  1. Just accepted into LVN program that starts next Monday!

    SlaveHeart replied to SlaveHeart's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was staying at my parents and moved to my own place a month ago. I moved here when the director told me there was no chance of getting in being so far down the waitlist. If I had not called and was...

  2. Should I keep looking for a CNA job or go to LVN school?

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

    Thanks everyone! I forgot to take my kids off the daycare waitlist when I was told last month I would not get in so that should be easy enought to arrange for Monday. I need to find a cheap apartment...

  4. Home Health Question Help ASAP

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So one of the ads I replied to on craigslist for home health care is an actual person not an agency. Hge is looking for someone to monitor showers (ie call 911 if he falls), do difficult house work...

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

    Okay, I thought I made it sound less creepy, lol. I think I will try to meet him sometime during the day when my kids are in daycare first. He said that it would be okay to bring my kids with me for...

  6. Home Health Question Help ASAP

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

    I would assume a quadriplegic would have insurance that would cover massages right? Here is the ad: Massage & Health

  7. How much do CNA's make these days and is the pay worth the workload?

    SlaveHeart replied to Lala27poodles's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was offered $11 per hour but not until I get reciprocity and have certification in sate:( so I guess starting wage for a non experienced CNA in Cali is 11 per hour but nothing for me while I wait...

  8. Best facility to work in as a CNA

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

    Are you actually employed as a CNA or as a caregiver? I am trying to find a job as a CNA right now but keep only finding ones for 'caregivers' with roles similar to what you are describing. But yeah,...

  9. Is it possible for a CNA to both work and go to school full time?

    SlaveHeart replied to Yort781's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it is possible to work full time while doing pre requisite course work though! I worked full time one year and par time the next and I am a single mom. Right now I'm taking time off of school...

  10. Transportation woes for nursing students

    SlaveHeart replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    The first thing I am buying once I graduate nursing school is a bribe to find a job as a new grad! Then I'm buying off my debt: student loans, evictions, tickets for a car I owned but never drove...

  11. What time does AM shift start?

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay I had an interview today and got offered the job! However the shift started at 6 am and I can not work till 6:45 or 7 am. Do all LTC shifts start at 6 am? I was really hoping to find a 7-3...

    I am hoping to volunteer at the local Mercy Hospital! Does anyone have any experience volunteering? I am trying to decided between volunteering in the ED or the mom/baby unit. In the ED volunteers...

  13. GPA killing grades from previous college. Submit the transcript. yes/no?

    SlaveHeart replied to Dannyjdr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One of the schools I applied to this fall had an application for the school and you sent your transcripts to the school and another application with another set of transcripts for prerequisite work...

  14. LTC wont' hire me!

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

    Thanks! All of the facilities are saying I have to wait for my CA reciprocity which might take three months! When I called and initially filled out the applications I was told it was okay and to go...

  15. LTC wont' hire me!

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

    So I had orientation with Interim today and it was really disapointing. They said they have no shifts for me but I am hired!?!? So basically I am still unemployed:( I'm getting so discouraged I think...

  16. Medical Terminology Course before A&P??

    SlaveHeart replied to xamirot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It won't prepare you much but at the same time it can't hurt! Most of the med term that was taught in my A&P class was condensed in the first two weeks then after that it was all new material!...

  17. Advice please?

    SlaveHeart replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would have to check with the nursing program at your particular school. At some schools you are required to be a CNA before you apply. Some schools base admissions on various factors like work...

  18. What are my chances??

    SlaveHeart replied to acceptmealready's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have had to turn down acceptance letters to the three schools I was accepted into: a BSN program and two community colleges. So it is possible for an alternate to make it in. It's weird I kind of...

  19. What specialty are you considering?

    SlaveHeart replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I aspire to work in emergency medicine and possibly become a flight nurse! Or at least that is what I think I want to do but I have not started nursing school so it is hard to say until I get my feet...

  20. Should I take CNA Classes in High School?

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

    Yes! The school I did my CNA training at had a program where high school seniors could get high school credit. There were two girls in my class who were in high school and I was really impressed by...

  21. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in a town where there are three nursing schools but two are private schools that cost 30k plus a year and one is a community college with a three year waitlist! There are three community...

  22. 1st or 2nd shifts?

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

    I would go for the 3-11 shift then! It is what you are familiar with, and possibly even have experience with sundowning, plus it is around when you will be resetting your reticular activating system...

  23. CNA frustrated with co-workers!!!

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

    Speaking of facility raitings. Isn't there a site that has all the LTC's ranked and listed? I'm hoping to find it to look through and see if there are any facilities I haven't applied to, lol. Thanks...

  24. CNA verses Certified Caregiver

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

    I think if you take the caregiver class you will be a caregiver and a NAR until you complete your NAC class. Then you will be a CNA and a caregiver. How did you become a NAR? If the class was for...

  25. Got accepted into CNA program!

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

    Congratulations! I think most clinical sites are eager to hire their new grads because they have basically had orientation. I totally regret not working for mine right after finishing my CNA
