Thanks, I'm nervous and excited at the same time. I hope I can manage my time and deal with a hurt foot. I have a heal spur and inflammation in my foot. He's talking about surgery. School comes first though.

I'm a Med Tech/Resident Assistant in an assisted living home that also has a locked memory care unit. My situation is a bit unique. I've been a CNA for 15 years but my certification went inactive when I stayed home with my children for 2 years. So when my ex and I separated I had to go to work somewhere that would hire me immediately without certification. Due to this I only make $8.50 an hour on the floor, $9 an hour on the cart. I am retaking my test TOMORROW (;) YAY!) to reinstate my cert. I'll then be able to go back to work at one of my previous employers (11.00 an hour in LTC or 12.00 in the hospital). My current job has no shift differentials. I work 7a-3p. I'm starting RN prerequisites next month.

Oh, almost forgot. I'm in Georgia.
