    Oh shucks. It may have something to do with the high volume of sentara employees going through sentara for their BSN, since sentara does the BSN contract. I am currently working on mine through WGU....
  2. Fulltime student-is it possible to work as CNA or al all?!

    It is definitely possible to work and go to school full time. I worked as a home health CNA and at a subway during school. Both full time (but not at the same time). Its not that bad. Time is what you...
