2. CNA problems

   werty86 replied to ctcna's topic in CNA/MA

7. Resume Help Please

   werty86 replied to pnkgirl25's topic in CNA/MA

   hi there. i'll give it a try. to me.. your resume is extremely wordy.. way too long for someone who is showing that s/he has been working for only 4 years. you should better categorize and organize your tasks/duties. some of them are obvious to the p...

8. Could somebody please critique my cover letter?

    for fafsa, you're suppose to fill it out by early spring of every year for the upcoming school year. as i have always understood it, fafsa counts three semesters as one year, starting from FALL to WINTER to SPRING/SUMMER. for example, THIS year (2012...

13. Is it worth it to become a CNA on my road to becoming a nurse?

    werty86 replied to sucess2012's topic in CNA/MA
