1. CNA salary

   omgtehbunny replied to HisTreasure's topic in CNA/MA

   I work in a LTC facility in Knoxville, TN, and I was started off with no prior experience at $9.50 for second shift. I do believe that will go up slightly after six months. I know someone working first shift, with four years' experience, who makes a ...

2. NHC-CNA Training Course

   omgtehbunny replied to TNMommy's topic in CNA/MA

   We had to wear white scrubs too. I was so mad!

3. Clinicals

   omgtehbunny replied to MichaelCNA's topic in CNA/MA

   Experiences are going to vary greatly depending on where you're taking your class and what facilities you go to for your clinicals. I took mine at the Red Cross and we had two days at one LTC facility, two days at another, and one day at a hospital. ...

4. NHC-CNA Training Course

   omgtehbunny replied to TNMommy's topic in CNA/MA

   I started working at the veterans home in Knoxville with a girl who had taken the CNA course at NHC in Hendersonville. She said she really liked it, and it was nice that all her clinicals were done with the same group of people, rather than switching...

5. CNA skills exam

   omgtehbunny replied to Muttlover's topic in CNA/MA

   I can definitely second talking your way through the skill. Since I was hearing each step out loud, it helped me recognize if I was forgetting something. Also, since you can always tell the test observer if you want to change something you did, as l...

6. Interview Monday!!!!

   omgtehbunny replied to chasingthedream's topic in CNA/MA

   I totally agree. I waitressed during high school and college, so I made sure to bring up the 'working with all different types of people' aspect during my interview.

7. New CNA with meaningless experience

   omgtehbunny replied to gregmotz's topic in CNA/MA

   Have you gotten any kind of reasoning from the people in human resources where you've been applying? Or are they just calling or sending a letter that says, "Thanks, but no"? It may be worth it to just ask someone that you've interviewed with what's...

8. I passed!

   omgtehbunny replied to omgtehbunny's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks! I meant to ask in your thread when you took the class, and where you ended up getting a job? I'm nosey!

9. I passed!

   omgtehbunny posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I've been lurking here quite a while during my CNA course and finally it's all over. I took the exam once and failed the skills portion...on handwashing, mind you. In fact, all but three people in my class failed handwashing. I retook the exam yest...

10. Did you get CPR/BLS ceritified with your CNA program?

    omgtehbunny replied to nrsin4's topic in CNA/MA

    The classwork wasn't difficult for me. I did take medical terminology in high school and have worked in a tattoo shop, so I already had at least a little bit of a headstart over some people in that I knew what words meant, and I knew first aid and a...

11. Did you get CPR/BLS ceritified with your CNA program?

    omgtehbunny replied to nrsin4's topic in CNA/MA

    I went through the Red Cross program myself. The tuition included the cost of CPR/AED on the professional rescuer level as well as a first aid class.

12. I Passed My CNA State EXAM !!!!!!

    omgtehbunny replied to Lady_Vol's topic in CNA/MA

    Wow, I must have just missed you! I took the course there as well, but it was while Kristin was out on maternity leave. We had Pat, and while I got along with her really well, it seems that the majority of our class didn't pass the exam. I don't kno...

13. How was clinicals for you?

    omgtehbunny replied to nrsin4's topic in CNA/MA

    There was a lot of giggling in my class when we were practicing skills. I understood some of it, but a lot of the time it was just annoying. It would get to the point where you couldn't hear the instructor and people were acting silly just to get att...
