  6. If it is for an agency then I'd say yes if you don't have commitments like having children then there are always shifts that can be found for 3rd shifters.. But if it is more like private care I'd...
  7. yay! Hope you find that job soon. Good Luck! Remember the areas that you might not think about as well. Do you have a Vetrains Hospital/Home. That is where I had my clinicals and it was a...
  8. Over all unless you know someone in the hospital that you are appling for that can put in a good word for you it can be very difficult to come off the street and get those CNA/Tech jobs at hospitals....

  11. Interesting convo with a former coworker...

    Also she might have 25 patients, but maybe she does not have a heavy load of meds to pass. It could be possible that a few of those patients may not have any meds to take, or maybe like nascar and...

    I guess I am not sure if you would have all the qualifications that are needed to work in a dr. office or not, but I have heard that finding a MA job can be difficult. Matter of fact I have heard a...
  14. I don't know. If you are willing to work the holidays, and there are job postings out there right now why wait? You might miss a few great opertunities for some jobs if you wait for a month and a...
  15. I am sorry to hear this. I hope that you will be able to find work soon, and I would just be truthful that the reason you had so many missing days was bad luck being sick, and that it is not...

  18. It wasn't to bad at all. We had a book that we went through, and would have to read up on a chapter or two. Have a short quiz, and then talk more indepth on the subject, and of course got ready to...
  19. This is so sad to heaqr this coming from a RN. Many people with dementia can comunicate with you. It is important for them to keep trying, and you to keep trying. Otherwise yes they will loose the...
  20. Oh How I have had rainbow sunglasses on for this year and ahalf of being a CNA/AIDE for Home Care. I have been loving it, and have not wanted to do anything else. Feeling everyday you make a...
  21. you are so right.I have learned the hard way. I am so tenderhearted it gets me into trouble. In this instance I basically was doing what I was suppose to by the company's standards, but the family...
  22. CNAs in LTAC?

    Are there CNAs that work in LTAC or since it is so skilled are there only nurses that work in these facilities? Since there are so many sick people on vents extra, do the CNAs have to have special...
