    Look for a new job or stay where I am?

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

    If you plan to work at this hospital, then apply and see what happens. Get some experience before you try to apply again. Like MommaTy stated, most hospitals want to see a year of experience. I...

    certified LPN considering CNA/PCT/ or MA instead

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

    It's difficult to find employment as an MA and I don't know that you could find work as a CNA with a LPN license. I think that once you gain a license you are not able to work beneath that license....

    Worried I am going to lose my job.

    WannaBNursey replied to Nursingstudent0688's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Was a nurse with you when you did this? If you're a student doing this under a nurse's supervision then I don't see that there should be any worries. Speak to your boss. Don't just let this hand over...

    Nursing Classroom Education: The big bang of powerpoint slavery

    WannaBNursey replied to guest042302019's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm with you OP! If I wanted to just read the book and power points, I would stay home and just read the book and power points. Unfortunately attendance is mandatory in nursing school. I can't just...

    Is it better to take the challenge exam in Florida or take a course?

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

    Florida will accept any state's certification. It's a better idea to test in Maine and transfer your certification to Florida. If you don't know exactly what to do for the Florida skills test it can...

    Discouraged by Anatomy class

    WannaBNursey replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most programs in my area don't average your F's that you've done grade replacement with. With my program, if you have two different grades for the same class, they take the higher grade. If you're...

    nursing student and CNA job?

    WannaBNursey replied to ndg37's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I attempted to work full time nights at a nursing home at the beginning of nursing school and I failed miserably. I cut down to PRN and then just quit the nursing home all together. I went back to...

    Whats it like to work as a Cna on a surgical floor: pm shift??

    WannaBNursey replied to Rachelj1222's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It depends on your hospital. At my hospital days does the baths which take up most of our time, at our sister hospital nights begins baths and does linen changes on the beds, it makes it quite a bit...

    Clinicals - FL state test

    WannaBNursey replied to Petty2618's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I failed the first time and so did my brother. I actually know many people who failed the FL skills test the first time. Practice, practice, practice. It's the same thing as nursing clinical skills...

    Edison State College admission (Florida)

    WannaBNursey replied to kelly1221's topic in Florida Nursing

    86 or 87 will definitely get you into Charlotte (unless there are a ton of people applying for this semester). I got in last year with a 74 and I still didn't have the lowest score of those who were...

    How do you keep yourself from quitting?

    WannaBNursey replied to PurplePRN's topic in General Students

    Going to work is how I keep myself from quitting. The thought of doing the back breaking labor of a CNA for the rest of my life is a pretty good

    Has anyone dropped natural science classes and gotten accepted?

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

    I had multiple drops and was able to get into an ADN RN program. They looked at the grades earned, not the classes dropped, out of the required courses. If I had a D in Micro, retook it and got a B,...

    CNA hospital job

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

    What was your personality test like? What kinds of questions were on it? I was interviewed before I took mine, but if I didn't pass it I wouldn't have been hired. It just saves time to do it...

    How to Survive the Night Shift??

    WannaBNursey replied to sixela21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I personally never recommend you sleep during a shift, even if the family is inviting you to, and if you do sleep, don't let it be for more than a half hour at a time. When you do full time night...

    TOo old?

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

    I've worked with women who were well past retirement age. Yes, you can definitely do it at 40. If you're concerned about the physical toll it may take, I suggest, as one of the above posters...

    How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

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

    There are schools that get rid of programs when their students can't find employment afterwards. A technical school in my area got rid of many programs because they found that their graduates were no...

    Which CNA program would you recommend?

    WannaBNursey replied to kamiller678's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd do the free one. I took a free class at a nursing home and did not have to sign a work contract. It's likely that the hospital is desperate for CNA's. It's free, it's hospital experience and it...

    ITT RN wanting to become a CNM

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

    As long as it's a certified program and you meat their criteria I don't see why they wouldn't let an ITT grad into their program. ADN-MSN Bridge Admission Criteria | Frontier Nursing University Good...

    Can i qualify as a cna/pct once I enter nursing school?

    WannaBNursey replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    May I ask what state you're in? I assumed that most states required testing for CNA certification. I'm sorry OP, I thought you were sort of asking if you can become a Certified Nursing Assistant...

    Sorry, I came to this thread a day late. How did your interviews

    Did follow up really help land the job?

    WannaBNursey replied to pnkgirl25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe it was just this place, it felt strange tbh and I didn't think I would get a response like that. Scared me enough to not do that again though. I'm sure there's nothing actually wrong with...

    Can i qualify as a cna/pct once I enter nursing school?

    WannaBNursey replied to mee9mee9's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Somebody asked this on the CNA forum too. In my area, the professors tell nursing students that they can get CNA/PCT jobs in the hospital after the first semester, however I was just interviewed and...

    Looking for a good stethoscope

    WannaBNursey replied to kikkidee6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you're in nursing school, I suggest a Littmann, they're wonderful! If you're not in nursing school and plan to actively work as a CNA, I don't think that you need to worry about stethoscopes. Most...

    Can i qualify as a cna/pct once I enter nursing school?

    WannaBNursey replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People keep saying this to nursing students, but I spoke with a nursing manager who said that they would not hire a student nurse on as a CNA without the actual certification. They wouldn't even give...
