Hello Everyone! I was wondering if fellow/former CNA's would not mind sharing where they love to work. I will be completing my CNA certification soon and want to work part time (somewhere with part time benefits) until my kiddo's are older. Then I wo...

Hi Laura! I met with the ASU Advisor in January regarding the RN program and I asked her about the RN to BSN program. She said it is defintely not as competitive and there is not a wait list. She couldn't say much more because she is only advises...
I do not know very much but I do know my next door neighbor loves working there. She has worked there for 15 years and plans on retiring with them. They have great benefits including a Wellness Spa for women and all of the profits go to the women's...
Honestly, I have been checking back on this post to see if anyone knew any information about it. I have graduated from college with a B.A. in Communication and would be interested in a NET prep course. Why not go in well prepared and ace the NET? ...
I agree with you...if I had $40k lying around, sure, but I already have that in student loans from my B.A. degree that I am obviously not going to use. Is CAC, Central Arizona College? That is in Coolidge, right? Sounds like a great program...I b...
Wow...sounds like they really put you on the spot. I would have gone today, but I went to the Banner Fellows Program information session. This is really the only day I could have gone. I have CNA school starting soon, then A&P 1&2 this sum...

I would also be interested in learning more about your facility. I begin RSAA on May 5th and will be looking for work soon after. Would you mind PM-ing me the name of the facility, or I can PM you as well. Thank you soo much! Also, if there is a r...
Does anyone know if you were to get your Associates from PMI if it would transfer to ASU? For example, would you be able to apply to the RN to BSN bridge program?
Hello Everyone, I am contemplating going to nursing school and was wondering if the military is able to assist with the training. I recently graduated with my B.A. in Communications and tried to find a job, but no luck. I am happily married and ha...

I have another question if you do not mind...after you did your OTJ training for your PCT cert., were you given a raise? It may sound silly, but I am kind of hesitant about getting hired on as a CNA then going through the PCT training and not getti...

Wow!! $15/hr...may I ask what agencies are those? Is there a website that you like for CNA jobs? I am still learning all the ins and outs so I greatly appreciate any advice! :)
MonkeysMama replied to West Valley's topic in Arizona
I believe it is great what you are doing! I am starting my CNA class at RSAA on May 5th as a stepping stone for the LPN/RN program...whichever I get accepted to first! :) At http://www.payscale.com they said the average wage for a CNA is $10.76/...
MonkeysMama replied to dreher101's topic in Arizona
I completely agree. I am extremely excited to begin my CNA class in a few weeks and cannot wait to get my foot in the door with a hospital. I know I will be a better nurse one day because of this experience. Thank you so much for your feedback!
MonkeysMama replied to dreher101's topic in Arizona
I am curious...where did you get your PCT certification? Did you get trained in a hospital or did you go through a program at a CC (like Phoenix College)? I am debating whether to go ahead and go through the Phoenix College program or get hired on...
MonkeysMama replied to MonkeysMama's topic in Arizona
Wow! This is great news! This is what I am looking for...somewhere where I can work 15-20/hrs a week and have health insurance for my family...also, gaining nursing experience until I get into a nursing program. I am about to take a CNA class and ...
I was wondering if anyone knew where to get their Patient Care Technician certification? I found one at Phoenix College, but I have already missed their recent start date and the next class they are holding I will have a brand new baby! :) I will...

I completely understand. I already have soo much student loan debt as it is and do not want to take out more loans. Maybe I will see you in the September class!! :) Good luck!!
MonkeysMama replied to MonkeysMama's topic in Arizona
I am the type of person who wants to know the "why" behind things. I feel the PCT program would be a great match for me. How was the workload? Was it extremely intense? I appreciate your feedback and thank you for sharing your experience!
