About Cristae

Cristae specializes in CNA II/Telemetry Technician.


I became a CNA in February 2011. I worked for 6 months in a nursing home then moved to Florida with my boyfriend who is going to flight school. I’m now working PRN in the med/surg area in a hospital. I hope to get into a nursing program after I pay some school off.

    I'll second that Kindred is a great starter. That's where I started working and there were a lot of great people that took the time to show me the ropes.

    Why not try working each one to see which one you prefer?

  10. Asking any & all CNA's in FL

    An answer would be very greatly appreciated as I don't know what's going on with these either! I just got reciprocity from Idaho to Florida and CEU is foreign to me. I am having a hard time finding a job here in Florida, could this be a reason?

    I have worked in LTC for 6 months and relocated to Florida. I'm having a hard time finding a job anywhere.
  12. Battling your CNA colleagues

    I agree with everything Northernguy said. I only have a half of year experience, and especially when I first got hired I was always told what to do. But it never really stopped, because I was still the new kid on the block. I learned to be assertive ...
