   Does volunteering at a hospital help?

   katehensley replied to DarkLotus's topic in Technicians

   YES! YES! YES! I know many CNAs hired as TECHS with no experience besides volunteering! I would just do it a couple times a month and honestly, get to know the clinical managers. Get your name out there. It WILL help your chances.

    PLEASE HELP i cant get into nursing school
