if you knew you was moving why didn't you wait and find a program in the state you are moving to. Cause not only do you have to worry about all these test. You will have to find out if the state you are moving to will accept what class you took.

i think home health can be good. if you can get with a good agency. you have to make sure they don't take advantage of you. don't let the families of people make you do things you know you shouldnt do. anyway good luck with it.

I wish they had something like that here in north carolina. I would love to do something like that. I like the idea of working up front in the doctors office. I know i do not want to do nursing. I am cna certified but didn't like it. But now i work a...
The written test in north carolina was very easy. The hard part is the other part. and it is not hard. If you study your skills you will do fine. The hardest part is getting over nerves.

I think second shift is easier than first shift or that is what i have been told. Not only do you not have the "corporates" hanging over your head. You don't have all the showers that come with first shift. So places have a shower person so it makes ...

for me i would like something like the medical assistant cause you can work in the doctors office at the front. I just am not one for the nursing thing.
you have to do what will make you happy. I think that flexiability thing may be a issue. So think about that. i think going in every day and knowing where you will be has its advantages to. i wish you the best. sorry if i am not any help.
