    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    Ms. Nurse Assistant replied to dari98's topic in General Nursing

    In the hospital Nurses are doing the exact same duties as the CNAs--that is where i live. So if you really hate being a CNA, you're gonna loathe being an RN...unless you are one of those RNs who...
