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

    Use a automatic BP monitor, problem solved =p. Practice, practice

  2. I hate my job as a certified nursing assistant and want to quit after two weeks!

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

    If you have already made your mind up about not wanting to work at the facility, just quit. Call your manager, or go talk to them in person and tell them the job is not for you. Who cares what they...

  3. Should I be a Certified Nursing Assistant?

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

    don't waste your time taking a CNA course, unless your still trying to decide if nursing is right for you. You will learn the skills once your in school, or at least during your clinicals. IMO...

  4. CNA/PCT work schedules in hosp.

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

    Yup all depends on the hospital. I would track down the person who hires the PCT's and have a chat with them, then let them know of your plans. Ask them if they hire PRN aides, and check on hours...

  5. Being too anxious?

    EMTJAY replied to MissChristi86's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's only been two days? You do have to realize things take time to develop. Give it a couple more days, then place a phone call to the facility, and speak with the person whom you gave your resume...

  6. CNA Courses in Houston/Katy area?

    EMTJAY replied to allisonhayes34's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can try Lone Star College, but I can't remember if they offer a CNA or PCT program. Also, try applying for financial aid, FAFSA would be a good

  7. Do college classes (prenursing) count for continuing education units?

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

    Not sure about MS, but in California you're able to use the course credits. Contact your state agency by phone, and maybe they could give you the

  8. Is it wise to stay in long term care?

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

    If you were planning on becoming a RN in the future than working in the hospital would be the way to go. I believe you won't do much, if any Pt care in a LTC or hospice setting working as a RN. Keep...

  9. Is it wise to stay in long term care?

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

    Do you plan on becoming a RN in the future? If so consider your CNA position a stepping stone to a better career. I do hope you go on and continue your education in the future, and not stay a CNA...

  10. CNA Help!!!

    EMTJAY replied to Shonqueen1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Very tough decision you have. Do you make enough at your part time job to meet your financial responsibilities? If so, skip the CNA work. Spend your free time doing your school work, and spending...

  11. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    EMTJAY replied to Daisy Morris's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did you include you legal issue on the job app? I know some places will let you go if you don't let them know about any past criminal history. Next time you go for a interview mention the legal issue...

  12. Does anybody really care?

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

    You're going to find many things that aren't done by the book in LTC facilities. You will find the staff at most places don't care about their patients, nor have any interest in medicine. It's just...
