    I was just browsing jobs on Craigslist and found it and looked it up and it was legit (listed on the DOH list of programs) so I called and applied and was

  2. CNA salary

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Dulce29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm surprised at some of these wages! I'll be starting as a PCA in a couple of weeks at $10/hour with NO experience, just certification, and I'll be doing way less than a CNA (1 client at a time, no...

  3. lenght and cost of a CNA training

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Twinkle007's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Look at area nursing homes and make sure they don't have training. One of the nursing homes where I live consistently does PAID training that lasts ~4 weeks and another has PAID training that lasts ~6...

  4. How much do sitters make? And how to qualify?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to Phoenixbyrd's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  5. How much do sitters make? And how to qualify?

  6. Everyone wears scrubs!

    SingDanceRunLife replied to calidonrnstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's true, everyone wears scrubs. I worked in a dental office briefly cleaning rooms and sanitizing tools etc. and they had me wearing scrubs for sanitary purposes. They didn't want me to have to get...

  8. Nursing or Occupational Therapy?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. Nursing or Occupational Therapy?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    Haha. It is more money, with no heavy lifting and good job security, but it's not something I'm even remotely interested in, and that matters. I've made my decision. Starting in August I'll be going...

  10. Nursing or Occupational Therapy?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely don't want to work in a hospital. No matter what I end up doing I don't want to work in a hospital. That's something I've always known. I can't really explain it, but it was definitely...

  11. Should I change my major?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently struggling with answering the question "Do I want to be a nurse?" I was super sure I wanted to be a nurse for awhile, and then A&P came along. I struggled with it a lot and barely...

  12. Should I change my major?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    As I said in my OP, I've been through a semester of nursing school and did my clinicals and such and I didn't love it, and there's a huge part of me that says that I shouldn't continue because of...

  13. Nursing or Occupational Therapy?

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    In NY (according to nycareerzone) OT pays less than nursing, but only by about $4000-5000/year. Money isn't a huge factor in my book

  17. How to answer the question "Do I want to be a nurse?"

    SingDanceRunLife replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    The biggest part of what draws me to each of the fields is that it is going into and assessing the needs of a population then doing something about it. I'm all about helping people and always have...

  19. Spring Step Shoes?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am in need of good shoes for next semester. I made it through this semester fine with my crappy $12 sneakers from Walmart, but it definitely took a toll on my feet, and more importantly, my bad...

  20. Are there any camps that hire student nurses?

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Camp

    I'm a first year ASN student, and I was wondering if there are any camps out there that hire student nurses. I live in NY, so camps in the NE region of the states would be ideal, but I could travel if...

    SingDanceRunLife posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where in Upstate/Central NY can I get CNA training? I wanted to do the paid training offered at a LTC facility where I live, but they probably won't have another class that fits with my schedule (I...
