1. What states require only CNA license to work in a hospital?

   Lordday replied to Cherryrizzo's topic in CNA/MA

   In FL you don't "need" certs, but unless you're going to work in some rural area, good luck finding a hospital job without them.

2. Do you still hold doors for women?

   Lordday replied to gtshin30303's topic in Male Students

   I'm kind of slow this morning, but does "holding the door" mean holding it open for the person behind you as you enter, or holding the door open and stepping to the side so the woman can enter first? Unless its a woman I know personally, or a woman w...

3. Clinicals in Hospital

   Lordday replied to mamayogibear's topic in CNA/MA

   At the school I attended they had programs for CNA's and PCT's. The CNA's did our clinicals in an LTC, while the PCT's had one week in an LTC and three weeks in a hospital. Many of the CNA students invested a great deal of time griping about how "unf...

4. How much homework for CNA class?

   Lordday replied to cantfindmyshoes's topic in CNA/MA

   She's a native English speaker. I didn't know her situation that well but from overhearing some of her conversations she really seemed to study hard and do her homework. During tests she always asked to go into a room by herself and she was always th...

   Lordday replied to cantfindmyshoes's topic in CNA/MA

   My CNA class was four weeks, 19.5 hours in class per week for three weeks, 30 hours online, and one week of clinicals. We had reading, homework, and online tests and quizzes every night. I felt really bad because one of my classmates tried so hard......

7. Monitor Technician Unit Secretary Job

   Lordday replied to orange_dolphin's topic in Technicians

   I absolutely agree that the OP should consider all options, and the website you suggested works great as a supplement, but when a manager is getting dozens, maybe even hundreds of applications for the same job, he or she is going to filter based on p...

8. CNA Classes?

   Lordday replied to garnetgirl29's topic in CNA/MA

   I looked at the site and I would be very afraid. I'm in CNA class now and no way do I think I would be able to learn all this stuff in one day. I could just about see them going over the practical skills with you in a one-day setting, but what about ...

9. Website that reviews nursing homes

10. Monitor Technician Unit Secretary Job

    Lordday replied to orange_dolphin's topic in Technicians

    I still think taking an EKG class is a better option. The class would be more thorough and well-rounded than a four-day class or trying to teach yourself.

    Lordday replied to orange_dolphin's topic in Technicians

    A course you would want to take would be EKG technician. Community colleges usually offer it.

12. Tomorrow is the big day and I'm thrilled.

    Lordday posted a topic in CNA/MA

    For two years I have lurked on this forum. For two years I have read and learned all about being a CNA, the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have waited for the right time to sign up for a CNA class and fulfill my dream of working in healthcare and now...
