  17. Just starting out Q

    Thank you. A friend's work place does that, I'm waiting to hear back from them . It's not nursing but I can transfer over once I get started.
  18. Just starting out Q

    If it's going to take me longer to get a nursing degree due to time constraints does it make sense to go ahead and become a CNA so I can start work in the nursing field or does it even matter? Maybe just work at whatever job until I'm through school?...
