Thank you for the advice. I think, though, that I will have to be completely honest about the pregnancy. It's fairly obvious from looking at me, and I need to be clear about my limitations. Perhaps...
That's really strange! In the state of Oregon all that was required was proof of measles immunity and a negative PPD in order to participate in clinicals. In fact, I've never had the chicken pox,...
Hi! I just graduated from my nurse's assistant program and have landed my first interview tomorrow afternoon at the LTC where I had part of my clinical rotation. I'm very excited but am also...
May I ask how you were qualified to take the certifying exam with only a six hour class? It was my understanding that OBRA requirements included at least 75 hours of instruction including at least 16...

I am currently in a CNA program and have strongly considered getting an EMT certification so that I can work as an ER Tech. Hourly speaking (in my neck of the woods), CNAs in the hospital make...
LOL, oh no! They're slow shipping things out? I made the order just a few days ago (on Wednesday) and was hoping to receive my shipment by this coming Friday. I guess we'll see! The prices are...
Has anyone used, or have opinions on, equipment from http://www.alheart.com? I am a new CNA student and ordered their own brand (Allheart) of stethoscope and sphygmomanometer to practice with. Are...
