  5. I have been a CNA for almost 3 years now, and after the first two nights at my first LTC care (11-7) position, I could then, and am now, yelling YES! The drama issue is quite annoying, to be honest. I left a career as a public school science teache...
  6. Is it time to move on???

  7. Oh ok. You'll love The Parc at Maumelle, they're a gated community right by a park with a lake, Lake Willastein. I think River Pointe Apts are nice, too. No, I have not worked at any of the hospitals. I am a former public school science teacher t...

    Thank you very much for the wealth of information. I wasn't aware of the post bac money or 40 hour cap. I'm aware of those once a month info meetings at UALR, but I have yet to attend one. All I know, is that I have about 10k available in federal f...

  13. Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    Oops! I wasn't finished typing. I've decided to become a LPN/LVN because I already have the required courses for a nursing program at a technical college. It's a quick way to get your feet wet. Most programs are just 11 months long. If I tried g...
  14. Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    I am a former public school science teacher. I would say that the profession of education is another career field that is glorified as being "easy" or an "anybody can do that" type of job. Crappy pay, students and parents that don't care, not worth...
