   Here in Long Island, NY you can make up to $18.75 an hour. That's what my friend is making at a nursing home.

   When I get my test date in the mail do you know if it will say what skills I will be doing? And does anyone know of a place were I can get updated information like we do when we go to inservices. I'm sure my CNA book from 2007 has old info in it...

   I've been a CNA since March 2007 and I've been out of work since November 2007. I haven't been able to find a job as a CNA anywhere!! I've been to every single nursing home in my area and they keep telling me they will hold my application for 6 month...

   We chart everything down on our CNA accountability sheets.

9. Qestions about being a CNA

   *Miss* replied to teysmith's topic in CNA/MA

   Maybe it is a state to state issue. Here in NY, were not allowed to access the patient's charts. The only thing we have access to is the patient's care plans. At the end of our shift we have to fill out our CNA accountability sheets.

11. Qestions about being a CNA

    It is in the patient's charts but that's confidential information and the Nurses Aides aren't allowed to look at them. We only see the care plans.

    *Miss* replied to teysmith's topic in CNA/MA

    Where I worked they didn't tell you if the patient had aids. They don't have to. It's a patient rights rule. While I was taking the CNA class my instructor told us that also. She said to make sure you take proper precautions with every resident becau...

    *Miss* posted a topic in New York

15. I want to be a CNA...

    *Miss* replied to LilyCat03's topic in CNA/MA

    It's very rewarding working as a CNA but it's also really hard and it's not for everyone. It's a very, very stressful job! I agree with FuzzyWuzzy. Make sure you do some research before you take the classes. Good luck to you!
