How much for a CNA in NC?

Hi EKA69...I'm here in NC too...32yrs old..starting a totally new career...initally wanted to go into medicine after high school but got side tracked with marriage and children. After 14 yrs in call center management, I want to become a nurse. Only after I had a set a twins in May 07..and was in aenetal for 2 mnths & had preemies in the NICU for a month...I had the best care for myself and my babies...and met the very best, encouraging nurses that took care of us. ..Anyway..I'm writing you because I want to make sure that the plan that I have developed for myself is not unrealistic or unattainable. I plan to start my CNA in Jan.08, work for the hospital system (and a third shift job) , use tuition assistance to become a LPN, and an RN. I'm thinking that all of this could be completed within 5-6 yrs. ..Also, how can I determine the waiting list here in Greensboro? (possibly a long shot but...) If you are in Greensboro, I think I know the female Dr you were fortunate to work with....(possibly a long shot)
