  4. Stressing the skills on the CNA exam, any advice?

    stargurl2006 replied to havehope's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not sure how it is in your state, but here it's pretty hard to fail. Unless you do something big (ie forget to wash your hands, forget to provide privacy, etc) you should be fine. I spilled...

    stargurl2006 replied to Kebby1016's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I think for the lpn program you can only get 1 or the other. For RN you can get both :-) I'm pretty sure your constitution class had to be posted by the first to get the point for it though, but 29 is...

    stargurl2006 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  22. Caregiver??

    stargurl2006 replied to stargurl2006's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks! I'm hoping to stay with the company but, I know that hospitals like to hire CNAs that have LTC experience, as opposed to just home health. I live in Nevada and I don't think they have a HHA...
