Thank you I will see what google provides

Does that work w a current licence? Will I need retake the test or does it transfer? Tia

This is true. Found out kst nite, 3rd shift cleans kitchen, dining room, bathrooms at night. Not quite what I expected to be doing as a c a. It is at an assisted living facility. Leaning towards calling the other place. Might be more physical but I'd be doing more of what I was trained to do. Thank you for responding.

Care of 13 patients plus taking care of a wing w 2 other CNAs. I thought the first job was ideal w all that I have on my plate but beginning to wonder if I should go w the 2nd job as they seem to be managed better. I'm a brand new CNA either would my first job....any advice? Thank you.

One shld be PT 24 hrs one week 29 the 2nd. Set days to work. If I can't work I have to get my own replacement. It's 3rd shift. Most of the residents take care of themselves w just reminders, they only have 13total care. Residents between 2cnas and every1 helps if they r short staffed. It's automatic fire if u don't get a replacement and don't come in. At night there is only the 2 CNAs and they have to make sure everyone in the building is ok in addition to the ones they care for. Seemed ideal w going to school PT and mom duties at home. However the times I have been in, seems like they don't run things well or someone else needs asking before I can get an answer. I also got a call bout a 3rd shift position. pT. they are organized w the physical and TB testing, orientation and hoyer lifting usage (other facility has one but never uses it. I would also would also be would also be takin

Thank you all for responding. I will keep trying. I have had two interviews and waiting on one to call to see if they have a position, want to hire me. The other one I need to call back for a second interview if they hadn't hired someone yet.

I got mine in August. Started looking a couple weeks ago. Will know by Tuesday if one place is going to offer me a job and getting ready to see about a second LTC a second interview and then they decide.

Good luck. Got my CNA in August. Also working on pre reqs for a nursing program.

Just got certified in August. I have been home for the last 13+ yrs. and currently am going to s hool for nursing pre reqs part time . Basically other than two week clinicals have no work experience. How long can I expect to look? I had a job interview one. Might get called back for interview 2. Wondering if I will ever get a chance.

Thank you both. I will def be asking these questions when the time comes.

Hello, just got certified in August and I'm starting to put in applications. What kinds of questions shouldi be asking during the interview? The only one I can think of is the ratio of how many residents to CNA and what is a good ratio w that? What ratio would show too many to adequately takecare of? Benefits. Scheduling? Is there anything else? Thank you for any and all help.

I passed Thursday August 23rd 2012......:)

Just starting and going PT til nursing school. Got a math class to take to be ready 4 college lvl math, taking English comp and ivy techs success class b/c it's required. Next sem another math, ap1and a comm class on interpersonal communication skills I think. This is my first semester.

Thank you every1 and congrats viburnum. I agree the written is a lot common sense. It's remembering every little step on the skills part that has me anxious.
