Thanks so much for the info. When its hot up here I live for flip flops and will be looking forward to wearing them except to work. I'll keep in facilites in mind for work and also the schools for nursing. Again thanks for the info I appreciate it.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if someone could help me out with a few thing's. My husband is in the Air Force right now. In April of this year we are being stationed in Pensacola. Currently he is MS and I am in MA. I've heard the cost of living in FL is good, but the pay isn't good at all. I work as a nurses aide and I want to go to a 1 year school for LPN. I don't know FL at all and don't know where the schools are nor do I know of any good job's as well. The town's closest to Pensacola. I guess and correct if I am wrong. The base is Hurlburt Field and once you step out of the gates your in Fort Walton Beach but go back in the gates your in Pensacola. I can ask on base about work and school which I will do but any other advice will be greatly appreciated. Also, it may seems tedious but I have a very strong Boston accent and I was wondering how the people are, accents, weather etc...Again thanks for reading this and for the people who respond. I appreciate it.

Thanks, I just applied to several of them! It's very weird, I called them and they said they were not hiring...I live in Derry NH...

I have worked 6 monthes in NH, and 3 months in Ma (as a CNA) in nursing homes...The NH place was over an hour away and that why I went to Ma, then I got a great job offer on an office job I couldn't refuse (almost double the money)...I also wanted to get out of the whole nursing home thing...Well, I just got laid off from that office job yesterdsay...I want to get back into nursing but would like to work at a hospital...I'm only tried Elliot/Manchester and Parkland/Derry so far and no one seems to be hiring LNAs, only RNs... Any help? Furthermore I'm looking into becoming an xray tech but have no money as of right now...I need to find a paid training place, lol...

Well, I work in a nursing home as an LNA. The area I work in is the Rehab so people are constantly coming and going. I first started looking around nursing homes to see if they offer programs for becoming an LNA, in exchange you work there for a certain amount of time. If I couldn't find one then I would have to pay the Red Cross to get my training as an LNA. It took me six weeks for my training, then I took my state tests and passed. Now I want to become an LPN, because I can be an LPN in one year or under a year. The program cost alot, but at least I would be an LPN. If I didn't answer your question I am sorry.

My boyfriend friend girlfriend is an RN and she said that there are RN programs that are offered like LNA programs. If this is true would anyone know where? She said something like they pay you in exchange you work. It's similar to LNA but its for an RN. Anyone knows and they could let me know I would appreciate it. Thanks!

LNA means licensed nursing assistant

I want to become an LNA and I am looking around at different schools that offer the program. Are there any LNA programs that offered for free with the exchange of working there after? Also, if you have never gone to school in the healthcare field before would that be a problem? I am asking because I haven't gone to school for the healthcare and I don't want it to be a problem. Any information would help. Thanks!

I'm interested in LNA and I heard that some LNA courses you have to pay for and some are free. I found an LNA course that seems reasonable price wise, but does anyone know where any LNA courses are for free? If so could you let me know I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
