    mvm2 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't understand this comment. First you tell her not to jump to conclusions (which I totally agreed with you) then now you are telling her to go to the BON. What made you change your

  3. Fake nursing/CNA licenses or what?

    mvm2 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

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

  9. Do you get a lot of call ins

    mvm2 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mvm2 replied to CNAkat31's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

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

  16. When is a good time to start applying for CNA Jobs?

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

  17. Calling all ED Techs...

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

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

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