she said they have cna accountability charts.. i'm assuming that is what she uses for charting. just use the universal standard precautions and act as if EVERYONE has hep/aids/mrsa and you'll be fine.:redbeathe

3rd shift is hard. we have way more pt and at my work, we do all the linens & clean everything. plus no one sleeps the whole night through.

Here in Tampa it is not impossible to find work as a newly licensed CNA. I applied for 5 days with no luck (lots of on the spot interviews with only 'must be able to work ALL shifts PRN' which I was not okay with.. I then started asking for 11p-7a wh...

$3,500 is the cost of the program I'm starting next year (Hopefully I get in!!!) which includes books, uniforms, & medical stuff like gloves.

yeah and medical assisting is NOT regulated. Florida sure is different..

Plus the pay of a MA and CNA is about equal and OMG the cost of the programs are drastically different. MA programs in Tampa are about 12,000 just to make $10-15 an hour. CNA programs are $250-500 to make $10 @ hospitals, $10-12 home health, & $1...

Medical assistants are under the supervision of doctors, usually in their offices. I have yet to see any jobs listed in hospitals in Tampa. CNAs are under the direction of nurses. CNAs/MA can do different things by state. If you want to become a LPN ...

here in florida it is rally hard to find a course with more then 40 hours of training. it is b/c every state has different requirements. some states such as florida do not require an exam-- you can challenge it if you can pass the skills.

time to move! i make then that at Apple Computers

I am moving to LA in Sept I wanted to get the low down on some of the accredited trade schools in the LA area. I did my home work and found a few but they all want me to fly out to tour campus. NO WAY could afford that right now, yikes! I am interest...

don't buy scrubs until you know what colors you can wear! I made that mistake..

well here in Fl there aren't any regulations/licensing of MAs so I would stick to something with an actual license if it is not licensed in your state. CNA make about $12.(depending on location!!)

ya and you might get stuck on it.

however, being able to pay the bills is key in life! if you can pay bills (even if stretched tight!) without working then sure stay home. However when I grew up with my single mom of to, having a house, good food & $ for a surgery of mine was ama...

nude color undies. white undies will show through and it looks ... not so good.

I have searched and only found programs through a college. Are there any LPN schools in the area that are at a tech school such as a full time one year school? I have my CNA in Florida and will be moving to the LA area. I should be able to transfer m...

my mom worked at a private 8 bed LTC facility. She made good $ and the place was literally a mansion. Family Care Home, head quarters in on Gilbert. The lady that owns the homes had 4-5 private homes several years ago. My mom made good money, not th...

my mom went to nursing school when i was 8 and my sister was five. I just called her and we talked about mom going to school-- neither of us even remember much that far back lol! Mom made sure to either have breakfast or dinner with us 4x a week plus...

In plant city, my friend works at the hospital and makes $19 as a LPN with one year exp. It is a bit far from Tampa but $19 is not bad for passing out meds which is what she does!

My mother is a chemo nurse at Bay Pines.. She regularly has 5-6 patients WHILE training new grads. Tampa is suppose to be run a lot better but she dislikes Bay Pines. She has been stuck on the same floor for almost 3 years. She has tried to transfer ...

While there is no "wait list" at ptec it is ridiculously competitive to get into AND they only accept like 2 classes a year. So while there is no "wait list" it is still hard to get into-- NOT easy if you do not already have a medical background

Where can I find out about this scholarship? Thank you!:redbeathe
