LPN`s are nurses they go to school from 12 months to 18 months. LPN`s have a license and require malpractice insurance and can pass meds. Medical Assistants typical go to school for 6 months to two years. MA's mainly work in doctors office, and some ...

#17. Does the complete opposite and becomes an EMT-B instead of a CNA. Realize there are less EMT-B jobs than CNA`s. Then argues with the people at the community college because the government pays for EMT training but not CNA.

In my experience it is hard for a new CNA to get a job in a hospital. I worked as a Patient Care Tech for 6 months in a level 2 Trauma Center. I worked on a Orthopedic Unit, & I was not a cna. The things that got me hired was a work history of 11...

Okay, this is not so much CNA or even nursing related. Today, I scored a job as a Psychiatric Attendant at a Children`s Hospital . The second thing was I past my State Exam for EMT-B . Now I have to watch the mail for 6 weeks to get it . I was thinki...

Its pretty much the same thing as an orderly. Except, you interact alot more with the children. You act as a role model, authority figure, friend, & a caregiver. You of course provide direct patient care. One minute you could be correcting their ...

NVM my post

Take what ever job that you can. Have you tried a Temp Agency? You would be suprised how many Temp Agency have opening for a CNA. I`m not talking about home health care agency. I mean a real temp agency. I googled Temp Agency Rochester, NY & got ...

The School I`m attending offers a Clinical Support degree program, & just finished 2010 fall semester. One day I`d like to be a Medic, & just finished my EMT-B class with an A. I loved my Clinical rotations in the ER when it was busy, & I...

Thanks everone for the Feedback. I`m getting the same replies on a EMT/Medic forum I frequent

Yes there is a Paramedic program to. I was thinking of taking this before going into the Paramedic. Didn`t feel I learned enough stuff in the 4 month Emt-B class.

Presently, I just finished my Emt-B class with an A. Felt like it was a Medical Crash course of 16 weeks. We basically learned our ABC`s, & 13 Skill Sheets for Practicals. Don`t get me wrong the course book has 1100+ pages. However, it left me fe...

Any advice? Is this a question I should have asked in another forum?

In 2009 it was $9.05/hr as a Brand New Tech in Southern Indiana.

1) Request a transfer to another Unit 2) Find another Job 3) Put up with it till you can get the transfer 4) Bring your concerns up to your boss 5) Rock the boat, & hope for the best

Before work like everone else said good shoes, water, & I prefer double thick foam inserts. After work: Epsom Salt Warm Bath Icy Hot & your choice of Pain Killer

Techs that work in the ER can start IV`s if it is hospital policy. Two local hospitals were I live. Do let ER Techs start IV`s in the ER. Its a actual job requirement. However, PCT`s that work on the hospital floor do not do it. When doing clinicals ...

Don`t even need CNA to work in hospitals in Indiana. Requirements are up to the descreation of the hospitals.

I just started the process of going after an Associate in Paramedic Science, probable got 2 1/2 to 3 yrs to go. I was thinking after this a ASN would be a good degree to accompany it. Especially with 10 yrs being the expected career of EMS personnel ...

I have to refigure my plan. College advisor got back to me. Even though the school offers the class, its not approved for pell grant or student loans. I`ll have to wait till they cash out tution refunds to take it. Which puts it off till atleast Febu...

I meant to say was looking into getting a ASN after getting a Associates of Paramedic Science. Not at the same time.

Hi, I`m an Emt-b student, & had a question. Can Nurses RN or LPN insert non-visualized airways? I know Docs, Resporatory Therapist, & Emts can do this. Thanks for any answers.
