  6. Can an RN in Maryland work as a CNA?

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Good luck castlegates. At least now you know you do have more options to get your foot in the door, as far as taking a tech/cna position. Unfortunately, although we know it's legal, I have been...

    MissBrittanyRN replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in Maryland Nursing

    MissBrittanyRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Disaster Preparation

    MissBrittanyRN replied to goingback's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    MissBrittanyRN replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks everyone. I do remember those feelings - first clinicals, finals, NCLEX, and they did get better. Those worries seem so small compared to now. It's just so embarrassing when family ask me...

    The way I see it (and perhaps I am part of the reason that nurse recruiters are so frusterated right now) is it's never too early to apply. If there is a posting for an extern you might as well jump...
