I have my FIRST INTERVIEW !!

Seriously! what state?

But she might be working on per diem pay and you'll be getting full time with bene's? If that's the case you always get lower pay. But look at it this way.. you'll get experience and even if you only stay for a year you'll be ahead of the game. Good luck!

Hi Guys

I'm back.I had my another interview and they hired me as an STNA.I'm so happy and also scared.Tomorrow I'm going for my first day orientation.Could you tell me what is important at my first day?Thank you all of you.

If your orientation is anything like mines, mainly what you do for the first couple of days is just fill out paperwork, watch videos & read through packets regarding procedures of the facility, company policies & etc.. After that we had to follow one of the other aides & learn about each resident's needs, care plan etc..
