  1. Shasta College Waitlist

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in California Nursing

    So what has the waitlist been like? I am going to apply the next application period but hope to find another competitive school to go to before my wait is up! How many years does it take once...

  2. PolyHealthcare Legit or Scam?

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    This college claims to be offering Excelsior degrees all online. www.polyhealthcare.com Does the CNA to LPN program for $3000 seem like a scam? Or does it seem like the online portion is the lecture...

  3. Any Spring or Summer 2013 programs still taking applications.

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in California Nursing

    So where I live there is a waitlist of about three years to start the ADN program. I would like to apply to any Cal States that have programs that start in Summer 2013 (so I dont have to break my...

  4. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have had the worst day ever and just need to vent. I am a single mom and have no family near me. I use a county subsidy to pay for daycare. I was finally offered a CNA job but the shift is not when...

  5. Have YOU trained new CNAs at your facility?

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've noticed most of the threads about orientation and training were written from the prespective of the new hire. I am starting my orientation this weekend and would like to know what to expect, how...

  6. CNA Instuctor wants students to bath each other before real clinicals

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

    I can see how you would have an issue with the instructor requiring you to take everything off. My point was that no one in my class had any problems giving partial bed baths because even though we...

  7. CNA Instuctor wants students to bath each other before real clinicals

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

    I'm sorry but could you please replace the word 'that' with what you intend to say. I get easily confused sometimes. No LPN or RN (I'm not sure which your instructor is) would risk loosing their...

  8. Rant: I already hate my job

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

    *hug* hang in there. If it makes you feel any better I wish I had your job or any CNA job, no matter how miserable the

  9. If I want to become a Dialysis Technician do I need to get my CNA Cert?

    SlaveHeart replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have applied to dialysis tech jobs with a CNA cert and they never call me for an interview. They want someone who has completed a hemodialysis tech certification or at the very least phlebotomy......

  10. CNA + medical assisant

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

    Thanks for the advice TheCommuter! I have noticed there are just about as many MA jobs here as there are CNA jobs (which is not many for both) and they pay between 12-14 an hour instead of 9-10 an...

  11. CNA Instuctor wants students to bath each other before real clinicals

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

    In my CNA class we gave each other partial bed baths. We were told to wear tank tops and boxer like shorts so that our partners could practice undressing the robe and dressing with a button up shirt...

  12. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

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

    Yeah I'm signed up with a HHA and so far they have not had any openings other than overnights which they call and offer me even though I specified I'm only available from 7am to

  13. Anyone from a different state moving to CA for private nursing school?

    SlaveHeart replied to rasberee's topic in California Nursing

    Did either of you go to the IOT in Redding? I'm pondering applying but I'm not sure if I could get enough financial aid. It's either that or wait three more years for the local ADN program. Please...

  14. CNA + medical assisant

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

    I am having trouble finding a CNA job during a day shift when my kids are in daycare. I would qualify for a WIA grant to cover tuition and supplies for a semester long MA program at the community...

  15. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

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

    She is a licensed child care provider, she was recommended by the county office of education! None of the other referrals are able to take my kids by tomorrow night. I'm just glad that she realized...

  16. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

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

    Thanks for the kind words! When my kids were napping my dog got an earful. The worst part is I drank a whole pot of chai tea before leaving so I'm going to be up till ten anyways. There are three in...

  17. I think I got fired before I even got to start my new job.

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

    Thank you for your optimism! I doubt I will find alternative childcare because of my location. Would it be too out of line to ask if they have any first shift positions? When I interviewed I told them...

  18. Role of CNA in addictions nursing?

    SlaveHeart posted a topic in Addictions

    Hi, I'm not a nurse but am not sure where else to ask this. I have applied for a part time shift at a rehab center. I thought I was applying to a rehabilitation center like a step up from acute care,...

  19. If i become a CNA before nursing school where does it put me?

    SlaveHeart replied to Agreen911's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Your question is not clear to me. Some nursing programs require you to be a CNA to apply, some award extra points for the certificate. You do not get out of any classes just for being a CNA. A lot of...

  20. What shoes are you getting for clinicals?

    SlaveHeart replied to SelenaS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair of New Balance 844 walking shoes and a pair of New Balance 495 walking shoes. I might be buying a pair of used Danskos from a retired nurse. I'm wondering do they loose their ability to...

  21. Nursing Scrubs: The Material Makes A Difference

    SlaveHeart replied to TheCommuter's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Carhartt scrubs! I can dig that! I am just a CNA and am going to be starting my first job this weekend, yay. The facility provides us with black scrubs that are a polyester blend. I hope it breaths...

  22. Have YOU trained new CNAs at your facility?

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

    I really like your idea of multitasking ADL's I think I will need to utilize that in order to be efficient with time management. I start tomorrow night and I am sooo nervous! I've been reading...

  23. Job Corps CNA Program

    SlaveHeart replied to jcarpio26's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    At the worst they will just have you do the CNA training over again then you could do the next LPN training that they offer. Hopefully you can get in this time around. Maybe you could ask if you could...

  24. Job Corps CNA Program

    SlaveHeart replied to jcarpio26's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First of all I think this Job Corps thing is awesome and I wish I had known about it when I was a rebellious teenager! Kay- Call them and ask! The worst that could happen is they say no and you get...

  25. I want to become a nurse so BAD and to get accepted into a program BUT

    SlaveHeart replied to stefonee356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools only look at your prereq gpa. They say you must have a minimum of 3.0 but it's just in the pre reqs and not all of your classes! Just check with each school in your area to see the...
