   amy874 replied to green77bus's topic in New Hampshire

   P.S. I guess I didn't read your last paragraph fully. I too have heard about not working in LTC if you want to go on to a hospital. I'm not sure if that's the case for LNA's and RN's. I think if you are going to LNA LTC is fine, but I bet it migh...

    Thanks for the info! Ya, I didn't think I could do my training and test in separate states. However I'm not sure where I'm going to end up forever, didn't know if I had to figure that out before I did my training and state exam. Thanks again!
