It's not difficult at all. It's mainly common sense more than anything. You can look up sample tests online from your state usually. The exam consists of a written test and a skills test. Like I said, it's not difficult at all.

Anywhere from 9.00 to 14.00...just depends on the facility and the amount of experience you have. Hospitals pay more than most LTC facilities usually.
