   elvislover74 replied to LadyLeo75's topic in CNA/MA

   Where do you work? Ive been a cna for going on 4 years. Ive worked in rehabilitation, nursing home, hospital floor and ER. I found that working at the hospital was 100% better. I loved my pts at the nursing home, but I knew I'd be furthering my nursi...

   I'm both a cna and an EMT-IV. If you're serious about nursing, then I highly suggest getting a job as a CNA. One, it's less time to get it than EMT. and two, if you want to ve a travel nurse then you need to be versatile in all sorts of medical sit...

8. How many tries did it take you to get in to Nursing school?

   elvislover74 replied to spindash's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I definitely know how you feel! I just applied for my first time, and was not accepted. I don't really understand why, because I met all of the requirements, excedingly. For example, I had a 3.75 GPA, I am finished with all of my pre-requisites, I pa...
