   Boy do I hear ya, and I am a CNA! The talk that goes on is unacceptable. The attitude is also unacceptable. But will it change, probably not. Why? Because these are the people that they can get that will stay while the rest of us run as fast and...

   I had handwashing, TPR, and haircare and wheelchair to bed. That was Cincy a year ago. Too easy and the testers were really nice. Strict but still nice and talked to me afterwards and gave me encouragement. :)

    Heard today over 300 applicants for Richmond. But I also heard that I shouldn't worry about it, looks good for me with a 210. I don't think I will stop worrying until I have the letter in my hand.

    I think Richmond has 40 and 40. Last I heard Lawrenceburg had 10. Might have changed in the last few weeks. I am going to Richmond because the odds are better to get in there.
