Today was my graduation and I am now an official certified nurses aide!!! The course was 3 months through an accredited community college course so no need to take a state exam :) I made it

I am a new CNA in the state of Connecticut. I am also looking to pursue my RN so the health care setting is where I want to be (I.e. hospital) been applying to the local hospitals left and right but getting no responses back which is very depressing ...

Agreed. Going to start looking at the local places for work. And the positions here at the hospitals are PCT (your EKG certified within the walls of the hospital) clinician assistant which is basically ER CNA and nursing assistant on the med/surg and...

Thanks all now next thing is to get everything sorted with prometrics. I am praying I can SOMEHOW land a hospital but I'm sure I'm gunna need an abundance of prayer for that lol

I am just about finished with this 3 month CNA program and I applied to the hospital where they hold our clinicals and they just emailed me saying "thanks, but no thanks" to spell it short. I mean I met all the requirements. Experience was preferred ...

I aspire to be an RN one day. Just want to gain my C.N.A. To get my foot in the door and hopefully move up the ladder in the medical world. Just hoping for some advice and or tips out there from anyone that can help. It would be greatly appreciated. ...

Would anyone out there know or have any suggestions on how I should build my new résumé to have it geared more towards nursing? I will be done with my CNA course this May and will be looking for work immediately after. I don't have much background wo...

I am nearly done with my CNA program (it's proving to be simpler than I thought thus far, we start actual clinical work next week though) I was wondering what were people's thoughts on what to do with the certification once its acquired. I live in C...

Hey guys, I'm on week 3 of my 12 week CNA program and idk if its because I'm working full time and doing this class but I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed >_

Thank you guys soo much. Really needed that. I find that I can grasp the applied concepts of the course no problem (bed making, bedpans etc.) because in lab it's pretty hands on and since there are only a few of us men in the course I find that I try...

normally you'll have a text book for lecture (the physiology part) then you'll have a work book (the anatomy part) for the lab. As far as the class itself goes, LOTS OF ENERGY DRINKS and STUDY GROUPS lol

You can do it!!! I actually just started my first day of a 12 week CNA program. Managing to pull two jobs along with it. Where there is a will there is a way :)

Agreed, just try watering down that resume a bit and I'm sure everything will work out :)

Hey turtlecat, hang in there!!! I'm no CNA yet but I hope to get through my course in the coming months to become one. I am sure you have what it takes, you just need to break through the new job jitters and you'll be great. All the best to you :)

Yikes!!! I live in CT and I'm taking my CNA course in two weeks. Hopefully once I'm finished the job markets a little better over here as well. And here's hoping that you find something great too. All the best to everyone =)

Sounds like we are all on the same path. I start my CNA course February 6th. I wish everyone the best of luck

I've been told to just work hard and try absorbing every bit of knowledge you can and pick up on the practices around you. Maybe try looking for a bridge program from CNA to LPN as well. I too am training for my CNA and ultimately look to gain my RN ...

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the feedback. Looking forward to bringing it all together when my cert. course starts in a few weeks. Proud to know there are other male CNAs out there that are knowledgeable in their career. I'm sure I'm reaching ahead...

Awesome, congrats on the job!!! I'll be attending a CNA cert. course next month. With any luck I hope to be as lucky as you =)

Thank you soo much. I've found that my local community college in the area offers a 12 week training course for a very cheap price =) starting next month. Very excited/nervous
