Awesome and thanks!! The only ones I have found so far are in Jacksonville. Im fine with working most anywhere as long as they can handle part-time. Is it unheard of to find a flexible part time CNA job in the area? Thanks again!

Bump up to the top...shouldny have posted at midnight.

Hi all. I stumbled across this site while looking for information about getting into nursing. I am serving in the US Air Force. I really want to be a nurse. I was inspired when I saw them working during Aero-Medical Evacuation missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am a Loadmaster on C-130s and was lucky to spend some time with these amazing people. I have a "plan" and wanted to run it by a group of people with experience in this world. Here goes. I know that time will be factor as I go because I will be doing while on Active Duty. I was thinking I could start by taking a CNA course while on leave (I have found a couple that are only a few weeks long) and start to gain knowledge and spend some time in the clinical enviroment. Then progress through to LPN (or straight to ASN if time permits). Pretty much gaining education off the prior step. I have a long time left in the military and am looking to get experience now so that when I retire I will be marketable. I figure that with a my management experience (17ish years of leadership, at time of retirement, and a BS of Management-Health Care) should be a pretty strong resume. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and look forward to your insight. Brutal honesty is always welcome.

Hi everyone! I am new to this site and very interested in getting into the nursing field. I know there are a couple of topics on this, but I could not find any that were fairly current. I am looking for CNA programs in the Central Arkansas area. I live in Cabot. Also, any experience with them would be awesome! Was it quality education? And very importantly...how long was it? I am serving in the US Air Force and and looking to get into nursing gradually. Starting with CNA and working my way up the eduation ladder as time allows. The length of the course will be important as I will probably have to take leave to take the course unless they offer evening classes. I am excited to get going!!!

Hi. I was wondering about the Heart2Heart in Jacksonville. I am thinking about going there and want to make sure that I am putting my money and time to a good and respected education. Thanks.
