I amthinking about going to CCAC to become a CNA but i heard you can go to UPMC and get it for free? can anyone give me information on how i would go about signing up with UPMC?

I know its personal but I am just curious, of course you don't have to answer it but for those of you who don't mind, answer please, thanks! CNA/RN/LPN/PA/APN/fulltime/parttime/casual whatever your profession is, just state it and share :)

has anyone done this? It is what I'm interested in doing.

I'm doing it because it is something I enjoy, if I dont get into med school, I'll at least have a nursing career to fall back on instead of a chem/bio degree...

oops didn't think of that! thanks :)

yup :)

1950 its 37.5x52(weeks in a year)=1950 40302/1950=20.66 so you make 20.66 an hour hehe dont worry about your math skills! I have my boyfriend to do my math homework for me haha he is a huge nerd !

Does anyone here work as a Casual? Whats it like, do you like it? How many hours do you/can you work per week? is it your only job? I interviewed to work at a Psychiatric Institution (WPIC) as a Casual and the RN told me that there is always a need ...

any tips? I'll be working with children with Autism if i get hired, anyone have experience with that? thanks

they told me HR should get in touch with me within a week and if they dont call me then i should go ahead and call them. the interview went pretty well.

you are very rude! All i did was ask for some help from people who have experience. I just found out about this interview 2 days ago! I know all about autism and what the children are like but I just wanted some words of wisdom from someone who has e...
