Shocktherapy

I have seen 2 jobs require it already. Literally said "one year of cna experience min required" but okay. Thanks!

I have been wondering on that the past couple days. But didn't know if it would effect the certification I get from my classes in schooling. I don't see how it would but ya never know. Asking the nursing building when I go back up there tomorrow to make sure and see where they might recommend

Very well stated. I'm just gonna keep doing what I am, sending in an application and contacting the HR office a few days later for a follow up. I guess I'll try to go for some nursing homes in my area as bad as I don't want to. If anything I'll just be PRN until certified and they'd made me a CNA. Maybe they would have a program that would certify me ahead of time since with my degree of study I won't be a CNA until after the fall semester of next year lol but thank you again for your advice

This hospital is not exactly the best in the world as I've noticed. I sent in my application maybe a couple weeks ago, called the HR office 3 times now (days apart of course) and different times. So far have not been able to get a hold of them. So now I'm believing it's time to apply at another hospital or try some of these nursing homes (...just really not looking forward to the poo poo u deal with at nursing homes lol been trying to avoid those)

Okay maybe I was just unclear here. I'm not searching for a nursing job dude. I'm extremely far from being close to that. I'm just wanting a job in the medical field, and like 2 years from now when I'm done with schooling I'll be a registered nurse. So again. JUST LOOKING TO GET INTO THE MEDICAL FIELD UNTIL I AM CERTIFIED FOR A CNA OR COMPLETE MY CLASSES/TEST FOR A RN.

Okay so that makes no sense. I can't get a nursing job without certification to be a CNA or a tech or some sort. Then you come and say it's not beneficial to me at all? How in the world would it not be if that's what allll these employers are asking me to have before I could get accepted into the job?? It kind of seems to me the most benifical in order for me to get my foot in the door of the medical field and actually get paid while doing so, because I'm not wanting to just volunteer or have some kind of unpaid internship

Hello guys and gals, I am fresh new into nursing. Actually not even in nursing yet. My advisor has me applying in october, in the fall I'm taking psy, bio, and math. And in spring I'm taking micro bio and my last math. Then if I'm lucky enough to get into the nursing program I can be started the following fall. My question is I am a supervisor at a golf course for 2 years now. Kind of repetitive and boring now. I'd like to get my foot into the door and get some experience to help me with nursing, but while being paid more, bc money is slowly started to be needed more and more. Would it be better to go off at a nursing home or something to get my Cna certificate since I wouldn't have it at this 2 year college I'm at until after the fall semester a year from now? I've tried applying to two jobs, 1 told me I didn't have enough experience (medical assitant) and the other I've not been able to get a reply from. (Transportor tech at local hospital). Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. 19, male, no experience in medical besides what I've learned in general biology classes:/
