It is always best to consult legal to make sure you are doing things correctly in your state. In the end, if there are problems, it will be you who is responsible.

Your story sounds just like mine. I am in block one of the nursing program at GCC. After 20 years as an electronic engineer I am now going into nursing. I too am a grad of Emmanuel School of Nursing and glad that I am. CNA work is damn hard and pays nothing but you get a hell of an education working with patients. I see a lot of student nurses that cannot take vitals and have no bed side manner. They are in their second and third blocks! Once in the hospital, you network to get trained as a HUS or Monitor tech. The biggest plus is that you can pick the brains of the nurses for your class work and they share all the mistakes they made so you can avoid them. Keep checking the hopital web sites for openings. Lots of Luck, Larry
