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

  2. In CNA class...required to take blood pressure of 100 people!!!

    pinkstethoscope replied to CarolinaGirl1112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would ask your teacher. In my CNA class we had to do 50, but we were allowed to do the same people's multiple times. I would imagine that you will get time in class to do your fellow

  3. Can my boss do that?

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

    If I were in your position, I would definitely feel taken advantage of. How on earth is it a break for your if you are still helping the residents? You should have a set break time where you are...

  11. Is per diem work at an out patient center easier to get than full/part-time work?

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

  14. I have to wait three months to get a CNA job? What should I do?

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

    Honestly, I don't think you really have a choice. You don't have reliable transportation, so it really wouldn't be wise to start a new job. If I were in your situation, I would save up until I could...

  15. Not sure if Im ready?

    pinkstethoscope replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Two things. #1 - I highly recommend buying a little notepad that will fit in your scrub top pocket. I think you can get them for about 50 cents at Walmart or Target. When you have extremely busy...
