2. RNA

   auscultate replied to Nursing24/7's topic in CNA/MA

   No problem. Having your CNA helps a lot. Being interested in rehab you'll end up a lot of places. I've worked in a orthopedics office where I first met the patient to have surgery, then I volunteered in an OR to see said surgery performed, then wo...

3. Advice on Career move

   auscultate replied to CPCTColeman's topic in Technicians

   Working on the administrative side is great, and working at a large hospital system is even better. If you want to work in a hospital try to intern there. Contact volunteer services (as they also handle students/interns/volunteers) and start workin...

   auscultate replied to Squad51KMG365's topic in CNA/MA

   Not to be mean or anything but you should look into getting away from the bedside ASAP if you become a CNA. You need to take care of your body, and your back if you plan on working past 65. Why dont you go back to be being a pharmacy tech? They en...

7. Getting initial CNA license issues

   auscultate replied to Blue555's topic in CNA/MA

   If I was you I'd call your state department of human services to ask that question. With it being so long ago I cant imagine that they would hold it against you. Especially since you have not bee in trouble since.

12. What to do now?
