  2. What have you failed the CNA skills exam for?

    Congratulations Nobhill! It's such a good feeling to pass...I think I was more nervous for the CNA exam than the bar exam! (because I know I can take written exams, but this is the first time I ever had to perform skills for a test). Have you start...
  3. B.A + CNA Certification

    I have not found that having a degree makes any difference in CNA pay - the only thing that seems to matter is CNA experience.
  4. Taking my CNA Class

    I wrote all the steps to the skills on big index cards, which made it easier to practice and just review them when I had time. As for the written tests, just keep up with the reading, review your notes, and you should be fine. And for supplies - I a...
  5. Skills test -- question

    Sorry, I'm not from Florida. Maybe you could contact the Board of Nursing or Red Cross in your area for information about the exam. Good luck.
  6. first CNA interview

    It sounds like you had a great interview! Can you call or email the DON and give her the correct number of your reference? I think this will be better than her calling the reference and having it be a wrong number. Also, you may want to send her a ...
  7. Free scrubs??

    Yes, I do have an orientation for a few days. I have to go in for a physical next week and HR told me I could pick up the scrubs then, so it sounds like I'll be able to take them home. Thanks, I'm very excited about the job! But very nervous too......
  8. Free scrubs??

    I have a new job as a CNA in a hospital that will start in a few weeks. I emailed HR to ask if there is a certain color scrubs that I am required to wear, and was told that they will be provided for me by the hospital. I'm assuming this means that ...
  9. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    Just passed yesterday, phew! I was fine for the written, but was a nervous wreck for the skills - I thought for sure I failed and was shocked when she told me I passed! Starting a job at a hospital in a couple of weeks, so I'll be getting nervous so...
  10. Skills test -- question

    Thank you!!
  11. Skills test -- question

    Hi everyone, I have my skills test coming up and there's something I can't figure out -- I don't remember learning it in class and can't find it in the book, so I'm hoping someone can help me. When you give a pt a bedpan and toilet paper, where do y...
  12. Rehab Aide?

    Floridadreamer, I'm in the northeast. I found the job just by looking searching "rehab aide" jobs on indeed.com, and I applied online. I didn't have any related experience (and just finished a CNA class, so no CNA experience either), but I expresse...
  13. Rehab Aide?

    Mindy, Happy 40th! (I'll be there quite soon myself) Just think, you have exciting new changes to start your 40s!!
  14. Rehab Aide?

    That's a good idea about shadowing in different settings - I actually have a friend of a friend who is a school OT, so I can definitely spend some time with her. I've also seriously considered PTA, and have been having a hard time trying to decide b...
  15. Rehab Aide?

    Hi Mindy, It looks like we have the same plan, as I am also thinking about going for OTA next fall and then hopefully OT. I'm hoping that this experience will be helpful for getting into school, and eventually getting a job -- also I think I'll be a...
