    DarkBluePhoenix replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with you! I, too, am a CNA and my first job is at a hospital and I love it. And I work 12 hour nights and they are not as easy as the day shifters think they are (I know they have hectic days...

  12. CSUSB Fall 2012 Hopefuls

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing
