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 became a certified CNA this week but I'm trying to get into a lpn program for sept 2013. I'm wondering if anyone went to this school (if so can you tell me a bit about the application process) or plan on applying this year. thanks

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

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 a...

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

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

You will soon learn "ten is nothing" most days I have 12+ and the other night I had 21. All that stuff you learnt about in class is nothing like the real world. Yes at times you will have to cut corners especially when you work morning shift imo.

I work 6-2 at a LTC facility

With 12 hour shifts does that mean you only work 3 days a week?

have you tried agencies?

I'm having a hard time finding lavender colored scrub tops..can anyone steer me in the right direction. This color is mandated by the facility. Thanks

I'm on my second week at a ltc yesterday I was assigned 6 residents which I was pleased with however after providing care for 2 I was reassigned to another floor because 2 cna called out. On the new floor I was assigned 11 more residents with 30 minu...

I went on a interview this morning and was pretty much asked if I have children and what childcare situation is. I thought these type of questions were considered illegal so it threw me off but maybe i'm wrong? Also is it pretty much mandatory that ...

IMO it doesnt matter if you are a CNA , LPN or RN working in a LTC sucks in general. The work load is just too much.

Just curious if anyone does this..thanks
