Moving to NC CNA future RN

[Flygirl23462]

Hi I am moving to north Carolina in August. I am licensed in DC and VA a CNA. I have Four yrs experience. I have worked Homecare, Pediatrics Med/Surg at Fairfax INOVA and now work in Hospice. I understand that I will need to challenge the CNA test written and skills. I registered and just need to pay and set my testing date.

I am hoping to get into nursing school ..it looks like I have to have a college NC CNA course to be accepted. I found one school so far that days they will possibly accept me once I have NC license ..everyother one wants me to retake the course..what is frustarating me is VAs course that I took is 75 hrs longer!

Any recommendations in Hospitals to work at, I am looking at DUKE, UNC and Randolph Hopsital so far.

Ill probably be posting a lot here the next 3 months.

I am in NC, for my program we were required to be listed on NC's registry and to have completed a state approved CNA class. I think a lot of programs here are like this.

Watts School of Nursing RN program does not require the CNA class. Their classes start in January and June. They are a hospital based program working with Duke.

I'm at Watts-rising third semester student. They do not require CNA licence. I can't say enough good things about watts because there just isn't enough hours in the day!
