    "Acceptable" minimum amount of time to stay in one CNA position?

    WannaBNursey replied to gypsysoul27's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you asking how much experience you need before you can find another job or how much time do you need to spend with any single job. I've had 3 jobs as a CNA, my first I stayed for a year, the...

    CNA ER Interview today

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

    Wow! They hired you the same day, and you had no previous CNA experience. You must have been really great in your interview. It's great that they want to work with your school schedule as well! That's...

    Does it sound like I can get my job back?

    WannaBNursey replied to hfullerCNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    After reading this I deactivated my facebook account. It's more trouble than it's

    Applied for a CNA job at a hospital and;

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

    I have a job with an agency and I had to take three tests. I wasn't really interviewed, but oriented and I got the job, though an agency is very different from a hospital. It all depends on your...

    CNA/PCA Interview with the same nurse manager

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some insight from you all about my situation. I was previously interviewed and nearly hired into a position in a hospital about a month or two ago and I was...

    Do you feel that patients look down on you because youre a CNA/HHA?

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

    Are you trying to say that it's clearly everybody else's fault and there's absolutely nothing wrong with your approach at all? I'd reexamine the way you dealt with these patients. Yes, there are some...

    End of shift horrors

    WannaBNursey replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    God that's awful. It's not your fault, sounds like the bed was not up to standards. That's so frightening. I have been fortunate to not have anything like that happen to me as of yet and I pray that...

    Do you feel that patients look down on you because youre a CNA/HHA?

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

    I've never been treated so badly by the elderly as a group. Maybe it's the way you approach them. Why would they call you an idiot for no reason? Are you working with those with Alzheimer's? Have you...

    Do you feel that patients look down on you because youre a CNA/HHA?

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

    You don't like to work with the disabled? They're not the same as the elderly and besides that, everybody is different. I've been in home health for my entire CNA career (only 3 years ) and have only...

    CNA in a heap of trouble!

    WannaBNursey replied to munski1968's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't see a way to work in the medical field with any kind of criminal background, much less an incident that occurred while on the job at the medical facility. Honestly, it's going to be hard to...

    Possible to get into nursing school with a C? Has anyone ever?

    WannaBNursey replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had 2 C's. One in statistics and one in A&P2. Honestly, I couldn't believe that I got in! The school I was admitted to had a points system where the HESI test accounted for a great deal of...

    Students & Nurses- How do I get into nursing school with low undergrad gpa?

    WannaBNursey replied to clg0213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that for most ADN programs, your overall GPA doesn't matter, the only GPA that the admissions committees take into account is your pre-req GPA. As others have said there are schools with point...

    Online CNM courses?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    This is wonderful! It answers many questions I had about what online programs there are and how much they cost. Thank

    What kind of school are you going to? Is this one of the last diploma RN

    please help! i need opinions!

    WannaBNursey replied to haleighanne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on what you want to do with your life. I suggest you don't put your eggs in one basket. Finish your pre-req's and apply to every school in and around your area (and out of the area...

    Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    WannaBNursey replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you know what an actual debate is? What you are doing is not debating. You're trying to seem witty, but frankly you're presenting yourself as rude. Go back and reread your comments. Some of them...

    Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    WannaBNursey replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This was the problem I had with your post as well. You are saying that you don't have to be "smart" to be a nurse. I feel that you have to be very smart to be a nurse! Nursing is one of the few...

    Home care?

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

    They're hiring for 12 hour shifts? Wow! Having worked in home health for my entire CNA career I can say that I only worked 12 hour shifts on special occasions. Home Health is nice, it's easier (for...

    Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    WannaBNursey replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got two C's in my pre-req's. I had panic attacks nearly every day until I figured out a back up plan if I didn't get into a nursing program. It's stressful! I don't think I'm the smartest, but...

    Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    WannaBNursey replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know you're trying to be positive, but frankly there are some people who cannot and should not be able to get into nursing. Being intelligent does have a lot of something to do with it. If it takes...

    What do you think? Cause I know it's not right..

    WannaBNursey replied to rksgray13's topic in Home Health

    Find a different facility? I've worked at agencies where there are many RN's and they barely get work and are forced (or guilted) into working days that they explicitly said they wanted off, and I've...

    Recession isn't only thing holding millennials back; basic skill sets missing

    WannaBNursey replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I thank my mother for not allowing me to use cell phones until I was 18 and even then only for emergencies. I can't stand texting and I hate the idea of being attached to a cellphone. I think the...

    Considering that Comcast phone/internet/cable service only costs $99.00/month for a family a four and insurance for a healthy 20 year old girl with no preexisting conditions would cost over $500.00 a...

    CNA Opinions and Experiences Q & A!!

    WannaBNursey replied to Sarahejones91's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What are the cons of being a CNA? Grossly underpaid, disrespected by nurses and fellow CNA's. It's very easy to get injured on the job, even if you are using proper body mechanics. What are the pros...
