    18 years old to work as a CNA?

    Faeriewand replied to Kay28's topic in General Nursing

    Can I get a job as a CNA without a high school diploma?

    Nurse practicing without license?

    Faeriewand replied to sensweet's topic in General Nursing

    The schools where I am also hire health techs (or whatever they're called) This is probably what that woman is which is why she doesn't need a license. She shouldn't be presenting herself as a nurse...
