what city and/or facility do you work in...if you don't mind my asking?

Sometimes when they offer you PRN it ends up being more like a full time position. But like you said if you're looking for stability then that may not work for you. Did you look up that position on the CHJ website?

Hey dee78 can u elaborate a little about having to push back your RN entrance due to not finding a CNA program. Like, is it a requirement that you have your NA certification before you can enter that RN program?

oh. also I do know that TN is more strict than GA so maybe you can there.

If you're already a CNA TN does not accept certification from GA I know for sure. But GA accepts TN certification. My instructor in the class that I finished for my CNA went over that with us.

Thank you!! I love your quote!

dee78...NHC does hire from outside but they don't usually have to. Also like I was saying before when people get hired there they stay for years so NHC doesn't have many openings. EXAMPLE--my class in Oct., 2 out of 14 got offered a position. Try S...

Hey acubed...I can read the pm but can't reply. Exactly how did you get to do the pm's? Was it just replying to 15 msgs?

BTW--can you do PM's yet? 15 seems sooo far away!

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. But if this is what you want to do KEEP AT IT!!! I say this because it took 3 times before I got into the class. 1st time was because I was told about it 2 days after that Monday. 2nd time because the lady at the front desk...

Hey acubed did you go apply for CNA training @ NHC yesterday?

Hello jt2007! Actually it was passed in July that CNA will be allowed to pass meds. You will be required to take an additional 75 hours of class. CNAs will not be allowed to pass narcotics and insulin I think is the other. I got this info from my...

Yeah everything is pretty much the same as what j450n stated. The only difference is that in the pamphlet for the state of TN there are 27 skills. You will be tested on handwashing and an additional 4 skills. So I guess maybe you can ask your inst...

Yeah thanks clearing that up about the pm! Unifrom is royal blue. No requirment on the shoe color (lol) I could see why u would think that, but no. They do not provide CPR & 1ST AID you have to get that else where (AHA, Red Cross). They do the T...

If you're taking the test in the state of TN I can help answer your question.

to apply: go to nhc behind memorial hospital between 9am-11am on the last monday of the month. this is the only time that they accept apps for the class! acceptance is not 1st come 1st serve. acceptance is based on your personality, reason for wanti...

I went to NHC and applied and was accepted to be in the class. The only thing that you pay for is your book and your uniform. I absolutly loved it!!! They do not require you to work there. In my initial post I said that I wanted to get certified so...

NHC is one of the nursing homes that offers free CNA training. I went by to ck on this. The secretary at the front desk said that they offer this training monthly and generally except around 14 applicants. I asked if they require you to work for th...
