    Paws2people replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    Common error made on here... They really mean CNA "certification." The words license and certification are not interchangeable, but license sure sounds better :) Either way, the state takes your...

    Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

    Paws2people replied to ProudNeWRN's topic in General Nursing

    CNA verses Certified Caregiver

    Paws2people replied to Skayda's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Why don't you just call Prometric in Washington State and find out the difference between a CNA and a NAR? Explain your situation, and they will refer you to what you should

    Google "CNA Interview Questions." It will give you an idea of what they might ask. Usually its stuff like: why do you want to work here, what can you bring to our hospital that other CNA's can't, how...

    CNA hourly pay rate?

    Paws2people replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In NY, it's $14-$17 to start. Plus shift differential. Usually 3-11pm is $1.50 extra, and 11-7am is $2.00 extra. Of course this is evened out by the cost if living being so high

    Paws2people replied to Paws2people's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Paws2people replied to eta15's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I went there (and hated it!) and the school is mixed age-wise. Everyone from 18-70 was in my class. Don't worry about being too young :) This school is happy to get students/victims and ageism won't...
