I took my cna class at the bulkan educational institute on court street in brooklyn. Class with book was about 750.

I only had about 2 months LTC experience but they also hired 2-3 others that had NO healthcare experience at all.

When I worked in LTC the nurses did all v/s on morning shift but on the night shift they asked the aides to do it. Now I work in hospital the nurses do BP and cna's are responsible for TPR.

I just got hired in a NYC hospital at the rate of $17/hr for night shift which is awesome since I was making $8/hr at a LTC.

I just got hired at a hospital and night shift is 11:55pm-8:10am...weird

Thanks everyone I was hoping for 12 hour shifts but this one does 8 still waiting to find out what unit I will be on

Thanks

At the LTC I had only 2 days orientation with zero experience I just got hired at a hospital and training is 2 weeks

I got my job my sil will help out with childcare until I hire a sitter.

Update I was told to expect call from HR so I guess thats a good sign

I applied for a hospital job online sunday night monday morning I was called in for an interview with 2 hours notice. I went totally unprepared and was late for interview. At the time they said they didnt know shift, hours, days etc.. About 30 mins ago I received a call and was offered the position however I declined because it is night shift and I have a small child and my husband doesnt get home until 11:30pm. Anyway instantly after hanging up the phone I regretted saying no and called back asap to accept the offer. Honestly if they say yes I have no clue what i'm going to do about childcare but getting my foot in the door is a big deal. Now I'm here waiting for the director to decide if she still wants me. Stressful all around the odds were already against me and I just made it worse.

Go to an agency to gain experience but be prepared to start with low salary

No that would be lying

I dont think you can give the actual shot just remind the patient to do it

Some of you have it good where I work we have to get residents up and out of bed by 9am
