    ArrowRN replied to NewNew10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My wife is a CNA so I think I have a VERY good idea what I'm talking about. Fact is all CNA's are underpaid. But this has nothing to do with being a CNA or EMT (which I no longer am). It has to do...

    Your first Nursing interview - how well does your school prepare you for this?

    ArrowRN replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    Pretty good idea for an SNA to get involved. School prepares you to take the NCLEX. If the interviewing nurses are doing NCLEX questions for the "perfect world scenarios" I'm sure I would be ok too...

    ArrowRN replied to Jill2Shay's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants
