  1. Anyone Just Interested in Being an LPN, and not an RN

    UnbreakableOne posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have been a CNA for almost 10 years, I am currently on a waitlist for an LPN school. I was just wondering, does anyone here just want to be an LPN and not continue on to RN? It gets so irritating...

  2. Anyone Just Interested in Being an LPN, and not an RN

    UnbreakableOne replied to UnbreakableOne's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah that is so true! Good thing I'm confident in all I do, and never let someone's opinion dictate my future desires! Just good to hear from others that being an LPN is all they wanted to do, even if...

    UnbreakableOne replied to californication's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have been a CNA for about 2 months and can say I feel pretty comfortable, but not 100% competent or anything. Week by week I gain experience and feel more confident. I guess it just depends on your...

    UnbreakableOne replied to on eagles wings's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    UnbreakableOne replied to mkika510's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  22. Negative experience on first day

    UnbreakableOne replied to justarookie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  24. how much do you make?

    UnbreakableOne replied to sabby09's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think the posters who said they make 21 and 23 plus dollars are referring to an RN's salary or at least an LPN, but definitely not a CNA. Carefully read the question people before you decide to...
