Hello! I have been working as a nurse aide (STNA) for the last 3 years and I think it's time for me to take the plunge to go to nursing school. I have been looking at the Cincinnati State LPN program...
1. I think my class to become an aide was about 3 weeks in total beginning to end. 2. I don't remember how many questions were on the test, but it was fairly simple. Pay attention in class and study...
