  1. So where I live there is a waitlist of about three years to start the ADN program. I would like to apply to any Cal States that have programs that start in Summer 2013 (so I dont have to break my rental lease). Do any programs start in summer or just...
  2. CNA Instuctor wants students to bath each other before real clinicals

    I can see how you would have an issue with the instructor requiring you to take everything off. My point was that no one in my class had any problems giving partial bed baths because even though we 'disrobed' to preform them we were still wearing tan...
  3. CNA Instuctor wants students to bath each other before real clinicals

    I'm sorry but could you please replace the word 'that' with what you intend to say. I get easily confused sometimes. No LPN or RN (I'm not sure which your instructor is) would risk loosing their license by asking students to get necked as part of cla...
  4. Rant: I already hate my job

    *hug* hang in there. If it makes you feel any better I wish I had your job or any CNA job, no matter how miserable the facility!
  5. I have applied to dialysis tech jobs with a CNA cert and they never call me for an interview. They want someone who has completed a hemodialysis tech certification or at the very least phlebotomy... The two are very different jobs.
  6. CNA + medical assisant

    Thanks for the advice TheCommuter! I have noticed there are just about as many MA jobs here as there are CNA jobs (which is not many for both) and they pay between 12-14 an hour instead of 9-10 an hour. However all the shifts are 8-4 or 9-5 instead o...
  7. CNA Instuctor wants students to bath each other before real clinicals

    In my CNA class we gave each other partial bed baths. We were told to wear tank tops and boxer like shorts so that our partners could practice undressing the robe and dressing with a button up shirt as well as bathing one another. We did not actually...
  8. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

    Yeah I'm signed up with a HHA and so far they have not had any openings other than overnights which they call and offer me even though I specified I'm only available from 7am to 4pm.
  9. Did either of you go to the IOT in Redding? I'm pondering applying but I'm not sure if I could get enough financial aid. It's either that or wait three more years for the local ADN program. Please spam me with your experience at IOT. Thanks
  10. CNA + medical assisant

    I am having trouble finding a CNA job during a day shift when my kids are in daycare. I would qualify for a WIA grant to cover tuition and supplies for a semester long MA program at the community college. Will I be more apt to find a 7-3 shift as a M...
  11. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

    She is a licensed child care provider, she was recommended by the county office of education! None of the other referrals are able to take my kids by tomorrow night. I'm just glad that she realized she could not handle a spirited toddler and didn't d...
  12. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

    Thanks for the kind words! When my kids were napping my dog got an earful. The worst part is I drank a whole pot of chai tea before leaving so I'm going to be up till ten anyways. There are three in home childcares, the lady that kicked them out, one...
  13. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

    Thank you for your optimism! I doubt I will find alternative childcare because of my location. Would it be too out of line to ask if they have any first shift positions? When I interviewed I told them that day shift is what I would prefer so I'm gues...
  14. I have had the worst day ever and just need to vent. I am a single mom and have no family near me. I use a county subsidy to pay for daycare. I was finally offered a CNA job but the shift is not when any centers are open and there are only three in h...
  15. If i become a CNA before nursing school where does it put me?

    Your question is not clear to me. Some nursing programs require you to be a CNA to apply, some award extra points for the certificate. You do not get out of any classes just for being a CNA. A lot of pre nursing students work as CNAs while doing thei...
