Hello I am currently in CNA training and have a great interest in this field. I am wanting to know what the typical duties are as a CNA? Would it be beneficial for me to get my Medication Aide certificate or will this be something that is typically t...

I agree, the CNA program can open doors into the mental health field for you. My previous employer always hired CNA's in the mental health field and if that was your interest they would pay for you to return to school as a Psych tech. Good luck to yo...

I wore my watch the entire time and I am in Oklahoma. It is not a big deal in my state......You may want to be sure though, good luck to you, fellow CNA :) P.S. the written is soooooooooo easy compared to the skills!

I am so excited after being nervous about this testing for weeks! Anyother new grads this month or recently? Next step for me is finding a PT CNA/HHA position and starting the LPN program in January, everything seemed to be finally starting to come t...

hi subincrnatobe in oklahoma we have a cna and aua (advanced unlicensed assistant, comparable to pct) i am assuming that a cna 2 is similar to an aua in my state. i am sure that once you get some experience as a cna 2 you can advance with better pay...

hi eduardolugo congrats on getting your cna which by the way was not a waste of time. i am not sure what state you live in but finding work is hard for us all. start with the foot work, look in your local yellow pages and call all the nursing facili...

Don't feel bad, I paid $30 online and it didn't work, luckily my mother had an extra one from LPN school years ago :)

Try and relax as much as possible. Remember the basics- Knock before entering a room, greet and introduce yourself. As far as your skills, you are not expected to know them all. I started by making unoccupied beds ,passing and collecting trays noting...

Thanks for all of the Congrats, I really appreciate that. Sarahejones91, the exam (written) was easy to me, with the actual skills test I can not stress enough to you to practice, practice, practice until you are confident. I watched alot of youtube ...

Congrats on getting started. I just completed my CNA course and skills on June 26. I too am a full-time student taking 18 hours, plus working FT, and a mom of two small children. I did not find the actual CNA book work very difficult at all, the main...

Thanks Skayda I do have a question about your general area, I have considered relocating to either Seattle or Portland after nursing school. Have you ever lived in either city, visited often? If so, can you give me some insight on the two as far Good...

Hey Skayda It sounds like a great position, too bad Im in Oklahoma :) You should try posting this in the WA state forum, you will probably get lots of responses. Good Luck

I am currently going on my 4th week of my CNA training and the training is 7 weeks total. My average grade for all of the written tests and exams is a 98%, however, it seems when I go to perform or practice the skills during lab I forget a step in th...

Hi I am curretly in a CNA program and have just started the skills part of the course, I am wondering if there are any free online sites that demonstrate the skills correctly? I am in Oklahoma if that makes a difference. Thank you so much for your he...

Hello All I am currently in my final semester of pre-reqs at Oklahoma State university and recently found out about Breckinridge school at ITT tech. There actaully have been quite a few students that have transferred to this school. Has anyone attend...

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to this site and let me start by saying this is such a great website! I am due to start a CNA class on May 15 in Oklahoma. I am currently taking a full load of courses for the RN program. But after the CNA class I will...

I am not sure in your state, I'm in Oklahoma and I do have a classmate that had a DUI felony from two years ago and that did not stop her from getting her CNA without an expungement....But the only thing is she has to wait five years before she can ...

I am so sorry for your hardships, just know that once you become an RM this will make it that much sweeter :) Have you ever thought of moving out of state? That is what I had to do. I am also from California and was on quite a few waitlist until I de...
