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

    I'm sorry that things happened that way for you, but you should keep your head up and finish your clinical's with the same attitude you had going in! The woman had severe dementia and would have been...

  4. Could use some advice please!!

    Brannray replied to lmattera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Brannray replied to born2circulateRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Brannray replied to lumosnox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where I'm in school, it's not required to get the certification, but the class is a requirement. I think it's a good thing too, because you get a good feel of what the CNA's have to do every day....

    Brannray replied to Dulce29's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not sure about the NCLEX, but I do know for a fact that anywhere you apply for a job, before you are able to work a drug test is mandatory. If you aren't able to pass, then I suggest that you find...

    Brannray replied to jaredsgirl's topic in General Nursing
