    knottygirl replied to AzMom81's topic in Online Distance Learning

  4. East Coast Medical Training

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

    knottygirl replied to rgirl808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

    Before I went through a private class, I started a CNA class/training at a local nursing home where you can work at the nursing home as a nurse aide while you take the course. You know, one of those...

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

    I went to a private class to take my CNA. And when I say private I mean that basically and RN started a CNA school. I think my tuition was 295 out of pocket which was pretty cheap at the time. I...

  16. LTC LPN's...how many patients do you have??

    knottygirl replied to knottygirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Get outta here! 80 residents? 52? Now it seems to me that this would go against the idea of patient care. How can you really care if you have so many patients (and I mean that in a non literal...
