   tamanta replied to tamanta's topic in CNA/MA

   wow.... that sounds like an awesome schedule! maybe someday I'll be able/experienced enough to get something like that. I have to work in LTC for at least a year, or I have to pay back my CNA tuition [which isn't to say I wouldn't, if something like ...

   tamanta replied to tamanta's topic in CNA/MA

   Thanks for your response, Coffemate- it's good to know what I'm getting myself into. It makes sense that you get the more difficult assignments. The experience thing is what I'm the most worried about. It seems like it's stressful enough to be a new ...

   What's your opinion on working PRN [or per diem as I've heard it called]? I'm completing my CNA training in June. After that I'll be in a LTC for at least a year. I'll be working PRN if I can, but I'd like an idea of what it's like- especially as a n...

   I'm fixin' to :) I'm going through OSU OKC's training on June 7th. They will pay for my training if I commit to working in a medicaid LTC for at least a year. I know that the pay here is just barely above minimum wage, but I'm trying to look at it as...

   Hey, thanks so much! If you don't mind my asking, how was your experience in the osu okc program? Do you still work in LTC or have you gone on to something different?

9. How flexible is your schedule?

   tamanta replied to tamanta's topic in CNA/MA

   Ok, so it definitely sounds as though per diem or PRN is the way to go. I went to my school today to ask them how many of the CNA graduates go on to per diem work, and it seems like a fair amount of people go that route. I'm not too concerned about b...

    Hi guys! I have a quick question, and any info would be a huge help! Well, I'm going back to school with the long term goal of being accepted to the osu/okc nursing program. In the meantime, though, I was considering getting my CNA license so that I ...
