What do you mean you can't offer employment?!?!?!

So now I have my paperwork for my certified medication aide license paid for and given to DHHS and waiting on them to process it for my license number. Because the state (I'm in Nebraska) allows me to work for up to 60 days while it processes I've started applying for jobs. I just got an email chain for a place I know that is short staffed and was hiring for a PRN CMA and it ended with them saying because they are an LTC they require their CMA to have their CNA. But I told them I'm going for my CNA Monday at my local community college. But how I'm sitting here saying what does med aide have to do with not having my CNA. Like seriously I did all the work, I got a 4.00 gpa for my class, passed the state exam with an 85 (you only needed a 72 to pass), never failed a single skills test or lab, passed my competency test in one try.. and your telling that's still not enough?!?!?!

So I just finished up college as a medication aide in Nebraska and getting ready to do my state exam. I'm wondering what I should carry with me in a backpack and will probably use daily. I know that I can't have patients meds or anything like that in my bag but personal items such as extra scrubs and what not are my thoughts. Can you tell me what would be good to have? Would it be a good idea to bring my laptop as well for charting?
