    Red Kryptonite replied to EternalFeather's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Red Kryptonite replied to Courtneyjamesw's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm glad you may have found some work, but unsupervised private duty like that doesn't count toward certification renewal, so I urge you to keep trying to find something in a facility, even just PRN....

    Red Kryptonite replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Red Kryptonite replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students
