There is bedmaking videos on You Tube...Remeber, the corners need to be folded up under the bed then you have some of the sheet hanging your gonna bring that up so it looks like a triangle shape and tuck that under the bed so it is tight. The you tub...

I am not sure about the state of NY but I know here in Texas you have 3 chances. You would of course pay to retake it. Most people do not have trouble with the written part, it is the skills that some have a hard time with. If you study and go over t...

I would not take $8.25 for CNA work. That would be considered caregiver/resident aide that someone has no experience or has not gone to a CNA program or doing non-medical work. It usually depends on the agency or facility but I know here caregivers/r...

If you are certified you should get more pay than someone that has not been to a CNA program and got certified. Those that are not certified are mainly considered caregiver or resident aide and get paid less depending on the facility. It really all d...

Thank you. That does make sense. I will have to look and see what TX requires. It would be South Texas.

I am currently living in Florida have been for a long time now but going to be moving to Texas in the summer. I was wondering will I be able to just transfer everything or will I have to take all there tests or courses out there in TX? How does it al...

I believe Florida Medical Prep also helps you find a job afterwards. Is the program your taking in Leesburg? I know a friend that took the course there and after she took her exam and passed it works in Leesburg at Avante she gets good hours she work...

I was wondering once you get hired as a CNA does someone usually train you for a few days to show you the ropes your not just put on a shift and not really knowing what to do are you? The course I will be taking is only a week long but they do help y...

Wow! That seems expensive for a CNA course. I don't know what area you live in but I know here in Florida you can get into a course for $300.00-400.00 and some of the courses are for one week. I am sure every state and area are different. I think bef...

Hi everyone! I am new to this board. I just posted earlier but I didn't notice there was a section just for CNA's so here I am with some queshtions. I am interested in the CNA course and becoming a CNA. I was wondering after you take the course and p...

I found a nursing home that is about 45 mintues away from my house that would hire me without being certified I told her that I am signed up for a weekend CNA prep course she said that was fine. She wants me to come in for a interview. I am soooo ner...

I thought it over and talked with my husband earlier and I have decided not to go in for the interview for one my husband thinks it would be more than a 45 minute drive more like a hour. I am sure the pay isn't that great not being certified and when...

Oh My! It really made you that sick were you felt like you were going to throw up and can't even eat? I would say if you are really interested in the medical field but don't like working directly with the patients then what about office work like uni...

I found one near Conroy near Windemere it is a CNA Prep Course and then she now offers CPR and additional courses I believe for a extra $40. Would this be close enough for you? I can give you the info. She seems very nice and she offers day, night &a...

There are a couple of places that I have found in the Orlando area and then one in Leesburg. Now most do not offer BLS or CPR class but some do for additional $40.00. Now I know some areas you can go to take a CPR class at the local tech schools. I k...

Ok, I am just not understanding all of this. I had a phone appointment with a school because it was a hour drive for me to meet in person and all I wanted was some information on there school. So, they actually scheduled a appointment for them to cal...

Are you currently working as a CNA in the Orlando area? Why do you want to get out of Orlando? I am near the Orlando area and about to get into a prep course. Is the pay bad in the Orlando area?

I know here in my area in Florida I called more than a dozen nursing homes and a few hospitals and they all just keep saying NO you have to be certified. I wanted to see if I could get hired and see what it is like before I took the course and spent ...

Thank you to all you that responded. That is what the guy that called me from Americare told me he said basically your going to be learning more at the school as a Patient Care Tech than you would be just taking a week prep course to become a CNA. No...

CONGRATS ON PASSING!!

But isn't a CNA and a Patient Care Tech the same exact thing? I just wonder why is the Patient Care Tech course so long like 5 months long and alot more money when at the end it is to pass the exam to become certified and doing the same exact thing r...

CONGRATS ON PASSING!!!!:yeah:GREAT JOB!!!

Are you in a prep course or something different? You practice on each other doing oral care? Hmmm...I don't think I would like that. I am going to be going to a prep course and it is either 1 week or 2 weekends is this alot different from what your d...

This might be a stupid questhion but I really have no idea what pool hours are. There is a nursing home I called and they said they are hiring someone for pool hours. Is this different shifts some mornings some evenings? I told her I was looking for ...

Thanks! It was confusing because she said they have both shifts they are 12 hour shifts she said either 7am-7pm or 7pm -7am and I told her I could work nights on weekdays and days or nights during the weekend and she said ok it is pool hours and I wi...
