   CNAMichelleC replied to lossholly's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm in east TN and work home health for our local hospital. I get $15 an hour plus .51 cent a mile. That's on the high end for CNAs here. LTCs typically pay anywhere from $8.50 to $11 in my area.

2. Job Opportunities

   CNAMichelleC replied to CNAEB's topic in CNA/MA

   You are allowed to hold active certifications in multiple states, however I believe VA does not share reciprocity with NC. I think in order to be certified in Virginia, you would have to take their state approved training and test. You can double che...

5. What kind of extra credentials will help me find employment as a CNA?

   CNAMichelleC replied to ZombieMomma's topic in CNA/MA

   I was out of the workforce for 21 years when circumstances dictated that I find a job. I've been a CNA for about 7 months and I was hired straight out of school. I interviewed for two jobs, one at a LTC and one for the hospital. I was offered a job a...

6. I need a job

   CNAMichelleC replied to vanie29's topic in CNA/MA

   I work in home health and do not do any homemaking services. I take vitals and assist with bathing. I think when you apply for jobs, it's important to look for CNA and not Caregiver positions. At least in my area, Caregiver indicates that you will al...

9. Looking for a good stethoscope

   CNAMichelleC replied to kikkidee6's topic in CNA/MA

   I am a CNA, working home health/hospice for my local med center. They did provide me with a stethoscope but I couldn't hear a thing through it. I ended up buying an MDF for about $25. For taking vitals, it's fabulous! Plus the company provides replac...

    Congratulations! I felt the same way when my clinicals ended!

11. Clinical Experiences?

    CNAMichelleC replied to TurtleCat's topic in CNA/MA

    I loved my clinicals as well. We were in a fairly large LTC and assigned to a different CNA everyday. I was determined to learn as much as possible so volunteered to do anything and everything I could. My first 5 mins there and I was in the shower ro...

12. Group Home CNA

    CNAMichelleC replied to t2091's topic in CNA/MA

    I actually did my clinicals at a Life Care Center, here in TN. I love it and would have worked there but the drive from my house was a little too far. It may depend on the individual facility.

15. Anyone have a pre-employment Physical?

    CNAMichelleC replied to CNAMichelleC's topic in CNA/MA

    You're right as far as glucose and cholesterol, just couldn't for the life of me figure out why they would need those for employment. I'm a CNA too, btw :)
