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

    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

    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

    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...
  4. Well the GRx CD27 is back in the ebay store of GRx Medical! Back to the cheap price. LOL... well since it is so cheap and I love mine so much I bought another. thats 75 bucks for two scopes......
  5. 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)!!!!

    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....

    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

    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)!!!!

    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. 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. 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. 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

    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

    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...
