  1. Anyone at Parkland in Dallas ?

    Sorry I did not get back to this. The day I wrote this I got a call from my folks about my brother missing for a week. He was killed on the 14, 2 days later. I moved back to Boston because of it. I NEVER heard anything from the Hospital. Such b.s. ...
  2. I believe the law changed during the "Swine" flu outbreak to allow them. But has since been recanted. So according to law, your answer is NO.
  3. I have no immunization records... what do I do?

    Actually what you had was a reaction to the shot. It has nothing to do with you having immunity, period. You CAN be exempt from having it in the future due to Reaction. I would have still gotten a titer. Even if you are over 10 years, get the titer...
  4. CNA shoes - what kind to get?

    Many wear clogs, I don't like them so i don't. You want something that WILL NOT FALL OFF EASY. not sure where you are working, but bring extra pair of socks and shoes if you are going to get wet. Crocs are ok if no holes in them, but I found in a ...
  5. Also, don't waste your time taking an EKG course. They WILL teach you at a Hospital for that, all of about a day training. You are NOT reading them, just taking them as a CNA/PCT. Now a Cardio Tech I think is different, I can not say for sure as I a...

  8. Red Cross has the course for like $850 in Boston or so. IF you have never done health work, yes it is a good thing to do. I worked at a VET and was trained (on the job training, not a school) in the Navy. I was NOT Cert. Got job at a very well to ...
  9. Anyone at Parkland in Dallas ?

    Why is it that they take so long to Hire ? I had e-mailed the HR director (because it was listed on the web site) to ask how long it took. He said up to 74 days !! for a PCT/CNA position They have 16 spots open. You would think that they would w...
  10. Pca & Cna???

    A lot will depend on where you work. Nurses were the only ones that did Enemas in the hospital i worked at.
  11. Dilemma: Stay as a CNA or become a PCT

    You will NOT know if you like it by a walk through. A new car is great too till you get the first ding and start to notice all the other things that are wrong, know what I mean? I loved my floor when I first got hired as CNA. Then I found out why...
  12. what should CNA's carry at all times?

    You might want to wait until you start your first day. You will get a good understanding on what you need and WHY you need it. In Hospital floor I had no Steth because we used auto BP Pen (s) Floor sheet (of all pt in what rooms with space to write ...

    Also remember that different places call it different things. I was from Mass, CNA Or NA on the floors but in the ER I was an ER Tech. Here is the link to that place, looks like they have changed the name again to PATIENT CARE UNIT ASSISTANT II http...
  14. LPN versus CMA

    I just want to say, Great Read !! There needs to be State mandates as to what is allowed and not allowed a MA to do. Most states do not. It is unregulated which is really sad to see. If you could see where I was just last working you would be shocke...
