  13. The reality is home health care is where the jobs are.

    mvm2 replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Home Health

    Maybe the nursing Jobs in Home Health are different then the aides, but My Home Health Agency is begging for Aides and you don't even have to have a CNA licence. They do provide CNA classes as well...

  18. Ex Patient's Mom Badmouthing Me

    mvm2 replied to TiggerFreak's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mvm2 replied to TiggerFreak's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

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

    you can start by taking your CNA classes, and then you can get a job in a LTC or even Home Care. There is a great range I think of what CNA classes cost depending where you are. I have heard that...
