I thought about a unit secretary position, but they don't peform direct patient care, which is what most employers are looking for once we obtain our LPN and/or RN license. Every single place I've applied to wanted CNA's with experience. If you are...

But what was your hourly pay when you had no experience?

I'm a PCT on a med-surg floor and I am absolutely miserable. I wish I had known ahead of time they have a high turnover rate, and average 15-18 patients a night, where over half of that number are "total" patients (the ones that are incontinent and ...

What facility do you work at? And is that the base pay rate, with no experience?

***where is the delete option? I tried to delete this and couldn't***

What do you suggest then?

But what city is it in, and how many months/years of experience did you have at that pay rate? And what type of facility is it?

Would this be LPN or RN school? UCH offers $9.22 for completing 2 semesters of LPN school. This doesn't sound decent compared to what I've read on other websites. Does TGH still hire nurse techs? If any nurse techs are reading this, what was your sta...

I've been skimming these threads to see if any other students out there have dealing with the same problems I'm dealing with and even though these posts were from 3 years ago I just had to comment at how amazing it is that so many other people are de...

To all the RN's out there...is it possible to be single and own a good home with an acre or two of land separating you from your neighbors? I'm an LPN student working towards becoming an RN, and live in an apartment complex. It used to be ok but the...

I agree.

I haven't worked as a home health aide yet because I can't afford to live on that type of salary. But it's something I wouldn't mind doing. I don't think it would be weird going in their home. In my opinion it would be better than being in a h...

Was this an RN job? I find it very surprising if you got hired as an RN in Florida without even taking the NCLEX. Also what city was this in? And to answer your question I have made several phone calls to several facilities, and I've also had my res...

I became Florida certified this past March and have found that nearly all home health agencies I've contacted are looking for CNA's whether they are new grads or not. Do a google search on home health care in your area.

"BOOYARN": Tell that to all the graduate nurses who have applied for at least a year and still can't get hired. How are we supposed to get experience if no one will hire us???

London is only one of many cities in the country of England, which is part of the United Kingdom. English is the primary language spoken in the U.K. and there are other countries there besides England. Did you ever consider Scotland or Ireland? Do...

I am trying to prepare myself for a CNA interview tomorrow and found this question while searching for CNA interview questions. I'm a brand new CNA so I'm honestly not sure how I would handle this situation: Mrs. Jones is in the facility for a fractu...

:uhoh21: these are the residents, patients, and clients i am nervous about!! one of the girls in my cna class got fired from a ltcf because a resident lied and said the girl and another cna had given her medication when they actually hadn't. i don't...

Thank you DusktilDawn that's exactly what I was taught in my CNA class. That one interview question threw me off a bit because during my clinicals at a nursing home there were a couple of residents that would constantly complain about pain and the C...

SWS if you fully read my question you would know I found it while searching for interview questions. I sure would not want a nurse taking care of me or anyone in my family who didn't know how to read a complete question or directions.

What state do you work in?

Does anyone know how many hours a Florida CNA has to work before their license expires? I just received mine March of this year and am still trying to get a CNA job!! I already checked the Florida Board of nursing website and the information there ...

I know where to look; I just figured you knew the company name since you said you found one that pays $42 an hour. Yahoo jobs really isn't a good place to look for a good job btw, and a lot of the companies advertised on there sell your personal inf...

Which agency hires LPNs at that rate? I will be going to LPN school starting August and was hoping to get hired by a travel agency as an LPN.
