   cjane replied to blackIrish's topic in Texas

   :welcome: The best advice I can give you is stay away from the east and west sides of town. You might want to look at the city website and maybe you can get some info there. If there is a reference to the medical center area, that is where the majori...

   When I got my CNA, which was about 12 years ago we had to work at a nursing home for a week and that was enough for me. Don't get me wrong but you do all the dirty work. My aunt, who is a RN said she wouldn't wish it one anybody . It takes a very sp...

    Has anybody gone through the Baptist Nursing School? Is it expensive? I have called them but at this time they don't have the price of the program. Also, is the HOBET test hard. I am very nervous about taking the test and failing it.
