  1. Las Vegas CNA/Unit Coord. jobs?

    Thanks for the feedback, all. I will keep after the HR people I guess and keep looking for any type of work I can get in the meantime. :)
  2. Things you wish you knew before clinicals?

    I know this will probably sound silly, but I actually found feeding a little tricky. Not the mechanics, but drawing the line between encouraging and pushing against their wishes to eat or drink more when you know they need it. The classes make such a...
  3. Las Vegas CNA/Unit Coord. jobs?

    Hi all, I am planning a move to Las Vegas in July/August and am wondering how hard it is likely to be for a brand new CNA with 0 medical experience (but 15+ years of tech support/help desk/training background) to land a Unit Coordinator job. I was a...
  4. Congrats! Enjoy the classes (wow, about 3x more $ than my CNA+BLS class in MI, but includes more training than just CNA...nice! Good thing you have a grant!)! :yelclap:
  5. how will i remember all of this..

  6. How did your clinicals go?

    A fustercluck, lol, good word. It does sound like yours didn't go quite as planned...but I like how yours was planned, anyway. We had a couple of times where we'd go to do something and find our Rs. had been put to bed, or had their care charted b...
  7. How did your clinicals go?

    Thank you all so much for your responses! I am so glad to know I'm not the only one that had such an awkward clinical experience...and to know that doesn't mean I can't do the job. I have learned from the experience, for sure (and will continue to l...
  8. How did your clinicals go?

    I just finished my CNA clinicals at a nursing home and I don't feel great about how it went. I was really nervous as I have never done any kind of health care work, and I know how fragile those elderly residents are. I'm normally pretty confident; I...

  10. 2nd Interview

    That's fantastic! Congratulations!! :)
  11. Repitable CNA schools

    I didn't know anyone to ask for recommendations in my area (SW MI) so I just looked on the MI BON website for approved CNA programs and chose one from their list. (Advance Medical Training, Inc.) They have small 4-week classes (6-8 students) and prov...
  12. Thanks! Love "Slow down, trigger happy!" lol I have a free app on my android phone called Speed Anatomy. Good for starting out at least. I haven't gotten too far into it yet.

  14. 2nd Interview

    Ooh, that's exciting! Good luck to you. I hope you get it!! :)
  15. Job Hunting/ Do I become a CNA?

    No problem. I'm taking it at a local medical training center (Advance Medical). They were listed on my state's board of nursing's approved training list and their class schedule worked out best for me.
