    Good Jobs for Nursing Students

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

    New to 3rd Shift

    WannaBNursey replied to colleen3273's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When you work (as long as you're not sitting or in home care) it's pretty hard to get tired, there's too much going on. I suggest staying up late a few nights before if you can and then napping during...

    Do you think this will result in termination?

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

    First CNA Job

    WannaBNursey replied to AspiringLPN2014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So is it at a hospital? $9.50 is pretty good pay for a new CNA. My first job paid $9-$10/hour depending on the patient's insurance. After a couple years experience you'll be worth more! Congrats...

    Bowing out gracefully

    WannaBNursey replied to mstearns09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At the end of the day you need to do what's best for you and your family. The nursing home wouldn't keep you around if you weren't a fit for them, now they just aren't the best fit for you. You do...

    Extremely Overweight Nurses

    WannaBNursey replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Nursing Career
