    I'm sorry its been so hard to find a CNA class. Yeah I'm not sure if this is something out dated or not. Good question...I had happened to be able to take my class through my home health agency 3...
  11. I don't think it will hurt you. Having any job as a new grad is better then no job at all. You. Will.get what you need on your resume... work experience and if it is PEDs you are intressted in...
  12. New Policy

    I'd not jump to conclusions that they are going to be firing people. It might be that they just are wanting this in their employees files. Kind of like we have to sign HIPAA papers every year to have...
  13. Should I have charted different?

    Lack of response from MD does not seem appropriate. He did respond to you...just not in the way you wanted him to. Like the others said report the times you contacted MD and write out what his orders...

  19. Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

    This type of thing can happen in any job. My mother worked in a retirement home in the housekeeping department for over 20 years and only got $0.05-$0.10 raises her whole time there. Yet through the...
  20. CNA Jobs

    Many times yes it only takes a week or two usually to get it. I am sure you could start the job hunt and tell them you just past your CNA
  21. Really random question

    Yes I agree i would stay clear away from applying to places you want to work at in the future. Wait till after your trip and then look for a full time job at the places you want to stay
  22. Getting Frustrated

    No no a CNA is far far far from a nurse. Only RNs LPNs can be a nurse. Certified nursing ASSISTANT is our job title. Never call yourself a nurse until you graduate nursing school. There can be legal...
