  1. Caregiver

    MechelleMyBell posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't sure where to post this. I hope someone can help me. I am a Certified Medical Assistant and can't find a job so I took a position as a caregiver through an agency. i do know a little bit...

  2. I was forced to join nursing and hate it

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

    Oooh I see. Well, I'm a parent of a 22 and 17 year old. And I did try and get my kids into nursing or something similar, I thought it would be good for them, but I could see their heart just wasn't...

  3. I was forced to join nursing and hate it

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

    I'm curious how someone or something can force you to go to nursing school then become a nurse? Maybe you just need to change places of

  4. <--Which route-->

    MechelleMyBell replied to Jess.blessed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My mom is in assisted living and the CNAs that work there have it pretty easy. Comparing them to a long term care facility bc the ppl in assisted living can get around and are not bed bound. The CNAs...

  5. Are there not any MAs on here?

    MechelleMyBell posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I haven't seen many topics about MAs. I had a couple questions about the program. I'm not sure if the program I am starting on Monday goes over EKGs? Isn't this on the NHA exam? I am wondering if all...

  6. transfer licensure to a different state

    MechelleMyBell replied to ChristiHamm8's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't think they transfer. I think you have to be licensed in the state where you work. So to work in Florida you have to test in Floria. To work in Georgia you have to test in Georgia. This is the...

  7. Is it worth it, starting NA program to advance

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

    I just want to add.... most ppl don't know how back breaking work it is to be a CNA. That's one reason I stopped doing it. I'm 47 and not a big person and my back just couldn't handle it. Going to...

  8. Anyone else totally burnt out?

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

    Sounds to me like you need to leave. Now before you hurt someone or your self. If you have that attitude (and I'm not saying it's not justified) then it's time for you to leave gracefully before...

  9. First day of CNA Orientation- what to expect???

    MechelleMyBell replied to xxCourt96xx's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi idk about orientation but just want to say that those other CNAs are just ppl who use to be in ur same situation. We are all just ppl on the same level so don't be intimidated. If ppl shun you,...

  10. Am I too old to change career?

    MechelleMyBell replied to mmaku2020's topic in General Nursing

    I really wish ppl on here would stop giving bad advice and stop saying you won't be able to find a nursing job or the market is saturated. Unless they live all over the world they have no idea what...

  11. School 9 months for a 16,000 piece of paper.

    MechelleMyBell replied to Jess.blessed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    One more thing I want to mention. The best jobs are never advertised. I've gotten more interviews by mailing my resume out to the hiring person then I ever did trying to compete with 100 other ppl on...

  12. School 9 months for a 16,000 piece of paper.

    MechelleMyBell replied to Jess.blessed's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where do you live? I see these comments a lot about not being able to find medical assistant jobs. I'm starting the program next week bc that's all I see on the job boards! I guess it depends on your...

  13. Just started working. Any advice on dealing with emotional stress?

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

    The best advice I can give you is that you have to talk about it. I'm the same way and don't like talking about things or bothering ppl with my problems or emotions when everyone has their own stuff...

  14. Am I too old to change career?

    MechelleMyBell replied to mmaku2020's topic in General Nursing

    There is a HUGE shortage of nurses where I live, so it depends on your
