  1. CMK Healthcare LPN Program

    KB24 posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    My friend is looking at attending an LPN school soon and she found out about CMK's LPN program. The cost of tuition is around $15,000 and the program is for 10 months. CMK also has an agreement with...

    KB24 posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    Can someone please tell me all the private LPN schools in the Chicagoland area? I don't want to wait a few years on a waiting list. PCCTI American Institute J'Renee Facility Northwestern Institute...

  5. I need to vent.

    KB24 replied to y&rfan84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Management at our facility requires two CNA when you're using a sit-to-stand, or hoyer lift. You'll be terminated if they see you using a machine without help because that's the company policy and a...

    Samland in Chicago? ******** was my CNA instructor at another school and I believe she still works at Samland in Chicago. She's a great person and a very good

  8. new grad cna/pct, how long did it take you to find your first job.

    KB24 replied to sourapril's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I got hired a couple of weeks after I passed my state exam. I applied at my current job because my friend got a job there and told me to apply. I had one interview with the DON and she hired me on the...

  9. The NOC shift doesn't wake up ANYONE in the morning...is this normal?

    KB24 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The 3rd shift CNA's have to get up 5 residents each before the first shift CNA's arrive at 6:50 am to get assignment. You better have all 5 residents up because the morning nurses and aids will get...

    You can make over $16/hr at a hospital working as a

  11. LPN to RN, thinking of dropping out :(

    KB24 replied to Shimmer580's topic in General Nursing

    My advice would be to only take one class per quarter/semester if you're struggling because you need to spend extra time studying. College A&P is not the same as A&P for high school or A&P...

  12. Cheaper way to text my relatives in the Philippines

    KB24 replied to PinayWife's topic in Philippines

    My advice would be to get a Blackberry and use BlackBerry Messenger. BBM uses data instead of text when you send a message and you can send a message to anyone in the

  13. What to wear to orientation?

    KB24 replied to camci's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Casual clothes is fine because I don't think they're going to make you work or shadow someone on your first day. Your first day of orientation is usually spent filling paper work, getting to know...

  14. CNA teacher is unprofessional or am I tripping?

    KB24 replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't worry what the CNA teacher has to say or think because you won't be seeing him after you pass the class and your skills test. I hate to break it to you, but your peers and co-workers at work are...

  15. im curious-graveshifts for CNA's

    KB24 replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The night shift is the easiest shift and the most boring shift. You usually only have a couple other CNA's with you on the floor and you have more residents than 1st and 2nd shift. We have to get up 5...

  16. Does this mean I got the job?

    KB24 replied to volcomcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, I think you have the job. It would make no sense for a nursing facility to only hire one CNA at a time because of the high turnover rate as a CNA. Every hospital or nursing facility in my area...

  17. Appropriate to call?

    KB24 replied to BeezRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People should call to follow up on their application because it shows them you want the job and you don't have anything to lose by calling

  18. What was your 1st day of (non-orientation) CNA work like?

    KB24 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Another thing I had trouble with is learning the residents names because they moved us around to different units. Really hard to remember people's names when you only see them once every 3-4

  19. Supply shortages

    KB24 replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    We had this problem in clinicals for my CNA class and we had to hide supplies from other people because they would use it if they found it. When I got hired as a CNA in the same company where I did...

  20. What was your 1st day of (non-orientation) CNA work like?

    KB24 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sink or swim. The CNA's at our facility are left on their own after they're done with orientation and the CNA's that have been there a while don't have time to help out the new CNA's. I felt lost and...

  21. What is it like on 1st day as CNA?

    KB24 replied to Sam07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congrats on being certified. I was trained for 3 days and I had 11-12 residents on my own on the 4th day. You can always ask for a few more days if you feel you need more training. One of the big...

  22. Started a new CNA job; could REALLY use some encouragement

    KB24 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know exactly how you feel because I graduated this spring and started my CNA job this month. I only had 3 days of training and working a different unit every shift. Ask your fellow co-workers if you...

  23. Looking for my first CNA job

    KB24 replied to KB24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I showed up for work on Friday afternoon and the morning supervisor talked to me because the night supervisor told her I didn't do my job. I told the morning supervisor it was my first day on the...

    KB24 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm going to start looking for my first CNA job next week. I really want to work in a hospital, but the chances are slim to none because you need at least one year of experience, or you have to know...

  25. Looking for my first CNA job

    KB24 replied to KB24's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was also mad because she didn't help me when I needed help instead she talked with the other RN's for most of the shift. I only saw her when she passed out
