   I also used 4yourCNA on youtube. I watched the videos over and over and had the grading rubrics for each skill in my hand as I watched them, checking off each step as she did them in the video. The lady who makes them is also good about responding to...

   Hey! I am a new CNA, just passed the exam last week. I am currently trying to find a job so I can save up money to start nursing school in January. I am finding it very difficult to find a job without having experience. I also can't decide what type ...
