    Can't find a job as a CNA....

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

    If you can't find a job in a facility, check out home health agencies. I was unable to find a job at a facility when I started out and home health agencies were the only places that were willing to...

    CNA-LVN-ADN-BSN....?

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

    It all depends on what is in your area and what is right for you. I'm a CNA and I had considered going LPN first then ADN, but the LPN program did not offer any loans and it was pretty much a pay out...

    Obama health care law upheld.

    What talents do CEO's have? I don't think anybody wants less talented people...maybe less greedy people in charge of others

    Online CNM courses?

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

    How do you like Frontier? I was looking at both Frontier and Georgetown when I haven't been studying or working. I'll apply to both after I get my BSN, but I'm leaning more toward Georgetown because...

    Obama health care law upheld.

    WannaBNursey replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm very excited and I'm glad this has been put to rest. I've been uninsured or on medicaid for nearly my entire life. I know so many others who are uninsured and unable to get insurance due to the...

    Should I become an EMT?

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

    I was thinking of taking phlebotomy and EKG classes too, but are these topics covered in nursing school? If they cover it in NS, I don't see a point to dishing out extra money to take it in a...

    Medical Assisting For Profit Vs. Tech School programs

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

    $15-$18 and hour is how much LPN's make around here. What state do you live

    Medical Assisting For Profit Vs. Tech School programs

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

    In my area MA's and CNA's make the same amount of money, but CNA's have more opportunities for employment, largely because of turn over rate. I would encourage you to not quit your teaching job to...

    Should I become an EMT?

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

    As an EMT how hard was it for you to get a job and how much more do you get paid as an EMT than a CNA? I was considering going for an EMT if I couldn't get into nursing and now that I'm in nursing...

    How To Answer The Most Common Nursing Interview Questions

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

    I've had one interview exactly like that for a CNA position (I'm not a nurse yet, but these interview questions apply to just about any job in the Healthcare field). I had a lot like your question...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    WannaBNursey replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    It was the same in Tennessee and somehow I got around the 18 and over Florida rule. I've been a CNA since I was 17 and I thought it was a great decision. While working in home health, I've often been...

    Confused between school and preganacy

    WannaBNursey replied to sabita143's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My mother got pregnant with me when she was 17, had me at 18 and I must say, I'm pretty freaking happy to be alive. She was also without family support, but we lived in a state with great welfare...

    How do you think I'm doing for a Pre-Nursing student???

    WannaBNursey replied to keithm101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have got to pull your grades up and change your study habits. I had two C's and I got into nursing school, but I am definitely the exception and not the rule. Nursing programs (for the most part)...

    What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    WannaBNursey posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I'm a CNA in southwest Florida. I've applied to three different hospitals in my area and at least 7 different PCA positions between these hospitals. I've only applied a week ago, but I'm wondering if...

    I'm a CNA, not a MAID.

    WannaBNursey replied to Darkstar1485's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've pretty much done Home Healthcare since becoming a CNA with a little bit of staffing on the side. I don't mind cooking and cleaning, I just mind when the client expects me to cook like a chef or...

    Thanks! These are great step by step instructions! I wish I had a linen cart. This in in somebody's home and I get to clean the linens!

    Florida CNA test advice/help

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

    I heard that the Florida exam recently removed blood pressure, and I just checked and it's not on the prometric list, so that's one less thing you have to worry about! The written test was easier than...

    New cna rant: Being a cna feels so uninspiring

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

    You sound like me 2 years ago. I hated working as a CNA and knew that after that experience I would just never be a nurse. Now I'm in nursing school! Things change, I grew up a little. I was actually...

    i want to die i failed my cna exam

    WannaBNursey replied to yajaira21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I first did it I passed the written and failed the skills. I failed catheter care, I wasn't taught how to do it in my training program. My brother also failed his skills tests, his was weighing a...

    What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    WannaBNursey replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I think once you're certified, it'll be a lot easier to find work. Most of the jobs probably require the certification. There are some employers that actually don't like the student thing! A lot of...

    How to work while in nursing school?

    WannaBNursey replied to margritamix's topic in General Students

    I was lucky enough to find a PCT job that is only weekends. So I get 2 12's and I don't have to mess up my sleep schedule to work! I was worried I would have to work nights. I haven't started classes...
