  1. Is my inexperience going to make it hard to find a job?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got my CNA license on 10/17/08 and have been applying for jobs ever since. I've applied for 10 jobs so far, but have not been called for one interview. I've gotten quite a few "thanks for your...

  2. How was clinicals for you?

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    dmskoka...I'm in midwest. As far as the tuition program, I think that a lot of hospital systems throughout the country offer something. You can call some hospitals in your area and ask about it. I...

  3. How was clinicals for you?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I start clinicals on Oct. 6th and I'm excited. Right now, in the lab, it seems like a lot of girls in my class are "goofy" during labs because we're working on the mannequins or each other. Today we...

  4. Does anyone know what this means?.......

    nrsin4 replied to adorblepuppy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It seems like a lot of employers in my area also only accept certification from AHA. I got mine from AHA (they came to my school) and luckily we were offered the class for

  5. Is my inexperience going to make it hard to find a job?

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks everyone for the advice! At the first of the year I am going to really step up my efforts and apply for jobs in person. I know that I can make a better face-to-face impression than how I look...

  6. What do you think of this job description?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just applied for this job tonight. It's at the hospital that is connected to the college where I got my CNA. I just recieved my license on 10/17/08, so I'm still trying to get my first CNA job....

  7. What do you think of this job description?

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    truern...this job is a little different than CNA jobs at this particular hospital. Here's the job description for a CNA job that I just now applied for at the same hospital. The list of...

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    VivaLasViejas...thanks for your reply! I'm glad to hear that it was a positive experience for you. I'm hoping that I do get an interview. I am going to school part-time for my RN, so I would love...

  9. cna now required on rn application

    nrsin4 replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Do they require that in your state? In my state, it depends on the school (I think). The college that I got my CNA from does not require you to be a CNA or LPN before starting nursing school....

  10. What do you think of this job description?

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was thinking that it sounds really busy. I applied because I figured it would be better to apply than not...especially since I'm still trying to land my first CNA job. This is the same hospital...

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here's the rest of the job ad...I don't know why the whole thing wasn't included in my first post. Job Duties: Promote positive impression and welcoming environment of the unit through customer...

  12. What was/is the length of your CNA program?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's interesting to read about the different structures of CNA programs. I guess I didn't realize how much diversity there is with schools/facilities and state requirements. I know that there are...

  13. Should I GO FOR IT!?!

    nrsin4 replied to Hopeful76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think you made a good decision! :) And, you're right. You will have a lot of opportunities closer to home after you are

  14. Should I GO FOR IT!?!

    nrsin4 replied to Hopeful76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with sonomala. I personally wouldn't even consider it. With the gas prices, I would never work 45 minutes from home. Most of the pay would get eaten up in gas. I also wouldn't feel...

  15. abbreviations.......

    nrsin4 replied to CNAMichelle's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my CNA class we learned 130 abbreviations and we had 40 on our class final. Then we got to clinicals at the hospital and there were signs posted at every single nurses' "mini-station" that said,...

  16. Clinicals

    nrsin4 replied to MichaelCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am an acute care CNA, so my clinicals were at a hospital...the oncology/surg/bariatrics floor to be exact (the floor I chose). Two to four of us were assigned to a floor at the hospital. Each of...

  17. CNA Certificate Number

    nrsin4 replied to SuperSteff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In my state the license numbers are posted on the Department of Health and Human Services website. My license number just posted this weekend (I passed my state exams on 10/10). I don't know if I'm...

  19. Did you get CPR/BLS ceritified with your CNA program?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My program offers the CPR/BLS (for medical personnel) class to the CNA students for free. The American Heart Assoc. came to the college and we had the class today. I'm now

  20. ROM Question

    nrsin4 replied to MichaelCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're right...the elbow is supposed to be supported. In our class, the instructor has us pick out all of the errors in the textbook pictures and in the videos we watch. It's amazing to me how many...

  21. Anyone a CNA (while working on pre-req's)?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting the CNA course on Monday so that I can work as a CNA while getting my pre-req's done. I was just wondering if anyone else here has done that. How do you like working as a CNA? I'm...

  22. How much BP practice did you get in the program?

    nrsin4 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Today was my 5th day of the CNA program. We are starting to work in the lab a lot more now. Last Thursday (we don't have class on Fridays) we did the book work and discussed how to take bp's. This...

  24. Did you get CPR/BLS ceritified with your CNA program?

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Our paperwork said that if we didn't return the book (which we got two days ago) that we would be charged $15. I guess that if I asked to buy the book they would have let me. :) We didn't get a...

  25. How was clinicals for you?

    nrsin4 replied to nrsin4's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hopeful76...I think that each CNA course differs based on the school, state and instructor. In the program I'm in we do a lot of practicing on each other. My program is Monday through Thursday 9:30...
