1. How do you get a job as a CNA when you have no experience?

   Miwila replied to rgirl808's topic in CNA/MA

   I've never heard of LTC work being an impediment to gaining hospital employment. If a CNA in LTC finds he or she can't get hired at a hospital, then they ought to go to their community college and take classes in EKG and Phlebotomy. Upgrade your skil...

2. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

   Miwila replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in CNA/MA

   If it's any consolation, these abrasive teachers kind of sound like a lot of the nurses you'll have to work under. So maybe they're just trying to get you prepared for the "real world".

3. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

   Miwila replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm always wary of private training centers. The teachers and teaching methods in some of these places are just shoddy and unpolished.

4. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

   Miwila replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in CNA/MA

   Can I ask what kind of institution you're taking this CNA class at? Is it a Community College, the Red Cross, or a private training center?

5. Better to take an actual "PCT" class or just Phlebotomy??

   Miwila replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Technicians

   Either class is probably of equal value. As an above poster said, if you want to be a PCT in a hospital, take a PCT class, and if you want to make yourself marketable as an EKG tech or a Phlebotomist, take classes that specify in those areas. Especia...

6. What is so hard about A&P 1?

   Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the youtube tip. I would never have thought of that.

7. What is so hard about A&P 1?

   Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Exactly how much do you need to know chem to be sucessful in this course? My school doesn't require chem as a pre-req either but it is "highly recommended". If A&P is already challenging, I'm nervous about enrolling without first taking a course ...

8. What is so hard about A&P 1?

   Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I appreciate all this insight. I recently took a biology class and it was as if the harder I studied the worse I did on tests. I felt overwhelmed with foreign information. In retrospect, I figure I had a professor who literally expected her students ...

9. What is so hard about A&P 1?

   Miwila posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm planning on taking A&P 1 next semester and I am wondering what makes it so difficult to pass? I already knew it was going to be challenging, but I've been thinking it was more along the lines of heavy memorization. However, reading this forum...

10. Looking for my first CNA job

    Miwila replied to KB24's topic in CNA/MA

    Sorry to hear that. I've always been curious about what makes some R.N.'s "tick", what goes on in their heads that they treat aides like that. Aides are there to help; you would think nurses could be a little more supportive.

    Oh dear. Disillusioned after 3 weeks huh?

12. Everest College

    Miwila replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona

    Anything is believable when it comes to Everest. Once they get that government money for placing your body in one of their classes, they don't care if you learn or not. They don't care if you're eventually able to find a job or not. I wonder if one o...

    i know; she annoys me every time.

14. Everest College

    Miwila replied to glmartin's topic in Arizona

    Not so much for the worse. For too long for-profits have been charging extremely high tuition for substandard education. By the time students realize they've been scammed, it's too late. It's about time the government started to look at these "school...
