   Don't be scared because if you are it will show. I too just obtained my CNA license and landed a job as a PCT in a hospital with no experience. I'm starting nursing school next year as well. Just focus on your enthusiasm to learn as much as you poss...

   tpanative replied to Nurse-One's topic in Florida

   Hi everyone, I have a question. Did anyone take micro at PBCC online while taking the lab at another school? I'm in Tampa and I have no idea if they will let me enroll in just the online lecture or not. Insight? I'm a student now at HCC and they are...

   tpanative replied to combkk's topic in CNA/MA

   So I went to Woodbridge in Tampa today. Asked about an application. The receptionist dragon denied me an application because I don't have a year experience in a nursing home. Now i'm really getting discouraged, and foreclosure looks more and more lik...

   WOW which hospital? I passed the test on July 23rd and still haven't found a job. It's getting scary now...my unemployment ran out a week and a half ago and i'm starting to get scared (house payments, etc...).

   Booke the 2 extra months is for people starting the programs in '10, not this August. Evidently the instructors have been trying to get this addition for a while. I'm a bit upset, however, that it is remaining 5 days a week rather than cut to 4. Most...

   tpanative replied to coadestone's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Did anyone else get the letter in the mail stating the program is being extended from 12 to 14 months (the day program)? I emailed the advisor and she told me the only difference is the day will be a half hour shorter. I was hoping for a 4 day rather...

10. Have you been able to find a job eaily after taking the CNA course?

    tpanative replied to kiss04bam's topic in CNA/MA

    I assume staying on topic is impossible on a website full of professionals. I too am curious about the job finding success of recently licensed CNAs.

    tpanative replied to combkk's topic in CNA/MA

    I took the Pinellas med-prep in Pinellas Park. IMO a waste of money. The "nurse" walked 10 people through the 21 skills and then basically went to play on the computer in a different room while we practiced. I couldn't attend a practice session due t...

    CVICUismydream: 32 position, wow...but does that mean they are going to actually fill them, and don't they require 6 months to a year experience? flg8r36: My skills were range of motion (upper extremeties), catheter care, and urinary drain bag. I had...

    I passed the state CNA exam today. I must say, seeing difficulty in finding CNA work is really discouraging.

    tpanative replied to coadestone's topic in Pre-Nursing

    560 was the number of people that actually applied. I'm assuming fewer than that a few less (though not much less) showed up for the orientation, and even fewer showed up for the TEAS. When they announced in our orientation that there wasn't going to...

    Very cool...we March folk can use you as a resource for what to expect then. January was my 1st choice but March is fine. August was my 3rd choice....getting funding this soon would have been an issue. This gives me time to save money. How did you do...
