   prisicruz replied to futureLVN40's topic in CNA/MA

   I loved being a CNA, I did it for almost three years before getting my MA. I also wish I had gone for my LPN rather than my MA. I'll be applying to a PN program in November cant wait! Anyway, my day as a CNA was pretty much the same on a day to day ...
