Where do you live that you have an OT law? I've never heard of such a thing? We get time and a half for all OT, but did you mean it's restricted in someway?

We were required to have Health Care Provider CPR certification before we could attend clinicals. They really took it serious! Heather M

Has anyone taken a CNA II class? What does it entail? How was it? Does it help you any if going into the RN program? (I'm in NC) Heather M

I'm in NC. I took the CNA I class at my community college over this past summer. It was a 12 week class, Fridays and Saturdays. We did 6 weeks of class/lab, and 6 weeks of clinicals (3 weeks each at a hospital and a LTC facility.) It totaled like 160 hours. Just those 3 days sounds weird. Heather M

I wanted to put in a good word for testing to be a CNA at Bess-Jackson Nurse Aid Training School in Durham. Ms. Bess-Jackson is great and she's a good evaluator! Heather M

Thanks! I know they just are so insane with the million-step skills, and it's like after doing it in clinicals, it just doesn't seem very much real world. I appreciate the imput! ~ Heather M

I am in NC and just am about done with my summer weekend CNA class. It is 160 hours. We met on Friday 8-5 and Saturday 8-12 when we did classroom, and then for clincals, it was 8-5 both days. It's a 12 week class. I love it because I can still work 4 days a week! ~ Heather M :heartbeat

Hey guys! I just have 3 more weekends left in my CNA classes ( just clinicals now!) and the closer it gets to the end, the more terrified I am about the state exam! I'm in NC and our teacher has made it out like monsters are doing the evals and that it's just hellacious to make it through. Is it really this bad? I'm in Raleigh - anyone out there take the exam in NC? HELP! ~ Heather M - hope to be an RN one day! :heartbeat
