  2. What is difference between cna and care partner?

    mvm2 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to newcna2015's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It might not be you but the nursing home that is having the problems. All you can do is keep trying to ask them how's it going. The one thing is if they are having problems they probably can't check...

  5. I can't find a Cna job!!

    mvm2 replied to Courtneyjamesw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm so sorry that you had such a bad experience in home care. I've had a very good experience with home care and usually a good agency would keep you busy even if some clients did not turn out. I've...

  7. Is becoming a CNA a bad idea?

    mvm2 replied to Cinnibun2618's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  10. Is Emerge nursing harder than medicine, med-surg and rehab?

    mvm2 replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    mvm2 replied to BSNMomOf6's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to pdxrunner's topic in General Nursing

  14. Did anyone feel this way when they first started working as a CNA?

    mvm2 replied to FNP2B1210's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think that in health care you can never be 100% prepared for the job and tasks that is required. It is a learning process I feel that the classroom just can not give you. Every job and place has...

    mvm2 replied to E Non Imus, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure she wanted to speak with this poor child because she knew she just put herself in a world of hurt by losing her temper with a child that did not deserve that. She probably thought opps what...

    mvm2 replied to ItsSarahwithanH's topic in General Nursing

    If you have in-laws that are willing to have you,maybe you could call them and ask if you could come there while you are looking for a job. I think things might go faster for you if you were in...
