  1. Opinions Needed: Straight to RN or LPN first?

    ann945n replied to flynntastic's topic in General Nursing

  6. Should I take a CNA class?

    ann945n replied to JeannieS's topic in General Nursing

    I would say getting your CNA is a good idea. It will give you an idea of what nursing is. But if you hate CNA work I would say dont base that on your decision to become an RN. Working in LTC is very...

    ann945n replied to sumatra1's topic in General Nursing
