the class was very easy, to the point that i felt like i was wasting my time for the majority of the duration. we had some days where we were only in the classroom and some mixed between the classroom and the floor. there is a day or two towards th...

i'm really not sure what the average wage is for an stna in akron. i suppose it depends on where you work (LTC facility, home health, hospital). i would try calling places you're interested in and asking.

yes, they do charge. i couldn't find a place that didn't charge. the early-bird fee was $450, the regular one $500. It will also cost you to take the state test. It was $96 last summer, i doubt it has changed. i'm working at Edwin Shaw PRN (on-c...

i am actually planning on pursuing an RN,BSN. i have most of my prereq's done at UA, but cannot get into the program. i am looking to get my LPN and then do the LPN to RN program since i already have the credits to get my BSN at Akron.
I'm currently working in Akron as an STNA and going to school full-time. I'm just wondering if anyone has gone to NIT (national institute of technology) in Cuyahoga Falls for either the LPN or RN program. Did you like it there? Has anyone gone anyw...

i guess it would depend on where you're at. there are a lot of postings for part time jobs in my area. if nothing else, contact the places you want to work at and ask.

i guess its different in every state. where are you?? just make sure that during the test you verbalize everything you are doing. that was the hardest part for me. ohh, and remembering to pull the privacy curtain and lowering the bed back down to its...

stow-glen does offer the classes, but that is almost in hudson. bath manor would be a lot closer to cleveland. i've also heard that the teaching is better at bath manor. but they do offer classes once a month as well. the prices and length of time in...

it would be a bit of a drive, but bath manor in fairlawn offers the classes once a month. they are two weeks long and the teachers are very thorough! you can also take the state test there. the red cross in cleveland does offer nurse aid training, b...

i've applied to a couple of places, one being akron city hospital. but i'm waiting to hear back. i'm hoping to find a place that will work around my school schedule.

the test proctor is very VERY nice and helpful! she explains everything and answers any questions you have. as far as the working sink goes... you go to the bathroom to do the handwashing. then you have to pretend to wash your hands at the fake sink ...

ChangeHappens replied to Wi5eguy's topic in CNA/MA
if you're talking about CNA classes, i wore scrubs everyday even if we weren't on the floor. but i guess it might depend on where you're taking your classes. check with the facility. i didn't have to wear a certain color...we could wear prints. so be...
