1. Current CNA Pay Range

   SlebDeb replied to nursemama13's topic in CNA/MA

   I work in memory care in Washington state and make 11.50 an hour. .50 is for shift difference. -.- I'm honestly considering getting a different job. The pay is low for the area ($12 - $13, no experience is the norm.)

2. Tips for knowing if that's the place you wanna work

   SlebDeb replied to SlebDeb's topic in CNA/MA

   Thank you for your tips! I'll try to remember, write them down, and go to some facilities. I'm sacred though because it seems that most facilities here aren't that great. The few that are great want you to have at least 1 year or 2 years sometimes. T...

3. CNA Exam

   SlebDeb replied to cocostar's topic in CNA/MA

   There should be a practice test online. The written is fairly easy. There's isn't really main part, unless it's different everywhere. They try to cover every topic that you went over in class. I'd worry more about the skills! Good luck to you as wel...

4. Walla Walla CC Fall 2016

   SlebDeb replied to aroses's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh ok. I can see why you would want to do CC. They are normally harder to get into because they temd to be cheaper. Also depending on your gpa you might qualify for scholarships and what not. Depends on the school as well. Hmm...have you found their...

5. Walla Walla CC Fall 2016

   SlebDeb replied to aroses's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats! Depending on your grades, test, and retakes (if any) you may have more or less options available. Also have you looked at BSN programs or do you not want that? I've heard shoreline CC is great, but really competitive. Tacoma CC? Are you no...

   When in doubt...just get it anyway.

7. CNA Exam

   SlebDeb replied to cocostar's topic in CNA/MA

   I didn't take the test through an organization, or NNAAP (is this an organization? o.o). I didn't pass my first time because I was just too nervous! My second time I barely study, but I was a lot calmer and I passed! ^-^ The instructor will tell you ...

8. Tips for knowing if that's the place you wanna work

   SlebDeb posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Sorry about the long title. I could think of another way to word it. I was wondering what are some tips you would give someone for looking into a job? I just passed my CNA test 5/9/2016, so I'm still kind of lost. Where would you search to make sure ...

10. Retaking courses too many times

    SlebDeb replied to SlebDeb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes. Haha. It's basically the first two years before you get into the nursing program. Nothing special.

11. Retaking courses too many times

    SlebDeb replied to SlebDeb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hmm, finding schools with the point based system is far and few between in Washington it seems. I have seen more colleges only taking 2 max retakes. (Or 2 takes of the class whole. o.e Idk how to phrase that.) Aw man! Thanks I'll PM you, after I mak...

12. Retaking courses too many times

    SlebDeb posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would be done with my Pre-nursing degree next January, but now I won't because I failed. This was my second time taking Chemistry 101 and Elementary Statistics. Most colleges I've seen won't take more than two tries, so I already don't qualify for ...
