2. Yea, they fired me......

   Shante1985 replied to sonomala's topic in CNA/MA

   I too know what it is like to be happy about being fired from a job. I HATED the job with a passion since my first week there and was soooo happy when I was let go. I told my then supervisor, "Thank you! I know you think you're hurting me by letting ...

3. Any studying tips?? How do you study??

   Shante1985 replied to Shante1985's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks for all of the tips! So far I'm doing pretty good, we've had two quizzes and I've gotten a 100 and 105 respectively. I will definitely use the flashcards, reading the chapter and jotting down my own notes, and reading the chapter before the cl...

   Shante1985 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in CNA/MA

   No, but I figured we'd start another one in May. I won't be finished my course until late June early July but I still post here. If you aren't graduating until a later time, it's ok, you can post here too. :wink2:

5. Any studying tips?? How do you study??

   Shante1985 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Hey guys! I've just started my phlebotomy class on Monday and we were given homework. We have to read chapter 1, do the worksheet (although we don't have to turn it in, our instructor gave us the answers at the end of the course) and study. I haven't...

   Shante1985 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in CNA/MA

   Well, we will get to practice on the mannys too but that will be in the lab. Our first lab will be next Wednesday. As far as opting out, I'm not sure. I didn't even ask our instructor. Needles and getting blood drawn has never phased me much, not eve...

   Shante1985 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in CNA/MA

   Hey guys! I hope everyone is doing well. Last night was the first night of my Multi-Skilled Med. Tech. course. I thought we'd start with the CNA class first but we've started with Phlebotomy. It's a really small class, there were supposed to be 5 of ...

   Shante1985 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks so much. I was bummed about it, I still am kinda. I am relieved that my insurance will cover it but I also know that now my very low rate ($120/mo) will go up. So I'm kinda worried about that but very thankful the damage wasn't worse than what...

10. CNA's graduating in March-April!

    Shante1985 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in CNA/MA

    So, I had to work Sunday evening and we left early because the snow had started and we knew the storm was coming. I had no idea it was going to snow so much, usually it just passes us over or it's very light, nothing too serious. I didn't realize it ...

    Miiszkim I had no idea you were in Maryland too. What part if you don't mind me asking? I'm in Baltimore. Where did you take your course? I had no idea that to work at an LTC you had to be licensed as a GNA, I thought that all you needed was to be ce...

12. CNA's graduating in March-April!

    Shante1985 replied to Serendipity, PCT's topic in CNA/MA

    Thanks. The Multi-Skilled Medical Technician course is offered here in Baltimore at the local CC. It seemed like a better course to take because it doesn't just cover CNA. It includes the following modules: Nursing Assistant, Medical Terminology, Ven...

14. What you'd REALLY like to say....

    Shante1985 replied to ICor9:24's topic in CNA/MA

    I guess you didn't read the rest of my post where I said I wanted to be a PCT in a hospital while I finish my bachelors in Bio. I figured I'd be killing two birds with one stone, I want to work in the health field anyway and I enjoy helping others. I...

    Yes, I took the TABE test to get federal funding. I've already picked out the course that I want to take. Now I'm just waiting to see if my application got approved. Keeping my fingers crossed. When does your course start?
