  1. Florida CNA's: Training class vs. prep class?

    Miwila replied to SaraFL's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I honestly don't know what employers prefer but I have had at least one HR rep say she doesn't really like CNA prep classes. She was just giving her personal opinion and really didn't clarify whether...

  2. i'd like some opinions please

    Miwila replied to Nenja's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree. I think its outrageous that anyone of us should have to feel guilty about asking for help in turning a

  3. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    The more feedback I get from this forum the more my fears about Everest are reaffirmed. Actually I've been doing more research and I think I might have found another school in my area that offers the...

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

    I'm getting cold feet

  5. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    That is my big fear. I've heard some employers won't hire Everest grads. And I've searched all over the place; I can't find any personal testimonials from anyone who's been through the Everest PCT...

  6. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    It's possible that some LTC's down here offer the same thing, but in South Florida affordable CNA training is relatively easy to find. The problem is I'm planning on moving back to Brooklyn and unlike...

    I actually live in Florida now, in South Florida. I'm planning on moving out of

  9. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    If you're asking if I think I would be a good CNA/PCT, then absolutely yes. I'm a very empathatic person. When my mother was in a rehab center I would watch the abrupt way some of these CNA's talked...

  10. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    I have other goals. I would like to go back to college and finish up the degree in English I started back in my 20's. I might even try taking nursing pre-req's after all. In spite of what I posted...

  11. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    Yes, I have looked at CC. In my area we have 2 community colleges and about 6 publicly funded tech schools all of which are more reputable and offer cheaper vocational healthcare courses. And I always...

  12. Should I risk getting PCT training at Everest?

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

    I have thought about it and after careful consideration decided I am not smart enough to be a nurse. Most nursing schools require you to have at least 3.5 GPA in all the subjects I'm awful at, like...

  13. A question about being a black male CNA

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

    Thank you. I really appreciate your insight and

    Miwila replied to Homebound20's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Was it just a matter of space or do they select students based on other criteria? I never heard of schools screening students before accepting them into a CNA

  15. Having a hard time finding a CNA job

    Miwila replied to karenflrz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live in Miami as well. My best advice, if you can stand the commute, is to look for work in Broward County, as far north as Fort Lauderdale or Boca if you can. Miami is a sucky place to find a job...

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

    If he was falsely accused then that is sad and

  17. A question about being a black male CNA

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

    I'm sorry but you apparently read the post wrong. I would never say all women have a problem with black men taking care of them. That would be an absurd statement to make and it is equally absurd to...

  18. A question about being a black male CNA

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

    I never said race was a "limitation". I did suggest an instance where someone might have a certain reaction based on your race. To say that never happens is misinformed. But thanks for your

  19. I can't pay my bills

    Miwila replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Have you thought about doing agency work? That way you could call in and let them know what hours you are available by the week. I don't know if that is exactly how agency work goes but I'm 75% sure...

  20. Shift Question, are twelve hour shifts usually offered?

    Miwila replied to angybaby's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've looked everywhere. But that's just my experience. Hopefully, maybe I'm wrong. As for as Ohio winters...I can get used to them. I don't intend on living in South Florida forever. Not enough...

  21. Shift Question, are twelve hour shifts usually offered?

    Miwila replied to angybaby's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know if I'd like homecare...it sounds boring and there are no benefits. Maybe there are LTC positions in South Florida that offer 12 hours for CNA's but I have yet to see any. As I said, I've...

  22. Wish I had known..

    Miwila replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hate to burst the bubble but if I had a dime for every MA graduate who thought being an MA was their path to money and job security and came out of school not able to find a job. On the other hand,...

  23. Questions about the LPN program at MDCC

    Miwila replied to Miwila's topic in Florida Nursing

    I haven't even applied; I'm trying to get into the program at Sheridan Tech instead. Good luck at MDCC. I always envy anyone smart enough to even get into an RN

  24. Questions about the LPN program at MDCC

    Miwila posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Does anyone know how long it takes to get into this program, and what pre-req's are required, as well as anything else they look at during the application process?

  25. Shift Question, are twelve hour shifts usually offered?

    Miwila replied to angybaby's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm in South Florida. They have 12 hour shifts here too but as far as I can tell that is only in hospitals if you're an Aide. The problem is CNA's are a dime a dozen here so its nearly impossible to...
