Thank you! It looks like no classes on Wednesdays?

I am really interested to know what a day to day looks like for the first semester/year of the program. Anyone with any insights?

It really depends on the facility where you work. Some train you for EKG, or phlebotomy or both! Some won't let you do anything with EKG or phlebotomy if you have your CNA because it is completely outside your job description. Always check your job d...

Sacred Heart, West Florida, and Baptist are the three main hospitals in the Pensacola area.

Where I work RN's and Aides wear hunter green, pharmacy and lab wear tan or brown, housekeeping wears dark blues/navy.

I work as a CNA at a hospital that often has nursing students for clinicals. A male patient had a male student nurse taking care of him. I was checking on all the patients on the hall as usual. I came into his room, asked him if he needed anything ju...

I'll second that Kindred is a great starter. That's where I started working and there were a lot of great people that took the time to show me the ropes.

Why not try working each one to see which one you prefer?

Thank you! I got a job right away in Idaho, but here it's just not working! If I find anything out I'll keep you posted :)

An answer would be very greatly appreciated as I don't know what's going on with these either! I just got reciprocity from Idaho to Florida and CEU is foreign to me. I am having a hard time finding a job here in Florida, could this be a reason?

Well WSU Washington State University is in Pullman Washington. But their nursing school is in Spokane Washington. The Tri-Cities are near to Pullman. There are a lot of community college nursing programs in the Tri-Cities area, but none are 4 year un...

"wsu tricites" Do you mean WSU Tri-Cities? There is a nursing school there. I'm just trying to figure out what you mean.

Congrats! That's awesome!

Sounds like you're dressed nice! Good luck!

Yeah, take it again as soon as you can.

Congrats!

As long as you do your job well and care about the resident, they will like you in return. Some residents may not get along with you well. But that's the same with any situation. Some people just don't get along as well as others.

Are you applying anyway? I have been told by CNA's who have been working 10+ years that if a hospital or home is posting that they need CNA's they are desperately needing them. If it says they want experience, apply anyway but go into the interview a...
