    K_girl replied to teysmith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  6. Becoming a CNA while still attending High-school?

    K_girl replied to Kenanipel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    K_girl replied to Crystal74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Being too anxious?

    K_girl replied to MissChristi86's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    K_girl replied to Starletta's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    K_girl replied to mar12011's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  18. skills test question

    K_girl replied to CNA/glorified maid's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  23. What color is your uniform?

    K_girl replied to MILOBRI's topic in General Students

    K_girl replied to Unlicensed06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you've already been there 6 mo and are doing well, I personally would probably hold off on moving back. Ultimately, the real question, how unhappy are you? What are you unhappy about? The only...
