  1. can someone help me how to make a CNA resume

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

    After fussing with my resume for a long time, I added a section to mine after education for "Clinical Experience" and made sure it was obvious that it was experience I did during my clinicals. Not...

  2. Nursing school options in the KC area

    parumph posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know there is NAU and BMC, and the debate is still going if their low pass rates are worth 3X the cost. Other than those, are there any other local ASN programs in the area (Jo Co) with good...

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

    Argh. This wait is killing us. Classmate of mine was given a job at the LTCF we did our clinicals at, but they are holding 2 spots open for her pending her certification. We were given a sheet...

    parumph posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Anyone else's state have a horribly long wait time after you take the state test? I'm in KS and they say "3-4 weeks". I thought it was a joke by the instructor but after talking to some other CNA's...

  5. Is it possible to work only on weekends?

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

    100% possible. Several LTC facilities around my area run a 2-shift weekend rotation. 7p-7am or 7am-7pm. If you do the over nights you get 36 hours (fri,sat,sun), overnight diff, weekend diff, and...

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

    Well we don't even know if we passed the state test till we get the cert. They have the website with the NA registry that a few of us are checking daily just in case they update it before the 3-4...

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

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

    parumph replied to kjlewis76's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    KJ, Kansas College of Nursing in Olathe is about the same price after books and such and if you have the time you can knock out the CNA in a month, 4 days or nights a week. Just depends if the drive...

  11. CNA class at Kansas College of Nursing?

    parumph replied to KSRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    I will say that anyone that takes this class and doesn't like it really is a scrooge. I just finished it and the instructor John is an excellent teacher. Made sure he over teaches, and the location...

  13. help! is it worth it to get my CNA/PCT?

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

    Check with your nursing school requirements. I know the one I'm looking at requires CNA and BLS. I'm gonna try to get EMT-B, ACLS and EKG/ECG certs before I apply just to thicken the pot. But then...
