Where I work they are very flexible with the cna's schedules that are going to school. People who are going to school full time usually only work per diem & during the week. Others only work 24hrs or 32 hrs & of course have class on their day...

I passed my MA CNA exam today!! :heartbeat My skills were denture care and positioning pt/resident on the right side. I guess I kind of lucked out. I got really nervous & fumbled a little but I corrected myself and kept it together!! Now ...

I've been wondering the same thing. I am currently getting ready to pass my cna state exam, taking the pre-reqs at BCC & looking to transfer to UMASSD for the same program.

I just finished the clinical portion for my class; so the yuckiest things I had to do was to clean & change my first brief where the bm was large & mushy. My resident started crying so it over shadowed the yuckiness of it. Also the lingeri...

Congratulations, best of luck!!

I started an AP class but didn't finish it (long story) I took one practical and I found it easy to remember everything by the diagrams, labeling & coloring in what I needed to know. Make an honest effort to find time to study every day as it com...

I am four weeks in to my CNA class and I am really enjoying it!:redbeathe We are up to the point where we are beginning to learn the "major skills". The truth is I am getting really nervous. My worst fear is to go for the MA state test & fail. I ...

yes, she may have been a bad example. lol I will make it an extra effort to practice the skills daily. My bf & my mother have all ready volunteered to be my pt/residents. One of my classmates & I have all ready agreed to stick together & ...

I have just started taking my cna class, so I can't answer any of your questions. But I wanted to comment because, your story really saddened me as well. All of these issues are things my teacher has gone over, of what not to do!! To you and me it se...

I have just started my cna class, but in our syllabus & textbook it says we are allowed to give enemas & will be trained to. I'm assuming under the supervision of a nurse, but I live in Mass so that might make a difference. Plus adding cna ...

I've never heard of the flu shot being mandatory, but I do have to say I would agree with it. Of course if they make the decision and in force it early on and give you a list of place you can go to get it, if not your primary dr. Besides would you re...

Congratulations!! Good luck, let us know how it goes.

i could not help, but bust out laughing at this one, 2 funny.
