I have heard the same thing which is unfortunate because I am in my 7th week of LPN school. I also heard that most LPN will more than likely go to work in LTC which I have no desire what so ever to work. If that becomes the case in the future I thin...

All the nursing homes always need CNA so it shouldn't take long to get a job. The only thing that may hold you up some is the fact that you dont have any experience. In the mean time go online and put in some applications and upload your resume to ...

Hi everyone I am currently a full time LPN student but am looking towards working as a part time CNA to pay bills while in school. I really need either a weekend or evening CNA prep class. Does anyone have any suggestions ?

I am currently in school to be a LPN and you guys are scaring me. I dont graduate until March of 08 but I am already scared of the N-Clex. What type of material does it cover. Is it like the PSB or it does it only cover nursing situations. What is ...
