On the same boat as you. Attended the workshop, and this Thursday going to the test prep class it's free if yr interested. Then I will sign up that day for the exam. Excited and scared about the school. Let's keep each other updated. 😆

No idea. Went to an open house last week, and the place and people working there were helpful and honest. Studying now for the entrance exam and then I'll decide what to do if I pass it, and financial aid. Have you been to the school?

Did you fail the written or skills portion, or both? If its skills it could be nerves and you just need to practice each one more. If its written you're basically not comprehending the material being given. But yes as someone said before 3 times fail...

So I posted awhile ago, and I pretty much work through an agency at a SNF. My first day alone was rough, and while turning a one person assist resident my back was in so much pain and my shoulder just cracked (no injury to my shoulder tho). I kept wo...

Im new to this what is the labor board cailotter3. And thank you so much for your advice, I'm just clueless with stuff like this. My PT doctor said i should get workers comp, but honestly not even interested in that ( because you're right i should ...

Peachescna it's funny we both in the same situation... u live in ny? N is this a job thru an agency?

Thanks for the advice guys i appreciate it a lot. I recieved my check today it was only for the one day i worked on my own. Not for the 4 days of orientation. And .50 less than my hourly wage. Im stuck i dont know what to do, working for agencies su...

Hi all, I'm a new CNA, and currently working at a SNF, just finished training yesterday. I start my first day alone Tomorrow and need advice. During training I was told not to raise the height of the bed because it took up time (the old fashioned bed...

Thanks missing you, and everyone else. Im in so much pain right now, and dont know how I got thru today alone. It was a horrible first day and I kept trying to stay positive, but couldn't. I was told I would get a modified schedule just for the fir...

Ok. I got hired at a SNF 2 weeks ago, and Wednesday-friday is orientation from 9-5pm. What exactly happens during orientation thats 3 days long? Im just a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Usually u start off on the floor i thought, but I gu...

Good luck and congrats on landing the interview! Never been interviewed for a hospital, but if no one replies search the website for hospital interview questions. Im sure something will pop up.

I have an interview coming up this week and if im offered the position I will have a 1 year contract. The reasoning I was told was... the orientation is 3 weeks long/ 40 hours week. People who applied before left after the orientation and the facili...

Thanks for the advice guys! I ended up getting hired at the facility that paid more n isn't a contract. I start in 2 weeks, now just nervous.

Thanks Sofia! I have other interviews this week, just wanted to know the info on this.

It's for a cna job, I'm finishing up my pre-reqs for nursing at a local college. But anyways It sounded crazy when I was told that over the phone. I figured during the interview I'll ask more about it. And what penalties there are. .. cause im a ne...

That's great. Good luck on your endeavors!

I realized there's another thread about interviews, but I just need help with specific questions (I pretty much go blank]. Tomorrow I have an interview, and the questions I always have a problem with are... Tell me about yourself.. idk why but I fre...

It was much better than I thought! The DON was very friendly and that eased my anxiety a lot. Plus, I was offered the job on the spot. It's per diem for 3 months and pay is decent. However debating whether I should go with this agency I applied to, ...

Thanks so much for the advice Abnormal. Its a LTC facility. I pretty much nail the questions that are harder, but the simple ones just get me flustered. And I hate saying uhmm during an interview trying to think of an answer, makes me look uneducated...

Thanks Proton! Congrats to you too! It is a relief! And I literally was about to have an anxiety attack when I went to check if I passed. Lol then I saw I passed and was like omg I could breathe again!

So I just finished my exam an hour ago. Passed the written no problem, however skills different story... I got ROM, Feeding, and bedpan. Did good and my only mistake which is huge I think is.. I forgot to check the damn ID for EACH skill. We were ...

Thank you! yea maybe its different for your state. We had to grab the equipment ourselves and set everything up. The proctor just told us where everything was, and how to use certain things. Keep us updated. Im sure you'll be fine hun.

Took mine today, I know how you're feeling. I worried about the little things as well. All I could say is act as confident as you can be no matter how shaky and nervous you feel. And talk A LOT throughout each skill to the patient. Few students fail...

Thanks anyways. Just found out I passed!!

Some of you guys are really harsh and assuming too much, just answer the question and move on. Why assume she's a dopehead or her "friend". Some people are on prescription medications with VALID proof, which of course would show up as positive on a ...
