5. Do you have CNAs in your ICU?

   Rage replied to bridgfor428's topic in MICU

   Personally I think that ANY manager that would give you the option of a NT or an RN is being ridiculous. If that were the case then I'd be very concerned about their budgets because they have to be running very tight and actually too tight. Which the...

    Rage replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Check with the local hospitals, most of the ones I have dealt with will hire you as a CNA after your first semester in a BSN program if that is your desire. But I agree with Queen, if money is the pressing issue then don't make matters worse by addin...
