  1. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    DanainOrlando posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have to decide in the next week or two what classes to sign up for - LPN or Paramedic. Both of those degrees, in Florida at least, mean that I can then take an online Bridge program to RN if I...

  2. Is there more demand for Physician's Assistants than for nurses?

    DanainOrlando posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking a bunch of science and math pre-reqs this year. I'm looking at various nursing program options and trying to decide what to pursue once I get all these requirements out of the way. But the...

  3. Where to start looking for a job as a new grad in Broward?

    DanainOrlando replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know that some of the home health agencies are looking for experience - it's the same way here in Orlando. I did manage to find one, and pretty quickly too, that did not require experience. I think...

  4. Where to start looking for a job as a new grad in Broward?

    DanainOrlando replied to NursingIs4CoolPeople's topic in Florida Nursing

    While you are looking for a job, have you thought of doing home health care for a nurse staffing agency? I'm doing that currently as a CNA in Orlando, and I know that the place I work also takes RNs...

  5. HEY CNA'S THIS IS FOR YOU ONLY...Sorry everybody else

    DanainOrlando replied to Mr. Evans's topic in General Nursing

    Florida - $9 an hour to $12 an hour, working for a home health care temporary agency. $12 an hour is only for one hour bath visits or REALLY difficult

  6. Is Nursing still a good career path?

    DanainOrlando replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    I know that new grad nurses are having a hard time finding desirable jobs right now, but what's a better alternative? What field right now is red hot and doing tons of hiring? I'm not aware of any....

  7. Health Care Resume for new CNA

    DanainOrlando posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am switching careers and just got my CNA license. What does one put on a health care resume if all of their previous experience was in another field? I'm a former journalist - trying to emphasize...

    Thank you! That is very

  9. CNA salary for Long Island - NY area

    DanainOrlando replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    I'd like to know that too - whether you need experience to get hired at most places these days. I just got my CNA license and am working for an agency doing home visits, and I'm considering relocating...

  10. HIPAA for CNAs?

    DanainOrlando posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just got my CNA license and am now working for an agency. Does anyone have any recommendations as to an affordable online HIPAA class? I have NO HIPAA training and I'm totally paranoid about...

  11. HIPAA for CNAs?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    You would think, wouldn't

  12. HIPAA for CNAs?

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    That's generally what I assumed. I'd just love some specific guidelines. The government website is a good starting point. Not that I'd run around blabbing about my patients' private, personal info...

  13. Some interview tips

    DanainOrlando posted a topic in General Nursing

    In today's competitive environment, you need every advantage that you can get. I was at an agency today applying for a CNA job - won't mention agency name - but anyway, the recruiter there mentioned...

  14. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm applying for a job at a CNA agency, and they have a multiple choice test that I have to take. I appreciate any assistance that anyone here can give me. One of the questions is: 1.) If a person...

  15. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I met my first patient and she is absolutely

  16. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is it exactly; it's a test question, not reality. Sort of like in the CNA class when they taught you to pass the CNA test, not how to really work as a CNA. Anyway, I got the job and am...

  17. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you SO much! That is extremely helpful. I still feel that the questions could be phrased a little better, but both of your answers make perfect

  18. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    You know, that's an excellent point - as a CNA there isn't any treatment that I'm allowed to give other than CPR - so what good does it do me to call a doctor's

  19. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I called my mother, who is a CNA (but who hasn't had to take a test like this in decades), and she felt that calling a physician is out - you might get their answering service, they might take a long...

  20. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, the question doesn't give me the option of just gown, gloves and mask though - it also includes goggles, which sounds excessive to me. What about calling 911? Is that too much? I wish...

  21. BP question for CNA job

    DanainOrlando replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    If I were to call a physician, as a CNA all I could tell them is the blood pressure. So your suggestion would be, call the nursing agency and report

  22. New Grad Michigan Job Search

    DanainOrlando replied to Seagate's topic in General Nursing

    The advice I have seen in other threads on this forum is to try nursing homes, hospices, long term care facilities, prisons/jails, anywhere that will hire you to get the experience that you need. The...

  23. Happy things are slowly starting to move toward right direction

    DanainOrlando replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you get the job that you enjoy - honestly, I hope everyone gets the job that they enjoy! - but in this economy, I believe that getting experience is what is most important. If this doctor's...

  24. Where are there Nursing Schools that aren't as Impacted as California?

    DanainOrlando replied to deeray02's topic in General Nursing

    Very, very good point. The community colleges here in Florida require proof of residency and you have to live here for a year. Or you have to pay triple for every credit. Might be the same with the...

  25. Everest Nursing school issues

    DanainOrlando replied to Motoxer28's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hear ya; I am a single mother and I struggle finding programs that fit with my
