LNA Questions, Possibly Moving

[brownhairedgal]

I am considering a possible move to either Manchester, Durham, Portsmouth, or surrounding areas in the coming years.

I will be getting my Nurse Aide certification in my current state and I wanted to find out what it would take to challenge the LNA exam in NH. What are the requirements and costs? Basically if someone could give me a run-down of the process it would be very much appreciated. :redpinkhe

Other questions:

What is the lowest LNA salary you've heard of?

What type of shifts are most available?

I'd like to find a job that is 32 hrs a week and night shift so I can attend school full-time during the day. How likely is that scenario?

Is being an LNA a requirement in NH for Nursing school? It is in my state which is why I ask, but I don't see that on any of the school's websites I've visited.

Thank you all for your help!

Here is the NH Board of Nursing Website, you will be able post and test information there.

LNA is not a requirement at any of the schools in the surrounding areas. Doing 32 hours a week and school full time, is something you would be able to find. I am currently working 32 hours a week 3rd shift, will be going to 2nd in September and will hopefully be full time school. You will be able to find a job just look every where. As for salary, I am a new aid and I am get 10.50 plus 50 diff. since I work 3rd shift.

Hope that helped you out.
