  3. First CNA job in homecare?

    marie4nursing replied to marie4nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well it looks like THAT homecare job didn't work out. I have the worst luck trying to get a CNA job. Oh well back to the drawing board.... I was trying to avoid this, but maybe I should apply where I...

  5. White scrubs?

    marie4nursing replied to 5ummer's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. Hard Time Finding a Job (PCT/CNA)

    marie4nursing replied to corrin_pp's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I am in the same boat. I am a new state approved CNA and can't find a job, except in Home Health Care--which I can't do because I don't want to drive my car into ground. Many home health agencies will...

  12. Need some help with NC test!
