yeah i think you are right. i wont be in a miserable situation if not from the agency, and should made it sure we will be treated fairly. Guess just to have to stay till my contract ends (2 years). And it just started eventhough I have been working as a CNA for 9 months bec it is stated that my contract will start upon passing nclex. unfortunately i was able to sit for the exam after 8 mos. bec of credential eval here in MA.

hi! am fr the phils. too. just got here oct. last yr. you have contract with the agency too? actually , my agency is fine, it is the facility that i am having problem with. people are not really supportive with other nationalities, like us Filipinos.I was given 5 days orientation, then they asked me to work in our sub acute flr. but i refused bec i was not comfortable. So, i have to wait for one wk to wait for their decision to extend my orientation.So no work no pay for one wk. Aside fr the fact that I have waited also for their decision when to orient me after i passed nclex.And that was a no work no pay too. They donot have the system and have to handle more than 20 pts.in the sub acute and more than 30 pts, in long term flr doing medpass and treatment and admission. Its very risky. I hope you'll go to the hospitals, but if not. some LTC have good reputation. so good luck.

"long term care" other term for nursing home

am planning of buying out bec people who i am working with in ltc are not very supportive of me. they gave me 5 days of orientation only and i dont think i am comfortable
