  1. Please Help...Resume and Cover Letter Advice

    esand replied to NurseRose84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just started applying for jobs the other day when I got my state test results, and I haven't heard a single thing, either. I'm kind of nervous that nobody wants me, but I can't tell if I'm just...

  2. What type of drug tests do CNAs get?

    esand posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I ask because I was at a New Years Eve party last night and was around a few people who were smoking a lot, and most likely inhaled a lot of smoke just through secondhand. I'm not a pot smoker myself,...

  3. What type of drug tests do CNAs get?

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

    Thanks so much for the awesome answers! I'm not worried now, since I've researched everywhere and learned that I can't fail from secondhand. You're all

  4. Took my state test today...

    esand posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey, guys! I haven't posted in a long while. I graduated from my course without failing a single test and got a 95% on my final. Clinicals were great, too! For my skills test, I got hand washing, Peri...

  5. Took my state test today...

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

    Since I took my paper test through hdmaster (not sure if you do) I just went to their website (http://www.hdmaster.com) and selected my state and called the number in the bottom right corner. There's...

  6. Applying to hospital w/ psych ward history

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

    There's no way that your past stay there and the reasons for it would keep them from hiring you, I also doubt that they would even remember that. Not in a bad way, but just remember that they get so...

  7. I finally got my hospital job!

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

    So, so happy for you! It's nice to finally get what you've wanted, isn't it? I wish you

  8. Took my state test today...

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

    I just called and requested my results and found out that I PASSED BOTH PORTIONS AND AM NOW ON THE REGISTRY. I'm sure you will do

  9. Took my state test today...

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

    Up to 5 business days, unfortunately. Still waiting, and it's killing me! My test was 79 questions, so I know that I can miss up to 15 and still pass with an 80, I'm just hoping that I picked the...

  10. Fission mailed - portrait of a failure

    esand replied to failedcna2012's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I feel for you majorly. And to the person being rude about the poll, it's obviously a

  11. I am appalled.

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

    I prefer mapquest. I don't have a printer, though, so I wrote down directions. Suffice to say, it wasn't enough.

  12. I am appalled.

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

    In my position, I really didn't have a choice but to walk in and ask these people because we drove 40 minutes and the place I was trying to find was going to close. Thanks for responses!

  13. I am appalled.

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

    Thanks, I think. Guess I'll learn more of the wackiness when I start my first job,

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

    Very eye-opening post, duskeyjewel! A nice dose of reality. You're so correct, I shouldn't even be worried about what they're thinking. I've located a school that specializes in CNA classes that's got...

  15. Body modifications and elderly people.

    esand posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello again! I was thinking today about how my job as a CNA will be once I complete my class, and it suddenly dawned on me: I haven't even asked about tattoos. I have a quote tattooed on my right arm...

  16. Body modifications and elderly people.

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

    Oh man, such good advice from all of you! I'm not sure yet how I'll approach it, but I guess I'll come up with a way to incorporate an explanation for my tats in future interviews. I'd never be the...

  17. Body modifications and elderly people.

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

    Thanks so much for the answers, guys! I have a few friends who are CNAs and I didn't even think about the fact that they have more tattoos than me! Lol :) Guess I'll cover up and bring it up in future...

  18. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    esand replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you compare the salaries/experience on the first page with the salary/experience on the last page, it's almost not even right. Being a CNA must have been hard in '04,

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

    Wow, you're all awesome. Love this community all ready, by the way. Last CNA board I was on wasn't so friendly.

  20. Frustrated.

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

    You're right! Thank you so much. :) I was afraid that if they weren't accredited, I wouldn't be able to find a job. A school that I was previously trying to go to said that if the school wasn't...

  21. How hard is it to get a job w no experience?

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

    I've had quite a few friends find a job right out of graduation. Don't give up hope, just keep

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

    Thank you so much for the great responses. They were very helpful. :) If anybody can answer this last question for me, it'd be great: What if the school I'm wanting to go to lost their BBB...
