Been in fast food/retail most of my adult life. I'm a "professional cashier" LOL. I took Phlebotomy back in 2001 (First day of class, believe it or not was Sept 11 2001) I believe I did well but was unable to find a job, because some of preceptors ga...

ohh haha! I am sorry, upon further inspection of Google, i found this out. And i have no idea, I am going to take a CNA course this spring... Good luck to you though, I believe you will have to start from scratch and still take pre-reqs

If im able to snag a job at a LTC facility. I can be in a mobile home within 6 months, i know its not very glamorous, but it will be my very first home, and I can't wait :) Good luck OP!

Did you mean CNA? Whats a CMA?

The main nursing home where i'm to do clinicals smells like pickles... i kid you not! My great grandma and and great uncle lived there until there death... and everytime i went in there, the smell would hit you at first but then you got use to it.

Great post! You gave me a big confidence boost to not give up... Hope to see your graduation post as well :)

Good Luck! You can do it, and we are all here cheering you on through those horrid pre-req exams! :redbeathe:nurse:

Awww don't give up... follow up, follow up, follow up! Keep on trying and putting out resumes... Good Luck, you'll get something!

I do it for love, and i'm dead serious about that... My great grandmother and great uncle lived in a nursing home for quite some time, one i am interested to work in once i am done with school. I want to take care of the sick, elderly and the incapac...

Hi all! I am Amanda from Texas... Mommy, wife and soon to be Nursing or (CNA) student and i am NERVOUS! I did take Phlebotomy back in 2000 but I was not able to find work due to my preceptors. Only a few gave me good scores, the rest, well... not so ...

Thanks for all the input... And yes after going over the prices, I think I would benefit better from being a CNA first :) Have a great weekend all
