1. I really do not like going to work as a CNA everyday...what do I do?

   mgsp14 replied to Duice88's topic in CNA/MA

   I disagree... I think you should try and find another facility to work at. I don't mind going to work, and I can honestly say that I enjoy what I do for work. I work at a LTC facility, and have great co-workers. The work is not too strenuous, eith...

2. Willl I ever be able to go fast enough?

   mgsp14 replied to Anise1's topic in CNA/MA

   You're not alone... I worked as a PCA at a private home for 2 years providing 1:1 care. After earning my certification, I was hired at a LTC facility, which sounds similar to the one you are working at. There a 20 residents, and 2-3 CNAs on at a ti...

3. Becoming a CNA but not moving on to LPN or RN

   mgsp14 replied to Floridadreamer's topic in CNA/MA

   I work at a LTC center, and the physical labor isn't too strenuous... it's actually a pretty laid back facility. There are about 20 residents, and 2-3 CNAs on at a time. The pay isn't too bad; starting pay with less than 1 year experience is $10.50...

6. MMC CNA course...

   mgsp14 replied to mgsp14's topic in Maine

   Also, MMC recommends that students do the first 2 weeks assignments before classes start. I only have the first weeks assignments completed. Do you think I will be far behind? Do students need the scrubs right away? I haven't bought mine yet... Th...

   mgsp14 replied to mgsp14's topic in Maine

   That is what I am stressed about... how time consuming the reading and workbook is. I took notes on the whole PSS book, and I am taking my time going through the chapters and taking notes. That process seems to be too time consuming, so I am wonder...

   Oh good! I guess it can't be too bad then. Thanks for your response :nuke:

9. MMC CNA course...

   mgsp14 posted a topic in Maine

   CNA classes start 1/09 and I am nervous about the workload. I've been employed as a PCA since July 2007, performing basic duties, along with inserting catheters (isn't that a nurses job?), handing pills to a patient, bathing, ambulating, and using a ...
