So I applied to RU Camden for their traditional nursing program as a transfer hoping to get accepted into the junior year. Has anyone had an update yet ? I have been checking like crazy these past few days to see if I was granted admissions or not. I am shocked its taking this long since I know someone who got into RU Camden nursing program last and they found out they were accepted on April 5th. I CANNOT TAKE THE PRESSURE

i dont believe that it is a requirement but it is always to have it under your belt so when you do need it you will be already set , you know :)

i understand what your saying , but i believe i was getting upset cause i thought it would come easy , but everything in life doesnt come easy which i had to realize so now when i get the rejection emails and no phone calls back i just keep a positive attitude cause i know that one day something will come thru for me. i even realized that people with cna experience will always get picked before me but hopefully all my job experience will one day have the HR person say "hey he doesnt have healthcare experience but he has been working since he was young, lets give him a shot"

Thanks you guys for the encouarging words & advice , over the past couple of days ive been applying & i actually ended up getting a interview , so ill tell you guys how that goes when its time. once again thanks everyone!

I know everyone is probably looking like why am posting in this section ? well because i thought maybe i could get some advice from you guys since im trying become a RN as well. I just moved to philadelphia and i noticed that its very hard to get a job as a CNA ; im a new CNA with no kind of experience. My goal is to work in the hospital but I know that wont happen , so i was wondering did anyone know anywhere that hires new cna's ? i just wanna get my first cna job so i can finish going to school for nursing. please if there's any advice you could give to this 19 year old male , i would GREATLY appreciate it !

As the days go past i get more & more discouraged about being a CNA. It seems as though it is so hard to find my 1st cna job. I've done everything from applied to hospitals then turning around and calling the HR's of the hospitals , even with nursing homes! I've been beating down doors with the nursing homes and been calling their HR's as well but doesnt no one want to pick up the phone . i kinda wanna give up, it makes me want to give up on this whole cna thing and makes me want to change my major from nursing to something else cause i can just imagine how it will be when i become a nurse. But to me its like how hard is it to do the job ? im a fast learner and can pick up anything , i picked up the skills quicker then the people in my class when i was going for cna , even the teacher said i wont have no problem out in the field but obviously he was wrong :/ i just want someone to give the 19 year old male his FIRST shot! QUESTION: how hard was it getting your first CNA job ?

I tried Genesis & I didnt see any openings for them :/ i guess ill have to keep looking but thanks tho!

Thanks. i took your advice & started applying to different LTC facilities out here. Wish me luck , hopefully I can score my FIRST CNA job

Hi everyone ; well the title basically speaks for itself !! i just moved to philadelphia from florida and on top of that I am a new CNA and which I am getting my stuff switched over to Pennsylvania but i was wondering if anyone knew any places out here in philly that hires new cna's ? i really want to work in the hospital but i know with no experience that will never happen. so i was just wondering if anyone could help me get a jump start. LOL. thanks for paying this some type of attention! i appreciate it.
