  3. Triage

    Agreed. As a nursing assistant i took names, birthdays, and vitals. As a unit clerk i just put in orders, none that weren't written or yelled. Something is wrong there. You're confused as to what...

    Don't get too excited, they told me when it shows up online or we get our bills it will dictate a day and time for clinicals but it's not correct. They apparently have to stick in a time when they...

  19. Required CNA age for New Jersey?

    You may want to find a local school that offers the program and ask them. If it's a college i assume it doesn't matter, you just have to have a diploma or ged. If it's another program i also assume...

    St. Louis and East st. Louis IL (lived in the area for a few years) are pretty promising, great hospitals too.... defiantly not
  24. Looking for a CNA program online

    I did my CNA program at 17 (2005), also got a job as a nursing assistant at 17 right before i passed my test (most hospital jobs don't require an actual cna licence). But i agree with the rest, if...
