My god, what sort of facility do you work at? I assume a hospital?

YAY! What kind of things did she ask? Were you in your PJ's?

Hrrm...for my home health care job I had to take a test but I wasn't yet a CNA, I was a "Personal Support Aid" Maybe its one of those personality tests. Where the question is: "I think it's okay to steal from work sometimes" - Strongly Agree -Agr...

Actually, I totally agree! When I was testing, my evaluator said, "Amanda I know you're nervous, but you need to breathe" Haha >.

Hey ya'll, I just wanted to see if anyone else went to a school that did this weird method of nursing school selection (LPN/LVN program) First you take the TEAS test. Then if you make the National Average (which is the minimum requirement) They tak...

OMG! Good job you guys! God willing this will be me next fall

I did a phone interview for a home health company. It went horribly but I guess they decided to take a chance on me. :yelclap:

I posted a topic about it today, https://allnurses.com/cna-ma-nursing/home-health-vs-759847.html Anyway, I dont like it much. I've been doing it since Feb and its my first job as a CNA. PROS: You get to see the same clients each week (from my experie...

Wait, what are you right now? Are you a PCT?

Nope, I'd probably just act like it didnt happen and do my final lab practical and final exam. Unless he wanted to bring it up. I guess then it's inevitable.

He sounded pretty crazy. And maybe thats a reason he's teaching and not working in the medical field right now. At times you have to pick your battles, and crazy people are not worth it. I only hope he wont be treating you unfairly due to this =(

Hows your GPA? Do the schools you're interested in require a certain score on the TEAS test? Honestly, I'm feeling more and more that pre-reqs are just the beginning of the anxiety of being a pre-nursing student O_O

No you're not reading it wrong. From what I've seen, all this stuff varies from state to state. Even the scope of practice for CNA's, LPN's and RN's vary! In Georgia, from most job postings I've seen for CNA's, only require a CNA or PCT certification...

Im sorry but what does the "acute care" program teach you to do? I've not heard of it.

Hrrrm....I have worked in people oriented jobs all my life. And there are catty, rude women - but there are rude men. I would say that rude women offend me more because as females I feel a kinship. But having a woman with clearly more money than me r...

WOW, that is seriously crazy!

Dang are you serious? At my community college, it takes 1.5 years XD Anyway @ Andrew: You could do a CNA class, takes 1 semester. And then work on a degree while working in the medical field. Thats my plan

Once a lesbian elderly patient flirted with me. It was pretttttttty weird man

A CNA inserting catheters and dressing changes?

The written test is kind of a joke. In GA at least, it is. There is very little "nursing" type questions on it. It's mostly common sense. Like here is an example question: Betty is a resident at a LTC Facility. Betty does not believe there is a ...

East Metro Atlanta - $8.75

Wow! That's just horrible! I wouldnt even know what to begin to do, but I wanted to tell you I'm sorry this injustice happened to you =(

I was one of the people that thinks the test is common sense, lmao. Most questions on the GA test are like "If your resident has no religion, what do you do?" And the choices are like push your religion on them, respect their choice, invite them to...

GOOD JOB! Did you apply at the place you did your clinicals at?

I am sure it will dear! =)
