2. Testing during CNA/LNA interview?

   newLNA replied to newLNA's topic in CNA/MA

   Yes, the application is for a LTC facility. I sent out a bunch of resumes and this place was the only one to send me back something to fill out first. Another thing that's weird, is that this place is also making me fill out paperwork for work refe...

   I saw these nursing assistant video lessons somewhere on this site before and was SO happy when I found them. I LOVE having them! They are very useful - but keep in mind that different places do procedures differently. For example, when I was lear...
