Well, the first weekend of class is over. It's okay. I like the instructor but I wish that they covered things that you will find in a hospital and not just a nursing home. I don't really have any plans of working for a nursing home because I want to get in with a hospital that has a partnership with one of the community colleges. overall, though, it's alright.

I don't think we covered hospitals at all. PM who your instructor was since I don't think we can name names. I'm curious. Glad it went well.

Yeah, we never went over hospital stuff and I've heard it's practically impossible to get a job at a hospital right out of CNA school anyways. You almost have to work in a nursing home before getting a job at a hospital.

I know that some hospitals, like SHC, will hire new grad CNAs. Others, like Banner, will hire you with only a couple of weeks of experience in another facility.
