    Getreal2011 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay, so I was blessed and now I have my first job as a CNA. I went through a three day training last week, but I still feel so nervous about being out on my own this coming Tuesday. I thought about...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually, I didn't say that I never got a thermometer. - R.I.F. I am resourceful, not to mention my previous jobs were in management...so, relax a little. I was new, just learning the ropes, and was...

  4. New job and nervous as all you know what...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, that was short lived. I learned some things though. I had to resign, first because my studies began to suffer. I had to ask for an extension on a paper and fell behind quick on other stuff....

  5. Would appreciate your input on resume content...

    Getreal2011 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just finished a CNA training course and will be taking the state test soon, so I'm also working on a resume. I have extensive experience and a bachelor's degree in another field. However, I have...

  6. BAD PRECEPTOR!!

    Getreal2011 replied to NurxingRoxx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've had similar experiences in life. As hard as it was, I did learn something though. I realized what I did not want to be like when it was my turn to be in that position. It's hard, especially when...

  7. Nervous about the State exam! Any tips???

    Getreal2011 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am really happy that I passed my CNA training course. It was kind of sad saying goodbye to everyone. We wound up being a very small group and grew rather close. :heartbeat I am soooooo nervous...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wooohooo for you!!! I pray, I pass the 1st time around. It's funny you suggested the scrubs. I was just thinking about that the other day. I think it will put me more in the frame of mind I need to...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    i agree and i have been looking, but i have not seen any resumes that have (i'm not sure how to express this) a change of career. all the resumes i have seen are completely healthcare. not...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OMG!!! Yes, you are a God-sent! I mean or course I have a few resumes, but all with other experience. I was going to create a new one as you suggested, but I was going to totally leave off all my...

  11. Nervous about the State exam! Any tips???

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you! I'm glad you said that! During clinicals we really didn't do any ROMs skills, so I'm not experienced that much with them. Definitely going to have to go over those. Thank you, once...

  12. Nervous about the State exam! Any tips???

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, I am practicing, definitely! I hope to goodness I'm not given BP. I wrote out some flashcards and have been watching videos on Youtube. I have to remember also, to provide privacy. Thank you...

    Thank you! I will try my best not to.

  14. 2nd week of clinicals and I don't know if I'm going to make it

    Getreal2011 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Tonight was difficult. I do not find situations with the residents extremely stressful, it's other things. Before we got to clinicals we were told to jump in and there wouldn't be a lot of hand...

  18. Did you need a stethoscope when taking the class?

    Getreal2011 replied to can'tdecide's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just finished clinicals this past week. We did use them during class. While during clinicals at a nursing home, I did notice that a good few CNAs had their own. I paid about $35 for a stethoscope...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you! I'm not going to give up. It was tempting to just challenge and go take the test. I figured I'm half way through why do that now? Great job...well....I'm trying my best that's all I...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't dread it! I was venting about one day. Overall it has been a good experience. We all go through tough spots, me and you included. I actually had a night or two where I wasn't ready to go. It...

  21. 2nd week of clinicals and I don't know if I'm going to make it

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I thought it was going to be that way. I would have loved for it to be like that, because then I would get to see some of the residents more than once. The CNAs that work there are nice though. We...

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're absolutely right. It was probably just a rotten day. I do try extra hard, so it does bother me more than some others I guess. I love your

    Getreal2011 replied to Getreal2011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It hasn't been all bad at all. I have had some pretty good experiences doing this. It was very enlightening for me, because I didn't really know any of my grandparents. My mom's parents died when...
