That's what I figured.. The only problem with Tech positions is the hospitals around here start you out after your first semester as a PCT 1 at 8.45/hr and where I work (with no experiece) I'm at 8.5/hr

I found the CNA brochure online that tells every single skill that you 'may' be tested on and breaks down the steps that the exam proctor will be looking for and there are only a few things that I haven't learned but I'll be learning them in the next...

I have had wonderful financial aid for my pre-reqs but my daughter didn't have to be in daycare and it covered everything plus some.. This semester I have to take a Stafford loan to cover daycare and a few books.. But I found out that in Florida (and...
