1. Question about Henry Ford Hospital?

   ThisIsntSybil replied to ThisIsntSybil's topic in Michigan

   Thank you for all of the replies! One of the reasons I applied for that job at HF is because of all the good things I hear about the hospitals. It was for an OB Tech position (midnights) at Wyandotte. I'm currently on the waiting list at HFCC for the...

2. Question about Henry Ford Hospital?

   ThisIsntSybil posted a topic in Michigan

   Hello. I recently applied to a job at Henry Ford Hospital. There is an option to check the status of your application on their website. For this particular position, my status is "Preliminary screen". It's been at that particular status for a few wee...

   Oh yeah, I know =) I meant my volunteering gig at the hopsital. I am frequently in the ER and ICU monitoring hand washing and that sort of thing. It's nothing I'm worried over...lol. And thank you.

   My point exactly--What are they going to go if an employee comes in with N/V or diarrhea! Let them get it all over the store and disgust the customers/employees?! I forgot to add, I volunteer at a hopsital, in the infection control unit. What happens...

5. Medical Assisting questions

   ThisIsntSybil replied to Brandi8's topic in General Nursing

   Becoming an MA in 8 weeks? How is that even possible? The program I am attending is a year and a half, and that's only if you test out of the English and Math courses. Please take my advice--Do not go to either of these schools. The online one sound...

7. boards need to regulate MA's

   ThisIsntSybil replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

   Oh no, I didn't think you were calling ALL MAs stupid/careless, but I know there is a problem with some doing stupid or careless things (i.e.--working outside of their scope, etc). Here is a website that gives a general idea of the scopes of practic...

8. boards need to regulate MA's

   ThisIsntSybil replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

   Also, I would like to say this: I don't think most MAs go out and say that they are nurses--I know some are ignorant and do, but not all of them. It is a problem with the culture and society--Anytime they see a woman in scrubs, they automatically ass...

9. boards need to regulate MA's

   ThisIsntSybil replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

   MAs do have to maintain CEU's, otherwise they will lose their certification status. Yes, you can work as an uncertified MA, however, most Doctors (at least in my area) are looking only for those who are Certified or Registered (MAs can be registered,...
