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...
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 ...
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...
1st off I HOPE you do not spell like that in real life ! Take the CAPS off and pay attention to what you are typing. It is hard to read your posts. Get into the habit of typing correctly and accurately. Sorry to scold you. 2nd, If you want to get in...
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 ...

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...

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...
Thank you for looking and to all that post responses, I want to REALLY thank you for all the info that you give to others. Where you help one, you help about 10 others :spin: I live in MA and maybe moving just south of FTW/Dallas. I was about to sta...
