Was thinking about becoming an CNA this summer after college is over...I am in my first sem. of pre-reqs currently at a community college. My friend who is a Nursing Assistant began working in a Nursing home and now works in a hospital. I haven't heard of many people doing this...just want to hear your thoughts :) And, if you are a CNA, or have taken this path, do you think it has helped with the transitioning to the medical workplace?

Okay, I know two products which will give you the most beautiful hands ever! L'Occitane shea hand cream and One Minute Manicure scrub. Seriously, I stock cans at night pt and it's the only thing that keeps my hands from getting dry, chapped, and cracked. And I'm 20. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P39674&categoryId=B70 http://www.oneminutemanicure.com/ Just buy the smaller versions of the products; a little really does go a long way :)

I start next spring on beginning my RN classes at a local community college in Texas; mostly pre-requisites. Want to eventually enter the UT Austin RN to BSN program; but am a little confused. Aren't they basically the same thing? What are the benefits of going for 2 more years? Is it easier to get a job, or is it so you can manage a team of RN's? Does it affect your base pay? Thanks for all your help!
