gov/international/permits/by-activity/sport-hunted-trophies.html.
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals, and commitment to public service.

Material: Sterling Silver
Brand: Lunt Silversmiths
Origin: Spain
Once upon a time, the good silver was secreted away, gathering dust and awaiting the next special occasion. Those days are over. It only takes one impromptu al fresco picnic fully accessorized with fabulous silver from Lunt Silversmiths to show you that every day is a special occasion. For the past hundred years, Lunt has consistently been the name associated with elegant entertaining in the best American homes. This collection of New England-made sterling-silver flatware, tableware and picture frames is a legacy waiting to happen.

Tadoku Again! What to Read?
Posted on 29. Jun, 2011 @ 10:33 pm by harvey in Books, Language Views: 4,285
Tadoku is coming again!
I haven't performed very well in the Tadoku competitions. I do read a lot of Japanese daily, because it's my life, but I have trouble sticking to whatever novel it was that I picked for the contest. Also, I'm too lazy to record pages of games or random webpages that I read. So, I only record the books. Anyway, excuses over. I'm going to pick up where I left off in Kafka By the Shore 海辺のカフカ and join Tadoku again this time!
I think I need to learn to abide by this Tadoku philosophy from Professor Sakai of tadoku.org. (Saw this from Lingosteve's blog, props!)
1) do not look words up in the dictionary
2) if you are stuck, move on, don't ask questions
3) if you do not like what you are reading, get something else to read.
I have an OCD habit of writting down any unknown Japanese that I encounter, looking it up, and adding it to my Anki deck. This slows me down. I love it though… but I guess Tadoku is not the time for that. I'll try to kick the OCD habit for one month and just read more (or die)!
Are you going to Tadoku? What are you going to read?
If you haven't decided on anything yet here are some ideas…
Anything on Aozora Bunko.
Use Japanese Literature at Bedtime to get MP3s of famous Japanese stories available on Aozora Bunko, and read while listening. Awesome.
Get some of the readers from TheJapanShop.com. Full disclosure, I'm friends with TheJapanShop.com owner, but seriously, the stuff is legit. They are traditional Japanese stories, read by a native Japanese speaker, and you get the Kanji readings and English translation as well. The audio files are all separated so if you like you can listen to the straight-up no-help Japanese. Good stuff. For example, 注文の多い料理店 by Miyazawa Kenji.
Liana has also posted links to tons of great stuff. Check out her list of extensive reading material online.
Anyone have other ideas for stuff to read?? Do tell!

As for me all I can say is : 2.5 Days done, 7.5 days to go. Ready to scream or pass out ;O) Cleaning lady didn't show up today and didn't bother to call, she's definitely going to get sticks in her XMAS stocking this year.

Yep, it was pretty rough. I had sweatpants, but I didn't have a pair of pants with an elastic waist. Plus, the venue was semi-formal (it was at a concert hall in Manhattan) so I couldn't wear sweatpants. The only option I had were the jeans. The fact that the seats were pretty crammed and tight didn't help much, either. I wore a cropped cardigan over my blouse, so it obviously wasn't long enough to cover up my bloated tummy. I was seated for most of the time at the coffee house, so my undone jeans weren't that exposed. It was only embarrassing when I had to get up. I was hoping I'd be able to get them done up by the end of our time there, but the bloating was only getting worse. Not fun at all.
Thankfully, things are better now, and the bloating is mostly gone.

Hi Donna,
No the neighbor I took food too is not the one I walk with thank goodness, lOL
Although she has not been able to walk for a while :(
LOL on seeing us on tv because of attorney <g>
Nope no trouble, LOL
Have a great week :)
|Tue, 12-11-2012 - 1:29am
Hugs...Oh, good, nice you had brunch with your son.
Glad you got to see friends and their new baby and so nice of you to take food to the neighbor. Is she the neighbor that you walk with?
Off to see attorney?? Hope you're not in trouble!! We won't be hearing about you on tv will we??
Enjoy the rest of your week of quiet!
|Tue, 12-11-2012 - 1:25am
Pat...That is so weird that both my and Suzan's replies to Ann are posted before her post!! I swear it didn't start out that way..lol!! You just never know what glitches will show up next at IV!!
Nice you'll have Tuesday off. Hope the weather's good and you and Wayne have a nice day together!!
Looks like a good weekend for you, have good times at all of your events, especially Sunday!!
|Tue, 12-11-2012 - 1:21am
Megan...Welcome back! Ouuu..poor you!! I remember those days of long ago when cramps were so horribly bad. Glad you got to go out with your friends, though, even though you were uncomfortable. That would be a good time to wear slacks without a zipper and a shirt or sweater that comes well down over the waistband. Hope tomorrow's a better day.
Nice you'll be heading back 'home' soon and for a whole month too!! Have a great time!! Hope you have nice warm weather again too! Check in with us while you're there and make us envious of you!! :)

I can imagine it is hard to be nice! Sad they can't see you are not well and help you out instead of being the needy ones!

LOL, I vary in my reaction to changes. If I have time to consider the change, or have a hand in it, I'm .... okay. But if someone springs sudden change on me, like rearranges a room without telling me they're going to, or changes plans without telling me ahead of time, I freak. I hate that I react that way. I can feel it building and try to control it, but until I've moved everything back or told myself several times to calm down and roll with the change of plans, I am not fit to be around. What's funny is, Colleen is the only one who has ever gotten what it takes to keep me sane about changes. She says it's because she used to work with autistic kids, LOL!
|Mon, 12-10-2012 - 2:08pm
That's terrible of the cleaning lady to not show up and not let you know! As for your visitors, don't wear yourself out and I hope the time goes quickly.
I'm doing my usual laundry today and finishing up wrapping the presents. Now I know why I usually wrap them on the living room floor - because once I start, I have to finish and I can just shove them across the room to the tree when I'm done. When they're downstairs on a table, I forget about them and then have to haul them upstairs to put under the tree. Nearly done, though! Just one gift left to wrap and a few left to bring upstairs.
As for the rest of the week, I'm waiting for a call telling me when on Wednesday my new recliners will be delivered. Tom and I decided to replace the recliners we have as a gift to ourselves. The chairs we have are kind of old and are really too big for the room (especially one of them) and one of them is in a light fabric that shows every spot or dirty look it gets, lol. The new ones are going to be smaller (hope that won't mean "not comfy"), will not take up a lot of room when reclining (they call it "zero-wall") and are dark brown. I think I'll like them. I hope I will. But with my knack for second-guessing myself and hating change (even change I bring on myself), I'm feeling a little apprehensive, lol.
Tuesday I have nothing going on. Wednesday I'll get the chairs (whether I like them or not, lol!) and Thursday & Friday look open so far, other than occasional errands in town.
The tree is up and the house is as decorated as it's going to be and my cards are all out, so I guess I'm ready for the holidays!

TALLADEGA, Ala. Johnny Sauter emerged the winner of Saturdays NASCAR Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Almost everyone behind him ended up hidden in a dust cloud of a violent 12-truck wreck which erupted on the final lap of the Freds 250.
Sauter, Ross Chastain and Dakota Armstrong along with their respective drafting partners waged a wild race for the lead off Turn 4 on the final of 94 laps.
As the trio of tandems approached the checkered flag, the drafting tandem of Miguel Paludo and Jeb Burton who were traveling much faster burst into the picture with nowhere to go.
At one point, Paludos truck ended upside down, sliding on its roof and appeared to hit the frontstretch catchfence. Kyle Busch took a violent hit and damaged part of the pit road wall.
As Sauter celebrated his third victory of the season, a small fleet of ambulances and fire trucks covered the frontstretch dealing with the aftermath of the wreck.
I did see smoke in the mirror as a crested the tri-oval and trucks going everywhere, said Sauter, who earned his ninth career victory.
You never know what to expect here. It was just a crazy race. My teammate, Matt Crafton, just pushed and pushed and pushed and hate that so many guys trucks got tore up.
David Starr finished second, Chastain was third, Parker Kligerman was fourth and Armstrong was fifth.
Crafton, the series points leader, ended up ninth and holds a 57-point lead over Ty Dillon with four races remaining this season.
Most of the drivers involved in the last-lap wreck were treated and released from the infield care center.
NASCAR officials said driver Justin Lofton was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation.
All I know is (Kligerman) came off my bumper and it took air off my spoiler, Chastain said. I still thought we would be second or third and not wrecked but then I got hit again and hit somebody and then hit the wall.
I knew it would be close. I felt like coming to the checkered we still had a chance to win. But for some reason we tore up a bunch of race trucks that didnt need to be tore up.

Why become a CNA? Be a Medical assistant instead - page 4
This isn't a commercial but a warning. Like most folks here, I decided to become a CNA to learn from the "ground up"," pay my dues", get in contact with healthcare professionals. It's the biggest mistake I've made in recent... Read More
- 1Mar 2, '10 by tiredstudentmomI have been both. It could be these job choices that have led me on the path to RN (pre-nursing right now, won't be held down, oh no!). Being and MA is still tough work, and yeah, there are definitely perks to working in an office. The pay is better for MA's in most places, depending on where you are. I understand that in nursing, you still clean up a lot of poo...read some of the forums on here. One gal ASKED for the gross out poop stories and some are quite hysterical! I say give Medical Assisting a try. I learned administrative and clinical concepts both in school and on the job. Let me tell you though that school is NOTHING at all like what you find in real life. Very rewarding career choice and some offices only hire MA's instead of nurses. Not sure exactly why, but they are. If you really want to do it, go for it! I didn't regret my choice...I love (most!) of our patients and that's why I'm in this biz. Go for it!
- 2Mar 3, '10 by rxgirl6903I think you are very wrong here. I am a certified Medical assistant, and I have had no prolems finding jobs, however, there is no room to move up. I decided to go back to school and get my RN, but in order to do so I had to take the CNA classes... even though I am a medical assistant. You have to go back and start over from the begining. CNA, LPN, RN. My medical assisting classes were uselss for purposes of moving forward w/my career. It did give me good work history/background, but the money I spent would have been better spent on becoming and LPN first.
- 2Mar 3, '10 by ♪♫ in my ♥Quote from FraidoCatFunny... I routinely hear/see nurses making the same comment.The sad thing is, if CNA's would realize their power, they could really change things, sadly I believe most will stay in the dark.
- 0Mar 3, '10 by heathert_kcThere are a couple reasons that people should do their CNA: first it is a requirement now a days for getting into nursing schools whether rn or lpn. This means a great potential of advancement (my wage just about doubled from CNA to LPN) that simply does not exist with medical assisting (my cousin spent nearly a year to become a medical assistant only to start all over again to get into nursing school/ plus I was actually making more as a CNA than she was).Though choosing it as a life long career isn't advisable because it is hard, and far less than glamerous work. Plus those dirty, back breaking tasks are all incompassed in total nursing care. When I worked in a hospital, med/surg it was the RN who assisted me with repositioning the pt. As a nurse working homehealth, if your patient needs assistance with toileting or bathing, you are the only one there, you do it. The position of nurse's assistant was created in order to assist nurses with less-medical tasks that lay people can do, so that they can focus on the more skilled tasks but at the end of the day it is the responsibility of the nurse to ensure all of these tasks are done. There is less opportunities in medical assisting, where as CNAs work in ltc, hospitals, homehealth, dialysis and occassionally out patient clinic settings.

Like most folks here, I decided to become a CNA to learn from the "ground up"," pay my dues", get in contact with healthcare professionals. It's the biggest mistake I've made in recent years.
Know why? CNA school doesnt really tell you what being a CNA is about. The private CNA school admission officers lie and gloss over the truth all the while collecting that exorbitant tuition. At a skilled nursing facility where 99% of you will start in, it's 80% changing diapers and making beds. It is a back-breaking, thankless, feces-collecting, low-paying scut job that you can master within months if not weeks or days. I should know. I have.
All those techniques of bedbathing, turning, grooming? Hah. Out the window. CNA school makes you think you have all the time in the world to attend to these patient needs. No way. You have an overloaded roster of patients and no time to talk, let alone groom them. You have your lead CNAs, your other residents and the nurses themselves yelling at you to attend to their needs. The first month, I was almost crippled for a week because my back was so aching and I had used proper body mechanics. These patients are so overweight, that turning them on the bed just to change their diaper is excruciating at times. CNA school didn't help with that problem among the other REAL situations that arise in LTC.
Being a CNA means you see the whiniest, neediest dark side of people. After I became one, I've heard one consistent caveat amongst nursing professionals, "You'll get burnt out and will start hating your patients." All true.
Another caveat? The nurses, whom you work with and are hoping to become one day, you eventually deeply resent. Why? CNAs do ALL the heavy lifting. If a resident vomits or ***** in his pants? Guess who the nurse immediately calls because she can't stomach it. You'll have three call lights to answer and the nurse is yelling at you on top of that to get her vitals done.
And for those hoping to get into a hospital? Good luck, because to basically get in you have to be a blood relative or really lucky. Especially if you have no experience. Those CNAs working at those hospitals are basically lifers doing the same thing over and over for years on end. Don't envy them too much.
Become a Medical assistant. You have more interaction with the doctors and nurses, higher variety of patients rather than just old people. No heavy lifting except for maybe transferring once in a long while. The pay is roughly the same, the schooling is longer though. Tuition is a little more but totally worth it. It also counts as healthcare experience which is key since my eventual goal is to get into physician assistant school. Barring that, then nursing school.
I came in like you all nursing hopefuls wanting to help people. It gets harder week by week to maintain that attitude but there are some bright spots like when one of my residents relatives pulled me aside to tell me that her mother loves me taking care of her. Yet, I can feel my attitude waning. I've been in for three months and it feels like years.
I'm doing you a favor here. Do yourself a favor and wave off becoming a CNA and be a MA. I wish I did. As for the tuition? There are public school options. I found one for $750, that teaches front and back office at local adult school here in California.
You have been warned.
I agree whole-heartedly. The nurses are very non-understanding of how hard we work. They keep you short-staffed and rarely ever give praise. I do it on the weekends and have for a year. It is a very thankless job, but I do love the clients. I am, however, starting to realize that I may have a slipped disk. It is back-breaking work. In many nursing schools, you don't have a chance inless you get your CNA. So, I think this is why people go this route. All the nursing schools in my area expect that you will have your CNA by the time you apply.
- 0Mar 3, '10 by MayaquiceThis is a hard one because this is too general a subject. MA job availability differ by city. School's are all different, tuition is all different....it ALL depends on area. CNA is a pre req for the RN programs where I'm from so if I choose to do that I have to take a CNA course..period. I think it depends more on your long term goal. If MA is right for you-do it. If CNA is a baby step or where you want to stop-do it.
I'm sure most CNA's won't admit to not liking thier job to reflect thier choice was a good one. If they indeed feel that way. I really think this is different for eveyone. Although I must admit eveything in the original post is everything I worry about being a CNA! And everything I've heard from CNA's working at a LTC Hospital.
Maybe if you could find some sort of job shadowing or take a lower paying job in an LTC Hospital (activities, etc.)to see what they do daily. Interview a few, say it's for School & go with a bunch of questions. Just a thought.
- 1Mar 3, '10 by philippians4:13It sounds like you have had an awful experience as a CNA. I am 40 years old and have been a CNA since I was 20 and I love my job. I cannot work in a nurseing home because I am not strong enough to do transfers. I always strain my neck muscles and I am a wimp LOL. Some girls are strong but not me. I also dont like rushing around but I have never experienced the type of workload you are referring to. I did nurseing homes in my 20's but then I switched to home care and its great. I make $15 an hour and up. I live in Ct. The average pay in Connecticut for CNAs is $10 to $17 an hour. In homecare you only have the one client and you go to their home. I dont have to do lifts or transfers at all. I usually have alzheimer patients and they are ambulatory and can use the toilet unless they have an accident. No big deal. That doesnt bother me. My old lady cries if she soils herself. She feels bad. I help her into the shower and get her cleaned up and changed, throw the laundry in the washing machine and shes good to go. Sounds like you have allowed yourself to be taken advantage of and am now angry about it. If I was in a job like yours I would have left right away. You often get what you tolerate and I agree there are bad places to work but that holds true in any profession. I wouldnt trade CNA work for anything else. I have a friend who is an LPN and she doesnt make much more than me and she is paying on a student loan of $15 thousand dollars now. I dont want the debt or the added responsibility of her job. Im happy right where I am and if your thinking of being a CNA I think you should go for it and dont let anyone discourage you because there are great jobs out there, just dont settle for a bad one. No matter what you decide to do.
- 1Mar 3, '10 by tiredstudentmomQuote from rxgirl6903I think you are very wrong here. I am a certified Medical assistant, and I have had no prolems finding jobs, however, there is no room to move up. I decided to go back to school and get my RN, but in order to do so I had to take the CNA classes... even though I am a medical assistant. You have to go back and start over from the begining. CNA, LPN, RN. My medical assisting classes were uselss for purposes of moving forward w/my career. It did give me good work history/background, but the money I spent would have been better spent on becoming and LPN first.
You do present a very valid argument that I had not considered. Some folks don't want to move on or up, but rather stay w/ being an MA for whatever reasons. I do share the same sentiment as you in regards to the money spent on school. The only class worth a darn was the clinical portion and even then, it doesn't really get you ready for the real thing. If one doesn't want to become a full fledged nurse, then MA is suitable. However, has you pointed out so succintly, it doesn't really prepare one for nursing. I was just pointing out that MA's are being utilized more and more in the offices and some people really prefer the office setting. Not all of us aim for the sky! I'm glad that you pointed out these aspects. It's good to gain a different perspective every once in a while. Thank you!
- 4Mar 3, '10 by emijen2girlsWhat a disappointing post!
Why do you want to be in the health care field? To interact with doctors and other health care professionals or take care of people.
Cleaning poop and lifting is part of it.
If your grandma was in the hospital or nursing home and had incontinence wouldn't you be grateful for the aide/nurse who cleaned her up without making remarks? lovingly restoring her cleanliness and dignity? that when you came to the nursing home where people sometimes end up against their wishes (I do not think that anyone plans to retire in a nursing home), it doesn't smell?
I LOVE PEOPLE, that is why I do my job.
I started in the field working 7-11a only 3 days a week for $6/hr bathing elderly people at an assisted living facility. I was grateful to have a job, to help those souls who needed help.
- 3Mar 3, '10 by newbienurse111Many others have said it but I'll say it again. Do yourself a favor and become a LPN instead. The time in school is the same (sometimes shorter) if your getting an A.A.S in MA, plus your paid a little more to do virtually the same job (minus pt assessment) and it's much easier to find a job as an LPN than it is as an MA.

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CXL 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Bought this vehicle brand new in 2008. Thank God it came with a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty because we used it. Tires wore quickly even with Michellins and averaged about $1300.00 to replace. Brakes and rotors needed to be replaced and that was just under $1000. I thought that was outrageous until I've heard of people paying more than that for brakes! To top it all off, transmission failed on the freeway at 73,000 going up north with NO warning. Luckily it was covered by warranty, but even the technician said to get rid of it as soon as the warranty expires. I am a believer in the saying "you get what you pay for." Not with this car. Save yourself the hassle, stress, and money.

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CXL 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
My husband bought this car for far more than it is worth, the sunroof leaks water directly into the fuse box which corrodes the relays causing the gages and all the electrical system to shut down. On a 200 mile trip smoke was coming out from the interior and smelled like burnt wires. Took it to the dealership several times only to have them say it is not covered by the warranty or that they cant find a problem. Now at 74000+ miles the transmission has given out. Thank God for the extended warranty. Service engine light comes on and off as it pleases. Had it serviced and the Service Stabilitrak
and the Traction Control lights came on. Not worth the money being spent. Save yourself the stress

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CX 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Our very first American made vehicle.
My wife's dream SUV.
73,000 miles she calls me in tears because she is in a parking lot and can't turn the steering wheel and cars are beeping at her and she has a 2 and 4 year old in the car and pregnant with out 3rd child. (the whole reason for getting this vehicle)
We have owned it for 8 days...
I drive to the store where she is and I can barely turn the wheel! I check the power steering fluid... its fine.
Well, to make a long story short. I checked on the internet and found all the other stories about power steering problems and now, $2200 later we have out car back. THIS NEEDS A RECALL!!!

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CX 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
My 2008 Enclave recently required a new transmission.
This after only 70,000 miles and several other expensive repairs.
Until recently
when people would ask me how I liked it I responded, 'I like the way it drives but it's expensive to keep running.
Now that the transmission failed, costing over $5,000 installed, I tell everyone this will be that last GM vehicle I will own.
I will probably go back to a foreign made brand.
It's a shame.

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CXL 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
I am losing confidence in my 08 Enclave after 2 fairly expensive and out of warranty repairs.
Aug 2013- I notice an intermittent whining noise while driving.
Take care in and tell mechanic I think brake pad wear indicators are responsible and viola-I need front and rear brake replacement at a cost of $900.
Well, I think, at least the whine ill be gone.
But no!
The whine returns and is more frequent.
Then I notice a clear, oily leak towards left rear of car.
Take car in and viola- I need rack and pinion replacement on a car with 83,000 miles.
This repair comes in at $1100 and not under warranty.
This steering issue seems to be a theme with the 08 Enclave.
Will never buy GM again!

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CXL 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Bought used as a GM Certified with very low miles and a clean service history, but have since been in the shop for steering issue, Nav failure., air conditioning stopped working in back, electrical issues, and complaints about the transmission. Now it's sitting in the shop needing a new transmission with no warranty coverage.
It only has 73K miles and has been well maintained...I just dont understand how GM can ignore the transmission issues.
Just google it and see complaint after complaint about wave plate failure.
I plan on giving GM the chance to make it right, but will take additional action if necessary!

I purchased the 2008 Buick Enclave loaded in 2008 as I wanted a Luxury SUV and wanted to support the
American Car Maker's in time of crisis.
I made a huge mistake!
My car has had every seal replaced since I purchased it and barely has 60,000 miles on it.
The car has been serviced and taken care of since I purchased and babied since 2008.
The engine seals went out at 30,000 miles, numerous times the airconditioning system has been fixed over and over for problems (4+ times), steering gear/drive problems, water pump seals, rear tail gate piston's replaced, etc., etc. etc.
The care is beautiful and comfortable but the biggest lemon and disappointment I have ever purchased.

2008 Buick Enclave SUV CXL 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
Buyer Beware! I absolutely love the design of the vehicle. It's perfect for my family. As previous posts mention, the wave plate is a problem. The service engine light kept coming on and it kept losing power. I had to keep bringing it in and they said it was fixed and wouldn't have the problem again. Unfortunately, the problem persisted and after having my transmission rebuilt at only 48,000 miles, I just had it rebuilt again at 56,000 miles. Crazy right!! Unfortunately, I'm now out of warranty. I have to figure out how to get rid of this vehicle that has a carfax report with multiple transmission issues.

I am joining this discussion, as we are also having an issue with our 2008 Buick Enclave. We need a new transmission. We have a 3/5/R wave plate fracture. It appears that this is a very common issue with the 2008 Buick Enclave, yet GM does not see a need to do a recall. I see unsatisfied Enclave consumers, on these forums, that are having issues with their transmission. We brought it to the service department, expecting it was still under warranty. To our surprise it was not, due to the in service date of the vehicle. Due to this date, we had missed the warranty coverage by six months. The service department quoted us $4900 to replace the transmission.
We had a friend recommend calling GM direct and see if they had any cost assistance they could offer, let our frustration continue. I would like to cover the pain in detail, but there is not enough time. Basically after countless phone calls and two and half weeks later, I was told that they would not offer any help and per our case rep 70,000 miles for a vehicle, was a lot of miles. Imagine my shock that you could by a $50,000 vehicle and only expect to get 70,000 miles out of it. The woman who handled my case was rude and even suggested that maybe I should have bought a different brand vehicle.
I did not expect GM to absorb
the full cost, but I was hoping they would split the cost of the repair. I have owned GM vehicles for over ten years and after this experience, I am not sure I will ever buy or recommend another GM product. Any thoughts or help out there, I am open to suggestions.
