Alpha Medical

I was blessed to learn to do taxes this year and was given a temporary position for a few months. While I working I chose to save up money to take a class for Certified Nursing Assistant, which would lead me to ultimate goal of being a nursing. Every since I can remember I've had a passion for the elderly, and my mother wanted to go into nursing but as an immature young adult I didn't listen (but boy I wish I did).

As soon as tax season started to wind down I being my search for a CNA school to attend. Alpha Medical seemed to be the place for at the time it was cheaper than other schools and close to home. The class is a month long and I was right on track to start work in June. From the start I had issues with this school, the first week the guy who I thought was the finical aid person was my teacher. He explained to me that he is certified by the state to teach the class. I understood that and I didn't mind being the only person in my class. We bumped heads over what was in the book and what he telling me as my teacher. I explained to him that he needed to be more professional and let me get my opinion across. At the end of each there was a test that was suppose to be given to review what we learned for the week. The first week no test was given because all 5 of their printers were down. SMH

The second week I had a new teacher who was very nice a retired RN from Jamaica. She was a better teacher but she couldn't see and she keep nodding off but I finally got a new classmate. Thursday came around and I finally had a test which was a little hard but I don't know my grade because until this day I have yet to recieve my test back. The owner keep saying how he was being audited by the IRS and he didn't have time to grade my test. So I told him and his wife I was very disappointed in the way they handled business and that I would like my test before the class ended.

Week three was more les the same my classmate missed two lasses so I was stuck with the reading and Q & A. I had another test and still no grades and I was getting pissed. One thing I am nice but whn I am pissed get the fuck out of my way. So once again I addressed my displeasure in the school and told them I had never missed a day and I paid for the class and everything should be given to me. These mofos had the nerve to get an attitude with me. They were trying to shut my down but I wouldn't roll over. For every statement they had I had a comeback. I told them I wouldn't recommend this school this anybody that I know and I should have went to a better school.

Week four clinical week I was all excited for this week because we got to go into the nursing homes. On Monday I showed up with my scrubs on and I was ready to go but we did clinicals at the office the bedmaking and interacting with each other practicing certain skills on each other. The last two days were suppose to be spent at the nursing home, so once I show up scrubs ready to go. None of my classmates showed and we keep waiting and waiting so I had a wasted day because nothing was done. Ugh. So the next day everyone showed up and went on our merry way and I was happy to be there among these older people with their funny stories. We did more skills and included patients, when I get nervous I shake SMH I am not sure why but I do.

After the clinicals were over my next question was when is the test? The owner told it was on May 30th 3 weeks away and I was like ok I can hang until then. The Friday before my test date something told me to call and confirm that Tuesday was a go. I recieve word that the test will be rescheduled because the state examiner quit. Ok that I understood because it is out of everyone's control, but I was pissed because nobody called and told me. So I jumped in my car and drove over there and gave them another peace of my mind. I said once again how unprofessional they were. My new test date is in July and in the meantime every job interview I've heard no response. :( but I remain hopeful. God knows my heart. Until next time stay great :)

New changes

I wanted to keep my blog, but I wasn't sure of what I wanted to write about so I decided to write about my journey back into the workforce. After working at a job for eight years I was laid off ( and it partially because of my mouth) but eh...The road back will be a long struggle but I determine to go for mines. I hope you decide to follow me on my personal quest for a better life. You will still see music reviews from time to time like Beyonce's 4 coming on June 28.....
