Hi...A friend of my mother is looking into becoming a CNA and asked me to help her. I know nothing about this and am looking for some sort of direction. Does anyone know where you go to school to become one (she lives on the South Shore)? How long...

Ours is exactly like yours....

Any of you almost at the end of NS ever get only C's all the way through?? I have had only 1 test so far and studying my butt off and only ended up with a C+. I have no self confidence in myself, never have, so I am already preparing myself for flu...

Awesome. Thank you! I pretty much study the same way but I read the chapter the night before we discuss it in class, so I have an idea of what we are talking about. But then I don't reread the chapter while I am rewriting my notes from the pp prese...

thansk! i looked at this thread before i sent my post and a lot of the sites would not pulll up.

I think my other problem is that I am getting ahead of myself. We haven't even gotten into the nursing process yet (next week). Hopefully once I actually study what the nursing process is (not just listening to bits and pieces from different people...

Thanks for your reply. I will look into it..however, real quick, do you know how long it took and how much it cost?? Thx again!

This makes me feel so good. I am starting RN school tomorrow so I know I have plenty of time (and let me pass) before I have to worry about getting a job. All I have been reading on this site is how nobody can find jobs...and my thought was exactly...
