  4. Long shift then class?

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

    I don't know. For some I think they might be able to push it if it was a morning class that went no longer the 12-1pm. But some like myself could never work 12 hours and then expect that I would be...

  8. Should high absenteeism be cause to be fired?

    mvm2 replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That is so unfair. If they want to get rid of it fine. But allow those that have earned time left be able to use it and just have it that there will be no more time earned from that point

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

    mvm2 replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To make it clear prometric is only stating that BP will not be on the skills states test, BUT I don't think that prometric is stating or promoting that knowing how to take a BP is unimportant and...

  15. How difficult is it?

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

  18. Student Nurse = CNA in Atlanta?

    mvm2 replied to K9005's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Check with Georgia's regulations, but I would think that if you do not have a CNA certificate that you need to take the states CNA test to get a certificate before being able to work as a CNA. If you...
