Anyone know what the CNA uniform currently is at CSCC? I already have my CNA certification but I have been out of the field for 18 months now and want to get back in, but I want to take a brush up course. Besides, the course is only like $500.00 so it isn't that bad. I used to be a CNA on the ICU of Kent General Hospital up until 18 months ago and I loved it, but I always wanted to give a try at being a flight attendant and I have now and I am ready to start my future in healthcare for good!!! I had enough hours to renew my CNA certification, which expires October 14th 2008, so I am not taking the course to recertify, just to brush up my knowledge. Besides, you can never have to much knowledge! :-) :nurse:

When I took the class in fall of '06 it was white scrub bottoms and a navy scrub top.

Are you sure it was navy blue or was it ceil blue? :nurse:

P.S. Anyone reading this...PLEASE pray for me and my flight crew, my layover is in New Orleans tonight and we work the flight out on Sunday at 4:22PM as long as our aircraft gets here on time. If it gets here to late and we can't take off by 6PM, then we are stuck here!!!

I am positive it was navy. Now I don't know if they changed it since I took the class, but I doubt it. Our uniforms were CSCC's colors. Lots of on-time vibes and thoughts for you to GET OUTTA THERE. Please keep us posted!

It depends on what instructor you have. Rita, the department head, puts "white pants/navy top" in the syllabus. But our instructors let us have any combination of white or navy. And for shoes, they were flexible also. Most of our class wore all navy during clinicals. I had Gail Meier & Barb Beach as co-instructors. It was a fun class and they both were very nice ladies. We did clinicals at Westminster Thurber. I never studied for the tests and got an A. It was very easy.

My flight crew and I were able to get out before the airport shut down, but of course it didn't come easy. The hotel felt like a jail cell since there wasn't a single window that wasn't covered with plywood. There wasn't a single place to get anything to eat at all and we hadn't eaten since we left Wilmington, NC so when it was all said and done, we went 26hrs without food. The hotel originally told us that we were being evacuated at 12PM to the airport and the hotel was shutting down, well that didn't last long. We were all woken up at 8AM by the front desk calling our rooms to tell us to be ready to evacuate at 11AM to the airport. Mind you, I don't work my flight out until 4:22PM. We got to the airport and I have seen jungle monkeys with more sophistication than these people. The gate agents were announcing "we have 20 seats open on this flight, first come first serve any airline voucher!". At that second you saw people running and jumping over chairs and pushing people down on the floor just to get one of those seats on an earlier flight. They didn't care if you were elderly or a toddler, they were running you over! There was garbage everywhere! To top it off, there were people sleeping in every inch of the airport! I went to the bathroom to do what us humans normally do and open the stall to see this man had fallen asleep on the toilet seat!? It was bad enough to crawl over the endless mounds of toilet paper and paper towels that were all over the floor, but that took the cake! A lot of fliers were upset at Jetblue because they stopped flying at 1pm and the airport was open until 6pm. Either way the whole experience will definantly stick with me and I have NO plans of going to New Orleans again anytime soon!

On a lighter note, so you say white pants and navy top? That seems to be common for most CNA courses in the USA. I just bought the current CNA workbook and study book that CSCC uses and will be picking them up soon from the downtown bookstore. I may not need to take the class after all, maybe just a good review book! :nurse:
