  1. Cna hourly wages/nursing home?

    mvm2 replied to BreakRoom011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    $11.50 seems pretty reasonable for start rate. But slayer is right as well that it all depends on location. Some may start at $9.00 while others $12-$13

  2. 36:1 ratio?

  3. Biting the bullet and retaking the skills exam.

    mvm2 replied to MerryMary67's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It seems you are doing everything you can. It stinks that you have to retake the test, but look at it this way, you take it and pass then it is behind you forever and you will never have to think...

  6. Interviewed in August

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

    Good for you. It seems that it was a good thing that it took this long seeing that you have not taken your state exam yet. Now you are in the right time frame to be hired and be able to take your...

  7. Cna / hospital response

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

    getting a CNA hospital job can be fairly difficult sometimes. They want experianced CNAs or CNAs that are in nursing school. There also are usually many people that apply for a single posting. I'd...

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

    I would not specifically say you are a new grad on your resume. They can look at the date on your certificate and see that. And see there is no places that you have worked at yet when putting in your...

  10. New CNA job isn't working out. How to build a resume going forward?

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

    Well I see neither job being out of the ordinary or being bad places to work. CNA work is hard no matter where you work. I think what it boils down to is where you felt the most comfortable working,...

  11. Failed the first time in the skills test

    mvm2 replied to MerryMary67's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd talk to your teacher about it. It might be a possibility being I feel it could be a ligitament reason to be able to take the test over. But I'd do what your teachers says is the best way to go...

  12. Failed the first time in the skills test

    mvm2 replied to MerryMary67's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think between you and your teacher your doing all you can. Are you challenging the resullts of the test as well as reporting her. I hope she looses that job. Poor CNA students are beyond scared and...

  16. Challenaging the FLorida CNA examine

    mvm2 replied to Victoria.o's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  18. How can I fix my mistake of doing drugs while trying to get into a CNA program?

    mvm2 replied to unknowngenius10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd say wait another month or two. If there is a new class every month then be on the safe side and wait till Nov. or Dec. classes. As quickly as weeks go by I don't believe waiting one month will...

  19. I am soo confused

    mvm2 replied to farangel77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well the money doesn't seem to be good no matter where you work as a CNA. And if it is the money that is the biggest factor don't look into home care. I know that many CNAs that work in LTC make more...

  20. I am soo confused

    mvm2 replied to farangel77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being as you have been working in LTC have you thought of a hospital position, or if it just a change you need what about looking into rehab, or hospice. There is Home Care to, but it wouldn't be seen...

  21. I am soo confused

    mvm2 replied to farangel77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Also I was thinking that if it is a CNA job that you want I would not be so fast in thinking that it is not a good idea to have some time in a LTC on your resume. Because for instance if you ever...

  22. I am soo confused

    mvm2 replied to farangel77's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Some Dr. offices might take a CNA and train them on the job with the things that CNA class does not teach you. But I would think that most Dr. offices rather have a MA since that is what they went to...

  23. 2 months as CNA/PCT in hospital, still struggling

    mvm2 replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    All I can say is stay focused and think about only one or two steps ahead of what you are doing at that moment, and like the previous poster said write it down if it helps If you are trying to...

  24. Long shift then class?

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

    Then you start to think are these people putting their patients at risk, and when will you hear of the day that these tired people make a huge mistake that harmed a person all because they are trying...

  25. 2 months as CNA/PCT in hospital, still struggling

    mvm2 replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    New pct, new CNAs, I think there will always be a learning curve that we go through, and mistakes will happen!! Don't be so hard on yourself, because I am sure your doing the best you can, and I...
