THanks to all your suggestions. This is a completely new field for me and I'm not sure how to go about it. I have wanted to do this for some time now but just had my hands full with my four kids and they are just getting to the age where I think I can try and go back to school and start a new career. I will look at Methodist. To answer your question, Island40--I have not thought of doing legal consulting work yet at this time. Who knows what the future holds, but I am more interested in hands on care at this moment. We'll see how everything plays out though. Thanks for your suggestions! Fran88

Hi- I'm starting my CNA in a few weeks at Mercy in Des Moines. After I finish my CNA, I will go on the waiting list for DMACC. I already have a BS and JD so this is a second career for me. I'm interested in getting a job at a hospital after I get my CNA while I wait for DMACC. Is it hard to get a job as a CNA in a hospital? Any hospitals in the area that hire CNAs without experience? I'm interested in Cardiac, OB or Psych. Is that unrealistic to think I could get a job as a CNA on any of those floors at a hospital while I wait to get into DMACC?
