   ncan replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Career Support

   I had a very similar experience, and while I may not be in my "dream job" I am in a facility where I know my license is not at risk each day I clock in. I agree with the other posters, thank them for the opportunity to learn, you found something wit...

   ncan replied to susanwatt's topic in Washington

   I am anxiously waiting to hear from Whidbey about a FT RN program for this year... Rumor has it that is in the works, and still waitlisted at Mount Vernon. Its so frustrating to be waitlisted. I just want to finish my RN. Argh. Congrats though!

5. Skagit Valley College RN program!!

   ncan replied to susanwatt's topic in Washington

   No prob, what I do know is limited. They are weaning the waitlist, so they are not adding anyone else to it, but take a handful of people from it each quarter. It will eventually be just a competitive program. So far the students that I have spoke...

   I just found out that I am in for September start with August 09 graduation! Yeah! I'm at the local community college. I applied for both my RN and LPN, but the RN list is moving so slow! This way I can get my foot in the door, get some great expir...

10. Getting a Job as a CNA when resume is IT heavy...

    ncan replied to EmBeMap's topic in CNA/MA

    I also struggled getting my foot in the door, I was a Veterinary Technician for 5 years, so I had some healthcare expiriance, and both fields require compassion. I am sure that at some point, the hardwork pays off! I was just hired on as my first...

    ncan replied to RezqNinja's topic in Washington

    I currently went through the EXACT same issue. I noticed that there are a lot of LTC facilities that offer a FREE CNA class, but many of them invite you to work for them afterwards... So in your area my suggustion would be check the local paper or...
