  1. How Much Did you Make as a Student Nurse Tech??

    CNA_Timmy replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, in Indiana, we have nurse externs that have the exact same job discription as the CNA/PCAs (the top of my job discription says PCA/Nurse Extern). We do the same thing, however the...

  2. CNA vs. CMA

    CNA_Timmy replied to cmadeit's topic in General Nursing

    Also, as far as challenging the CNA boards... you would be hard pressed to be able to. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 require that all CNAs/STNAs attend at least 75 hours of education...

  3. CNA vs. CMA

    CNA_Timmy replied to cmadeit's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember... most of the CMA schools out there are for profit money making machines. I thought about applying to a LPN program at a local "tech college". One year of classes and it costs abot...

  5. An Interesting Finding Regarding Kila Lab's Single-Head

    CNA_Timmy replied to beyondx4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Got my GRX CD27 today and it is AWSOME!!! No comparison between it and the cheap sprague I had! My mom just visited and made me dinner :-) and tried it out. She is jealous, she is a DON at a...

  6. Question about CMA (Certified Medical Assistants)!!!!

    CNA_Timmy replied to GlaMoUr_GirL's topic in General Nursing

    Again... I am a CNA (or PCA is what I am called in the hospital), and I make 13.50/hr + shift diff. I make far more than my MA friends (usually 9-11/hr) and they all work in doc offices and clinics....

  7. Question about CMA (Certified Medical Assistants)!!!!

    CNA_Timmy replied to GlaMoUr_GirL's topic in General Nursing

    You should also keep in mind that CNA class teaches you things that actually relate to nursing... transfers, hygiene, basic patient care, rather than basic patient procedures. I know the school I am...

  8. CNA Information

    CNA_Timmy replied to concerned1234's topic in Texas Nursing

    Best advise is to just take the test in Arkansas. Once she has her registration there she can probably apply to the Texas registry (most states have similar CNA training guidelines based on a some...

  9. Question about CMA (Certified Medical Assistants)!!!!

    CNA_Timmy replied to GlaMoUr_GirL's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to come up a lot on these boards. I recently filled out a "find a school for you" form and have been bombarded by tons of these for profit colleges. I put down I was interested in nursing...

  10. An Interesting Finding Regarding Kila Lab's Single-Head

    CNA_Timmy replied to beyondx4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ok just got an email back from GRx. It took a while because they were very willing to admit that it was FDA approved, and gave me the number. When I checked the number I verified it with the website...

  11. An Interesting Finding Regarding Kila Lab's Single-Head

    CNA_Timmy replied to beyondx4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    beyondx04 I contacted my school today and they do require a dual head scope. They said I can use any scope I want, however it must be registered with the FDA. I looked up the GRx CD27, and could not...

  12. An Interesting Finding Regarding Kila Lab's Single-Head

    CNA_Timmy replied to beyondx4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well I decided to bit the bullet and be one of the first to try this one... GRXmedical is now offering a Lit Master Cardio clone... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310051103788...

  13. CNA duties vs. Nursing Duties

    CNA_Timmy replied to joolia's topic in General Nursing

    I know I love being a CNA, and hope that when I finish up nursig school I will be able to complete patient care on my own. I am a people person first, and I love being able to bring a slight bit of...

  14. CNA information

    CNA_Timmy replied to futurenurse1710's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a CNA in three different settings over the past three years. I started working in mental health (and still do PRN). I worked in an inpatient psych unit and a group home. On the unit I...
