  1. I ended up taking my class here as well. I also liked the instructor. Most days class let out WAY early, which was inconvenient for me because I couldn't depend on a schedule for public transportation from the suburbs. The tests were all very easy...
  2. Want to be trained as a CNA/PCT.

    Lol, no. I adore Grey's. I just wanted to point something out. You said you regret not getting into the field earlier. Remember the recent Grey's episode where the couple came in, and all the male interns and young residents kept coming up and ask...

    rdstrasser, do you watch Grey's Anatomy?
  4. Want to be trained as a CNA/PCT.

    I'm glad you took the first step. Sometimes, that's the hardest one :) Let us know how it goes, and if you get accepted!

  7. Want to be trained as a CNA/PCT.

    Hi, I'm Stephanie, 23, just became a CNA. My mom has been a nurse (LPN then RN) for 12 years, and was a CNA before that. She has spent her entire career in Geriatrics, first LTC facility then home health. When I decided to take a CNA course, it was...
  8. CNA's graduating in March-April!

    Hey. Just got back from court. $228 in fees, 120 days "supervision" (which means I just can't get any tickets or anything), and 4 hours of driving school. The people I hit haven't contacted my insurance co., and they weren't there, so I don't gues...
  9. CNA's graduating in March-April!

    I have liability insurance, so it will cover any medical bills for them up to $25k. I'm sure I'll get lots of court costs and fines, though. It could be worse, though :) Thanks for your well wishes!
  10. CNA's graduating in March-April!

    I feel you, Shante. Just 3 days after completing my CNA course, I rear-ended a hummer in my little Chevy Prizm. My fault I was on my way to my first interview for a CNA position, and had to call to reschedule. Thankfully, they let me and I'm wor...
  11. CNA CLASSES!!!

    There probably isn't a huge difference. In my area, classes ranged from $500 to $900. Some were only 4 weeks, other were 3 months (community college). But they all teach you what you need to know to pass the state exam, and you get clinical time in...
  12. ged or high school diploma for cna?

    With my CNA class, we only had to have graduated 8th grade. But I'd check with your individual program.
  13. Bad Economy and CNA jobs

    Nope.
  14. New LPN would like CNA input please

    I don't have a lot of experience, so the only thing I can add is just LISTEN to your CNAs. If they're telling you that there's something abnormal with a pt, don't turn your back and start writing on someone elses chart and say "uh huh.." and leave i...
  15. NEW CNA GRADUATE!

    Most places allow you to work 90 days without being state certified, so long as you passed the course. Go ahead and apply. I'm working as a CNA right now, having finished my class at the end of January and not testing till March. You might be able...
