This is a great read, I am currently studying to be a Navy Nurse and I am in my Freshman year. I have found peace and solace in your article. Thank You!

Your pay basically depends on where you live in the country, experience and your state certification. Personally I think that is a fairly low salary. My mother is a CNA and she makes about $16.00 or $17.00 per hour. Try your hardest to get into a hospital they pay more and the benefits are great. Plus remember when you go on interviews, sell your self, and if asked for your desired salary start high; roughly 2 or 3 dollars per hour higher than the normal range, who knows they make take this into consideration. Starting salaries are important because it may take you a long time to increase your base salary; especially due to our current situation with the economy!

Hang in there, Never give up!!! The true secret to success is having the ability to withstand all storms that may come your way! Hang tight and tough, and never give up! Find a stragegy that works for you; build your support group and then implement your plan for success!!! Most of all think positive!

Sorry, I meant Sprint HTC touch pro.

I just purchased the spring HTC touch pro, this phone/pda has received excellent ratings and you will have instant access and downloads to everything you will possibly need. Hope this helps.

Hello, I was just picked up for the Medical Enlisted Commissioning Program, to be a Navy Nurse. I am in the Navy already; I will transition to the Officer community once I complete my nursing degree in the fall. I already hold an undergraduate in Health Care Management and currently working on my M.B.A. I will be attending ODS, this is all new to me; and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what I should be doing to get ready for training. I am on their website now; and I have also downloaded a running program from the site as well. All tips are appreciated, I look forward to hearing from you all.
