  4. New CNA looking for work

    stinebean replied to hevnbnd4's topic in California Nursing

    Your best bet is to look for jobs at Skilled Nursing Facilities to get at least 6 months of acute care experience before you try to get a job at one of the local hospitals. That's what I'm planning...

    stinebean replied to Mariposas's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    stinebean replied to hopingipass's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Denial!!!

    stinebean replied to wbgirl3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    stinebean replied to Lilme04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. A&P and Micro together?

    stinebean replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    stinebean replied to stinebean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
