  2. Do you ever think of going the EMT/Paramedic route?

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

    Yeah I could never see myself doing the emt or paramedic route just because of the amount of schooling/ small pay. Just doesn't cut it. I think the only thing I have thought of doing other than...

  3. moving to las vegas from seattle!!!

    Codeda replied to ngindagirl's topic in Nevada Nursing

    A week is hardly enough time to get freaked out. Just give it a little bit of time and if you haven't heard anything call them. That's how most people I know got their jobs. " bothering" them a little...

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

  6. Can't get a job as new RN

    Codeda replied to black_butterfly's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah there has been talk of it being hard to find a new grad job here for a while. I would expand my search a bit to surrounding cities. Ocala. Daytona. West palm. Wherever you know. Find some good...

  7. Just a few general queshtions once you get hired as a CNA

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

    Codeda replied to Ling07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow does this ever sound like me. I was only at my job for 1 year but the last 3 months were awful. I was depressed, miserable, and would call in with these nonsense excuses. Good job. Good money....

  13. agency work / the good bad and ugly of it

    Codeda replied to angelwings64's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's funny because I have heard from 3 CNAs this past week alone that they love doing agency work and would never work for one facility. Maybe it depends on each agency and each city? I don't have any...

    Codeda replied to DVDWIFE1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am making 9 an hour at an ALF with no shift diff. I'm in Orlando and I dunno but it seems kind of low. I'm thinking I may keep looking. Oh plus I'm full time and they keep giving me part time hours....

  21. I'm SUPER confused

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

    They ARE the same. You can work at the hospital as a CNA without all that additional training up front because a hospital will train you. The only thing with that class is that it is good for...
