   I feel your pain! I worked as a CNA right out of high-school with the intentions of becoming a nurse. I thought "good experience and good hands on work".. it was great experience, but it was exhausting! I had the deal with alot of the nurses you have...

   Thank you so much for your encouraging words! :) My aunt is a Hospice RN in Florida, and she loves it. My grandmother (her mother) had Hospice care, and it touched our lives. My mother is a Therapist, so I guess it just runs through the veins. I'm ac...
