    A male classmate of mine, got very lucky and got a job at our local hospital. The same hospital we did our clinicals at. The nursing director, shook my classmate's hand and said " you got the job"....

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

    Thanks for your replies. I don't mind if the Hospital checks my credit. Hell, I'll be the first to admit that it's bad..... (thanks to my ex). I'm not going to jeapordize a potential job position,...

  3. Finally, Got the letter I was waiting for

    CNA/glorified maid posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have finally heard from the State Board. However, due to my "criminal history" 12yrs ago, I had to get all my court and probation dispositions. That was difficult, because it happened so long...

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

    Absolutely!!!! And it doesn't hurt, that 9 of them are from R.N.'s. I live next door to one. 5 of my highschool mates are R.N.'s. My cna instructor and my preceptor, that's two. And my parent's...

    CNA/glorified maid posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am still, waiting ever so patiently, to hear back from the FL state board of nursing. I got fingerprinted 3 wks. ago. They said it may take up to 3wks b/4 I here something. How much longer should...

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

    No, I am waiting for the State to issue me a skills test "location" and "date". From what I gather, things run a little slow here in

  7. CNA vs Medical Assistant

    CNA/glorified maid replied to smellyacres's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have a friend that just finished Medical Assisstant class. She just got a job at a hospital. She starts out at $ 12.00 an hour, full-time. That's pretty good, here in Fl. Because, I am going for...

    CNA/glorified maid posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ok, I have been studying up on my "clinical skills checklist" that we are given in school, here in FL. I just have to know, when it comes time to do your skills test, do you gather up the supplies...

    CNA/glorified maid replied to mar12011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My cna class instructor, told us that now there is a "no lift policy" in effect for all nursing care facilities. That every facility is equiped with a "hoy lift"(not sure of the spelling). Later I...

  10. Anyone start as a CNA in their forties?

    CNA/glorified maid replied to heartbeep's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow, now I don't feel so bad. I thought for sure that I was the only one making a career change in their 40's. I was however the oldest in my cna class. Some students "tried" calling me "momma...

  11. skills test question

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

    Yes, that absolutely does help, me....anyway. There was actually more to the story, than I was told the 1st time. I just found out from her a little more detail. Bottom line is, she was constantly...

  12. L.P.N.'s NO MORE

    CNA/glorified maid posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Got another question, why are they doing away with LPN's? Some of us do not want to be CNA's forever, but don't think they can be an RN. So an LPN would be a happy medium. But if there is no...

    Thanks for your reply. I guess that does give me "some" glimmer of hope. I've heard 1/2 positive responses and 1/2 negative. Like I said, I took cna class at my local community college and...

  16. finished cna school with a felony record

    CNA/glorified maid replied to CNA/glorified maid's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Well, the fact that your classmate, w/ the 10 yr old felony, was even able to take the state test, gives me a glimmer of hope. I'm just scared of the "rejection". I've come a long way in life. I...

    CNA/glorified maid replied to nursester's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
