wow.... that sounds like an awesome schedule! maybe someday I'll be able/experienced enough to get something like that. I have to work in LTC for at least a year, or I have to pay back my CNA tuition...
Thanks for your response, Coffemate- it's good to know what I'm getting myself into. It makes sense that you get the more difficult assignments. The experience thing is what I'm the most worried...
What's your opinion on working PRN [or per diem as I've heard it called]? I'm completing my CNA training in June. After that I'll be in a LTC for at least a year. I'll be working PRN if I can, but I'd...
