Two situations. Situation #1: I was taking my clinicals for becoming a CNA three weeks ago. One of the CNA was mentoring me and was also working with a new CNA in the facility. The girl who just started the job was helping my mentor with the hoyer (I...

I got my CNA about two weeks ago and still have not find a job yet. I would like to know everyone's opinion with Nursing Homes. Which do you recommend me to apply?? I heard Lakeview or somewhere in Stillwater has a good nursing home, anyone know anyt...

Thank you very much for replying to me :) I think I will look into the woodbury one. hehe. I want to work in a nursing home and then move onto a hospital when I feel that I am experienced enough ^__^ Thanks again! -Choua

Spring semester is starting this month on the 16. I am also enrolled in the CNA program at Century College, but I was wondering what some of the experienced professions think or their opinions on my upcoming school/work schedule. I will be a full-tim...

Just to update you folks, I did not work third shift while taking my CNA. I did pass my state exam I am now trying to find a place to work. I was thinking about Cerenity. Is there any other places that you guys would recommend me? A facility that i...

What is this place called that pays you for training? -Choua

I asked this once, and everyone told me MN does not offer free training..that they know of. They did tell me that a nursing home or hospital will pay for you if you work for them under a contract. If you are not working for any of those two, take the...

Hi, I was just wondering where I can find Mantoux/PPD in Minnesota. What is it and please give me the closest sites in twin cities. St. Paul would be okay. Is there a site where I can look this up? because I tried googling it, but could not find any....

Wow, that is cheap. Is it expensive at a clinic/hospital? hehe. Thank you so much Casi. What would I do without you? hehe. -Choua

Thanks so much! :]] What happens if I am exposed? Not saying I am/have, just curious :]] -Choua

what's the difference between ADN & CNA? what does a adn do? also, does a nursing assistant and home health aide have different duties and which one is ranked higher in education? and i'm confused with the NA/HHA exam vs. the NNAAP exam. what's t...

My dad always told me to go into nursing because he said that people who want to become a nurse gets their tuition paid fully. Is that true? & he says he knows many people who had all their tuition paid for & didn't have to worry at all about...

Thank you, thank you! I still don't know how to use this site. lol. I guess I need to explore the forums a little more. hehe. Thanks again. -Choua

That's just sad. Maybe I should move somewhere else where they're experiencing nursing shortage. -Choua

Okay, its not official yet, but for sure I'm going to apply for the CNA training my school provides. But being a full-time student & about to be in the training program, I won't have time to volunteer, and I so badly want to volunteer. Mondays &a...

Hmm, I never really thought about that. I guess now that you mention it, I probably want to volunteer Saturdays too since I have so much to do already. Thanks :) And going back to what MBA2BRN was talking about, I still don't understand the whole BSN...

That sounds good enough for me. But what shall I do or say when the hospital calls me? I already sent them a letter asking if I could volunteer just yesterday. And I do think I should volunteer after I'm certified (hopefully.) By then, I already have...

Oh thank you so much :flowersfo I'm trying to find hospitals, nursing homes, companies with this issue, but all of the ones I researched on is looking for people with experience. If anyone does know a place in the twin citis of Minnesota, do let me ...

my daddy wants me to become a anesthetist, but i'm not sure i'll be able to do the things they have to do. i mean, if i take classes for it in college, i know for sure i wouldn't memorize all the information needed to remember. i'm a bad learner esp...

Is there any place in Minnesota that has a cheap fee for taking a nursing assistant program? All the ones I've researched is $625 and unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money. Isn't there a place for me to go get trained without paying a fee? A...
