   nobhill replied to AcidicLemons's topic in Pre-Nursing

2. What have you failed the CNA skills exam for?

   nobhill replied to CNA1488's topic in CNA/MA

   Here were some the reasons people in my school's last class didn't pass, and the person who didn't pass today: - For feeding, giving the patient the wrong tray [there were two trays with similar names] - Telling the proctor you couldn't fin...

3. Previous Job interview question

   nobhill replied to RN-Ella's topic in Career Support

   Check the box, because not doing so indicates that there was a problem. If the employer is smart and doesn't want to be liable for defamation and/or blacklisting, they won't say anything negative [what the laws are depend on your state.] Generally, ...

5. SFSU **PLEASE HELP!!!**

   nobhill replied to nyashan's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can expedite your transcript and hand deliver it to them. I had a problem at SFSU, but not in the nursing school. For some reason, they could never get the electronic transcript from the community college I attended. It took three months and i...

   nobhill replied to np7797's topic in Career Support

   I will add my two cents, coming from the legal field and going into the health care field. Barbara Sher - Read any of her books--they are great for someone contemplating a career change. See her books: I could do anything if only I knew what it was...

9. Quit NY CNA class

   nobhill replied to Meesh59's topic in Technicians

   Was this a private school or program? How much did it cost? I would speak to the administration and explain your concerns about the instructor. I would also say that you are there to get an education, not pay to be abused and humiliated in front of...

10. Need advice please

    nobhill replied to DianeS's topic in Geriatric

    If asked about the reason you are leaving, I would not go into details about the true reason. Potential employers will assume that you are a troublemaker, even though that isn't true. I would keep it vague and professional. Say "it just wasn't a ...

11. I quit my good paying job to attend a CNA class. Anyone else?

    nobhill replied to Ling07's topic in CNA/MA

    nobhill replied to Ling07's topic in CNA/MA

    Well, I am switching from attorney to CNA. While I always wanted to work in a hospital environment, in college I focused on business and law classes. I spent my legal career helping people and working on high profile cases. However, after achievi...

14. i dont wanna be a nurse

    nobhill replied to guest01/18/17's topic in Career Support

    You may want to apply your nursing skills and education by working in a law firm. What you learned in nursing school would be invaluable to plaintiff's lawyers handling personal injury or medical cases. Most lawyers don't know anything about nursin...

15. "I'm on a break right now"

    nobhill replied to mcnasty's topic in CNA/MA

    I had to comment on this thread. While I'm still a student [i'm going into nursing from another career [employment attorney] and am taking classes right now.] I can't believe how poorly run so many of these facilities so blatantly violate the wage...
