Hello everyone, I applied for a position at a major teaching hospital back in August. I never got a call back but my application status changed from "received" to "currently under consideration". After a month past I pretty much let it go after not h...

Thanks so much :) I'm very excited. General orientation for me starts next week. Wishing you luck on your first shift tomorrow! Does your hospital system do color coded scrubs?

For anyone who cares just wanted to update and say I got the job!!!!! I start November 20th!!!!

Minor update today: I called HR and explained I wanted to check the status of the position/find out if I was still being considered. I was put through to the recruiter handling this section of the hosptial candidates. She didn't answer so I left her...

Thank you so much for your response. I didn't send a thank you (ugh I feel like a fool for not doing so). I will do as you suggest and wait a week then follow up. It's just so nerve wrecking having to wait lol.

Hello All! I currently work as a Nurse Tech in a hospital. I work nights, but looking to branch out elsewhere to help supplement my income. I was wondering if a nurse tech could be hired as a medical assistant? I came across an ad for a medical assis...

Yes, this was my first time in a health care setting. It took me about a month to acclimate to the job and find my groove. Best part is everyone is very friendly+ patient and were/are willing to lend a helping hand. They understood that this was my f...

I currently work as a tech in a hospital. Though my job has it's ups and downs I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoy it. I work night shift 12hrs. My title is a tech level III which allows me to draw blood, obtain urinalysis, blood sugar, INR reading...

While doing the skills exam on test day I said all the steps out loud as I did them. That helped me to remember all the steps

Congrats on your interview. I searched online for potential interview questions as well. GL on the position. I hope you get it

I got my certification in late March of this year. I accepted my a job offer mid April. Someone will call. Just keep putting in your apps, and follow up with some phone calls. GL on your search

Each level you reach you obtain the ability to do new skills which is great. Level ones do basic ADL's, level two can do EKG's, blood sugars, hemoccult testing, bladder scans. Level three in addition can do venipuncture. Level four is what they consi...

Where I work, there are 4 levels of CNA's. Your pay gets increased by 4% after reaching a new level. I'm currently in stage one though. Ultimately though, it'll depend on where you work

I'm in VA, also a new CNA (received my certification in March as well). What part of VA do you live? I put in numerous apps before I finally landed my hospital job. Stay persistent, try to follow up on apps you've placed. GL on your search

I had my drug screen done during pre-employment health screening

What helped me was talking through the steps as I did them. That helped me to not miss critical steps. If you do make any errors, be sure to tell the prompter the correction. You have to make sure to do the correction before you state your skill is c...

Sure, I don't mind taking a look at your resume. I know how frustrating the search can be.

Hello everyone, I'm a new CNA. I had a job interview 4/7. It went extremely well, the interviewer was really impressed (her words). Near the end of the interview the recruiter informs me that new staff orientation would be conducted on 4/14. She aske...

Thank you both :) im happy to report, I JUST got a call from the HR rep about 20 minutes ago with them offering me the position! Turns out that the leadership heading up orientation had been out with an unexpected situation. They pushed everything b...

Thank you for the reply and advice. This was my first interview post graduation and certification. I'm still learning the ropes of the do's & don'ts. I just didn't want to come off as being a pest. I'm still actively looking elsewhere in the mids...
