   brunette_cna replied to SpecialK38's topic in General Nursing

   OMG, you are so kind to share this. Thank you. I am very much the same way..Growing up I always saw death as the most horrible and tragic thing. (And it is..) Therefore always avoiding the subject. I also never lost anyone close to me and sort of con...

   Hello, Some of you may have helped with this the last time, (here is the original thread: https://allnurses.com/cna-nursing-assistant/filling-out-applications-452764.html#post4093351) but I have one more question: For those of you that had paid careg...

4. Filling Out Applications

   brunette_cna replied to brunette_cna's topic in CNA/MA

   FuzzyWuzzy ~ So did you end up putting what you really made in the "start pay/final pay" portion of the application? I'd like to put what I was acually paid so that maybe they will start me out closer to that range. Or will that even matter? Isn't th...

   @ fuzzywuzzy - Right, private duty/client. That's what I actually have on my CNA resume too. And they only will call to verify you & your services anyway right? Not like they want to know if/what you were paid. At least I would hope not. - Thanks...

   brunette_cna replied to DESTINED 2B NURSE's topic in CNA/MA

   sakura_k, I see...YES, it certainly does help! You've given me a much clearer perspective on what to do (write) and how to go about it. I never thought much about placing the emphasis on my interactions w/ people when referring to (non-medical) past ...

8. Adding Cna To Resume

   brunette_cna replied to DESTINED 2B NURSE's topic in CNA/MA

   Sakura - That's a really good idea, having a clinical exp. section. I do list "100+ hours of clinical experience" on my resume but elaborating and getting a bit more specific would be a plus. As far as the application, what did you put for your prev...

9. Filling Out Applications

   brunette_cna replied to brunette_cna's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks...So I should put my previous caregiving experience and just list it as volunteer then.(?) I agree it's better not to mention it being under the table for obvious reasons. Naturally, I doubt they would ask for under table stuff. But that's whe...
