Is this the chart? http://www.health.gov.au/internet/safety/publishing.nsf/Content/prog-patientsrisk-lp/$File/UsingObservationCharts-2009.pdf

here are my two cents, well, maybe five cents. [color=#993300]" ... i don't want to leave too much empty space on my resume ... " a resume with your name, address, phone number, education, work experience, might be best. optional category: other abilities, experiences, interests, knowledge - playing piano, singing, drawing, painting, sign language, volunteer at ______, etc., might help. [color=#993300]" ... the reason that i thought i want to add the tasks that i did in clinical under my "clinical experience" is ... i thought maybe some employer might want to know what i did as hand on experience during clinical... " as all cna students, during clinical, should have "hands-on" experience, in my opinion, listing your clinical experience is a waste of the interviewer's time to read. i would not include a list. however, if you do include a list ... i noticed your list has patient and residents. i would use either one or the other or neither. responds to (patient) call lights (checking patient) taking and recording vital signs infection control measuring (residents) weight and height assists (the residents in) with wheelchairs assists (the residents) with ambulation perform rom (on patient) making occupied bed/ unoccupied bed transfer (the patient) w/ gait belt repositioning (the patient) (measuring patient weight & height - this was listed above) missing on your list ... the interviewer might think you had no training/experience assist with feeding bed bath, tub bath, shower foot care nail care oral hygiene hair care: shampoo, comb/brush shave apply elastic stockings measure intake and output post-mortem care specimen collection empty catheter bag, commode, urinal assist with ostomy appliance assist with commode, toilet, bedpans and urinals change urinary drainage bag assist with bowel/bladder retraining transfer from bed, wheel chair, chair, commode transfer using mechanical lift in summary, keep your resume short, no spelling errors. at the interview have a copy of your social security card, driver's license, cna certificate/license, cpr card, etc. (my interviewer was thankful i had a copy of each so that she did not have to get up and go to the copy machine). after the interview, if you want the job, send a thank you note thanking the interviewer for his/her time and stating that you are interested in a cna position with the facility. best of luck. we will be thinking of you. let us know how any interview goes and when you get a position. resume + interview hints! https://allnurses.com/nursing-career-advice/wondering-why-you-84387.html :sofahider

MurseMan1 I would start by looking for the PA Board of Nursing ... or the PA Department of Health. Searching around the internet I found this state by state lising for Medication Aides www.medaidesillinois.org/pdf/otherstates/statebystate.pdf States have different names for the position (Certified Medication Aides, Certified Medication Technician, Certified Residential Medication Aides, Medication Nursing Assistants, Qualified Medication Aide) and different rules and regulations where they can and can not work.

From what I have read here at allnurses and a few of the states' websites, you do not transfer a CNA certificate (license) from one state to another. You would keep your current state's CNA license until it expires. Some states will give you a CNA license by Reciprocity, other states will not. Went to google and searched for "Pennsylvania nursing assistant" and found - > Pennsylvania Department of Health, Nurse Aide Registry http://www.dsf.health.state.pa.us/health/cwp/view.asp?A=188&Q=200721 > Nurse Aide Registry http://www.asisvcs.com/publications/pdf/063900.pdf > The Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Candidate Handbook http://www.asisvcs.com/publications/pdf/063900.pdf "Eligibility by Reciprocity If you are a nurse aide currently listed on another state's nurse aide (or equivalent) registry as active and in good standing (according to federal nursing home nurse aide statutes), and you are seeking enrollment on the Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Registry, you should contact Pearson VUE at the address listed on the inside front cover of this handbook for a Reciprocity Application. Note: Consistent with 42 CFR 483.75(e)(2), nursing home administrations may employ a non-registered individual as a nurse aide for up to 120 days while the individual works to achieve registration in PA either through the nurse aide training and testing program, or by way of reciprocity from another state." (I know a CNA that works in two states, and keeps both licenses active.) :typing

I did a google search for California nursing assistant training and found this ... Certified Nursing Assistant Programs http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ct/rp/cna.asp Hope that helps.

You want to work in Mass ... I am having difficulty wording this ... I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. From what I have been reading online, we do not "transfer" our CNA/LNA to another state. Don't know if you would return the NH one to NH, give the NH one to Mass, or keep both and let the NH one expire. I think you would submit an application to the new state. It appears that most states will allow you to be placed on the registry (obtain a license) by reciprocity, some states will not. (copied from somewhere) "Reciprocity" ... refers to accepting and adding an aide to the registry of one state, based on the aide's registry listing and requirements met in another state. (North Carolina does not accept reciprocity from other states ...) In your case, you would be applying to be added to the registry of Mass based on the registry listing and requirements you met in NH. My suggestion is to call Mass and say that you are moving to Mass and would like to work in that state as a NA/CNA and ask what you should do. I went to the Mass website and did not find anything helpful. Although this page does have contact information. http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=eohhs2terminal&&L=5&L0=Home&L1=Government&L2=Departments+and+Divisions&L3=Department+of+Public+Health&L4=Programs+and+Services+K+-+S&sid=Eeohhs2&b=terminalcontent&f=dph_quality_healthcare_g_about_nurse_aide&csid=Eeohhs2 Nurse Aide Registry Program, 99 Chauncy Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02111 (617) 753-8143) p.s. I met someone a couple of years ago who lives near the border of two states and she said that she is on the registry of both states. Most states have CNAs; NH has LNA, Ohio has STNA, NC has CNA1, CNA2. I did not see 'Certified' at the Mass webpage, only Nurse Aide. Hope this helps. Let us know what happened.

i know this is a stupid question, but i just can't figure it out. it's probably so simple, yet i don't get it. there are no stupid questions. if you are paid every two weeks, you could have three days off one week and work the entire week through (more than five days) the next week. if you are paid weekly, you would work five days and get two days off. one week you would have sunday and one weekday off. the next week you would have one weekday and saturday off. example/sample - i get paid weekly. here is my schedule. w = work day, f = day off. february 2009 [color=white]01w [color=white]02w [color=white]03f[color=white]04w [color=white]05w [color=white]06w [color=white]07f [color=white]08f [color=white]09w 10w 11w 12f 13w 14w 15w 16f 17w 18w 19w 20w 21f 22f 23w 24w 25w 26w 27f 28w .

i watched the youtube video. do not believe everything you see online!! the title of the video should be icu nursing, not cna nursing. i have been a cna for almost two decades. :redbeathe did you notice/hear time :58 - keith states he is a graduate from pacificunioncollege. time :2:25 - blood work, prescription order sheets. paperwork that i do not see or do. time :2:55 - i have never examined a patient. time 4:52 - i would be fired/terminated on the spot if i ever told a patient's family (or friend) the condition of the patient. .

In my LTC facility, I work 3-11, the CNAs have 'dining room duty'. The CNAs and are responsible for passing the trays, 'meat cutting', feeding residents and charting the amount consumed and, if applicable, fluid intake. The nurse is passing meds, answering the phone, having discussions with doctors, residents, family, etc. ( Toileting during the supper time and shortly thereafter is not really a problem. The CNAs toilet many residents in the 30-60 minutes before the meal. If a resident does ask during the meal the nurse prefers to do the toileting as she gets to see the color of urine, amount/size of BM. In the event of choking, the CNA will call (YELL) "I need help in the Dining Room (or Room 9) NOW !!! "
