Put a hold on my nursing school for certain reasons. Moved from California to France and planning to return in a few years and continue the last 6 months I have left.

    Hi ! Your best bet is in nursing homes. All over California nursing homes are hiring. Hospitals are hard to get into , but you should always apply anyways! Hospitals always look for experience. Nursing homes I feel are harder work and less pay , but ...
  2. How was your experience? How long did you wait to return and was the transition easy for you for being out of school for some time? I had to drop earlier this year and I moved from California to France. My husband and I will not be returning to Calif...

    Impossible to find a day time/full time job???

    I would get all the phone numbers for the LTC's in your county and just call and ask. I did that, and found openings for AM shift...=]
  9. =/ I'm pretty sure she didn't mean it that way. I think her question was more towards if you were living on your own with a cna salary. Futurepedsnurse:), I get $12 an hour and roughly make $1600 a month after taxes & live with roommates. With pa...

    CNA as a career?

    If the grab bars weren't broken, I would use those. If I knew they were stable enough, I'd use their wheelchair and lock in next to them and have them grand the rails and stand.......but if they can't stand on their own, I would still ask for help w...
  14. hah I found it on craigslist in the medical section for jobs. A lot of facilities here in southern california are actually putting up their ads and saying they're hiring. What also helped me when I really needed a second cna job, I got all the phone ...
