  3. What is your...

    Hey speaking of teaching HS students the skills to pass, how did you line that up? How do you go about helping to teach CNA classes? Do you have to be an LPN or higher? Do you just approach the school and ask? It is something i would love to get into...
  4. CNA's moving form LTC to Acute Care

  5. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    If your daughter is mature enough to realize what is involved in this field (i.e cleaning up poop, wiping butts, etc), and she still wants to do the course and clinical time, then she is mature enough to handle seeing a mans private area. I have seen...

  10. CNA's moving form LTC to Acute Care

    So i'm just wondering how many have made this move? How long did you spend in LTC before you were taken seriously applying for a position in acute care? Did you do any additional training before you applied (phlebotomy, EKG?). Are you happy with the...

    Sounds exciting. Good luck!
  12. CNA position interview, help please

    Yeah the way they make it sound it would be a weekend rotation. It would just be really hard for me to take that kind of a pay cut, but if i do not get extended the business job, but am offered the CNA position, I think i would opt for the CNA positi...

  15. CNA Pay Options

    oh no i hear ya, believe me i have been playing devils advocate over this issue for a while now. Yeah, car paid off, no credit card debt, only debt is low interest student loans from my existing Bachelors degree. i guess i'll just wait and see what t...
