    Is becoming a CNA worth the money?

    mindofmidwifery replied to HanHolle03's topic in General Students

    If it's something you really want to do it, it's invaluable. If you can get a job locally at 16 as a CNA, I say go for it. Have you looked into whether any nursing homes offer it for free if you work...

    I'm leaving my high paying CNA job for a lower rate job working as a Therapy aide???

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

    Being a CNA is a part of the nursing field. You (and I) are considered an unskilled worker but a part of the nursing staff. Good for you for knowing where you want to go from

    Lifespan Psych - an observation

    mindofmidwifery replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing colleges

    mindofmidwifery replied to Bcincykid's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My boyfriend's sister said the same thing, that they said they were accredited. Yeah, big waste of money. If I were you I would just go to a community college. The community colleges in Ohio no longer...

    Nursing colleges

    mindofmidwifery replied to Bcincykid's topic in Ohio Nursing

    From what I've heard, Hondros is a horrible school to go to. There's a reason why they don't have a wait list. The only national accreditation they have is the BSN degree, not LPN or RN. They're very...

    Burn Technician vs Nursing Assistant in Mother Baby Unit

    mindofmidwifery replied to dreamerachiever's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    As a CNA, the burn unit would benefit you more so than mother/infant. I have talked to nurses that used to be PCAs on the mother infant floor and they said it was pretty breezy, not too much...

    How to protect a CNA's back

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