   Wow, this is usually a enterance exam to get into Nursing school. I find it kind of weird for them to make you take it before graduation. At my insitution we have to take it prior to becoming a nursing student after we are done with our pre-reqs. I d...

8. State Difference???

   MaleRNstudent21 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   I was wondering would it technically matter if I was get certified in another state then the one I live. I have seen a couple of jobs that ask for you to be certified in the state. I find it kind of silly though since people often times move to diffe...
