  15. Oh my Goodness! Question about first day

    jb2u replied to Freezing_in_Colorado's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1) No, you should receive a proper orientation. As a cna, I'd say 2-4 wks, at least. Being a cna is a HUGE responsibility, and proper training is a requirement. I would suggest you talk to the person...

    jb2u replied to redwolf's topic in MICU, SICU
