im going to be getting surgery soon for a torn pectoral muscle ill be in a sling for 5-6 weeks, and have to be really careful for around 4-5 months. i dont know if ill be able to do the work cna's do after surgery. would they put me somewhere else until im able to do other things like help patients in and out of their bed etc? i need a job soon because im going to have to pay for the surgery my self. im 19 and i plan to go to school to be a RN next year, havent started college yet. i thought working as a cna would give me some experience. if i wont be able to do this after surgery maybe ill just work at walmart or something until i can.

I want to be a traveling nurse and was wondering how is health insurance for nurses? Because im type 1 diabetic and I have hereditary high blood pressure and having type 1 diabetes isnt exactly cheap. Also do traveling nurses have to have their bsn or is an adn good enough? Either way I plan to get my bsn eventually I just wanted to get started working sooner rather than later because im already 19 and havent started college yet.
