Hey, I am conflicted on how to go about my future career. I would love to be a RN but from talking to the counselors they say its almost impossible to get accepted into their 2 year nursing program. So I was thinking of doing CMA instead. Any suggest...

I already apologized to him/her. Thank you for the information, I don't try to look for offense it's just most of the time, in my past, people are cruel.

I apologize, it's just everyone I talk to gives me different answers or is basically rude to me because I don't know where to start. I want to make the right decision, what's the best plan for my future and my family. I'm so worried I'm going to do a...

According to the counselors you submit an application before you start doing your prerequisites, then assuming you complete the all with a 3.8 GPA or higher they will consider you. Then if they think your worthy they will call you to set up an interv...

Perhaps. Or perhaps you shouldn't bother commenting if you just want to be mean and sarcastic. Perhaps I'm new to this app/site and thought maybe just maybe if I put it up in general discussion someone would help me out. Guess not. Thanks though :)

I will be completing my CNA classes through the Red Cross in Louisville and wondered what the average pay was for a new CNA. I would much rather work in a hospital so is the pay different than say in a nursing home?

Well in April I passed the Kentucky certification so I am a CNA!! Anyways I want to continue my education and become an RN. My question is which and how many prerequisites do I need in order to do to associates degree for nursing? I know the ADN obvi...

i find it so frustrating. everyone wants cnas experience, i even read a job add that wanted someone with ten years of experience, but how am i supposed to get any experience if no one will give me the chance to begin to develop some? how can they exp...

Are Certified Nurse Assistant and Certified Medical Assistant the same thing? And if not what is the difference between the two (as in duties,pay,how do you become a cma, etc)?

I have just started CNA classes and I really want to move up to LPN after that. I will have to find a job right after becoming a CNA due to financial issues so I would be working and trying to do school together, plus being married and trying to have...

Will an emergency room at a hospital or even a walk in clinic hire a CNA?

I am starting my CNA class the Thursday, the 9th! I am very nervous and excited at the same time. I am doing this through the Red Cross, has anyone else done this through them as well? What should I bring on the first day? I am doing my classes at th...

So you're allowed to bring a computer to take notes on? Man that would be great cause I can type faster than I can write, plus then I can organize it all when I get home. Is there a lot of homework or studying that is needed to be done at home? Readi...

I start this Thursday and it ends on May 7th, it is a total of 11 classes. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. Starting at 8:00am till 4:30pm. I have a pretty good knowledge of medical terminology and SIG codes. Will they help you build a resume? I wou...

I have just registered for the 02/09/2012 to 03/07/2012 CNA courses provided by the Red Cross in Louisville, KY. I was just wondering if maybe anyone else on here will be attending those classes as well. Maybe I could make some friends around here co...

Thank you for all the great information! Do you enjoy being a CNA? When did you enjoy it more; working at a nursing home, upscale nursing home, or in a hospital? Ok so I have an odd question, last night my dog got really sick and was vomiting everywh...

I wasnt trying to sound mean. I have applied for other medical positions before and had a bad experience with the whole "need experience" thing. Im a pharmacy technician (as in certified but never worked). I worked really hard on studying and everyth...

I haven't applied. That would be kinda dumb to apply for a job I'm not qualified for. I have been readin the ads, classifieds, craigslist, etc.

Im not picky in the sense that I will only apply for hospital jobs, I just would prefer it. Ill apply anywhere, any hours, and do any job. I would love to do EKG training but I dont have $800 just sitting around. It was hard enough for me to get the ...

Goodness thats even worse than my pity party. Im just young, but youve even been through so much and people are still tell you youre not experienced enough. I made an entire thread about this whole experience thing, figure we cant be the only ones ou...

I find that so frustrating. Everyone wants CNAs experience, I even read a job add that wanted someone with ten years of experience, but how am I supposed to get any experience if no one will hire me so I can develop some experience? Its like having c...

it costs $650 dollars which includes my work books, blood pressure kit, and criminal background check. what it does not cover is the tb test, uniforms (red scrub pants and a white red cross shirt), white shoes, and then the state testing fee. for ken...

Hes in the same boat as I am, most guys in the Army like to get wasted and hang out in bars, which he only does on occasion since its expensive and boring after a while. Most of the Army wives spread rumors like there is no tomorrow. Drama, drama, dr...

I figured the CPR class should be easy, but I might as well knock it out now while I have nothing better to do. Plus I will already have it when I become a CNA and then it will be another thing to add to my resume! I'm anxious and excited at the same...
