    2ndyearstudent replied to dudette10's topic in General Students

  11. Dear new CNA's

    2ndyearstudent replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This brings back memories of talking to the DON during my early days as a CNA in a nursing home. She would give me a blank stare. That was before I discovered the DON's office door at that facility is...

  12. Job Hunting/ Do I become a CNA?

    2ndyearstudent replied to jamiemd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

    2ndyearstudent replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having a 4.0 should never be anyone's main focus. Doing the very best you can should be. I have a 4.0, but after this (my last) semester I won't have one anymore, I'm on track for a solid B....
