    Going to school full time, commuting, and working as a CNA?

    LoveNeverDies replied to Jannie92's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I did not have that long commute, only about 15 minutes, but my first year at college I took 21 credit hours and worked 24 hours a week. You can do it. That 1.5H on the train will be a good time to...

    Do I have any options?

    LoveNeverDies replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    LoveNeverDies replied to lane990's topic in General Students

    Cannot give legal advice. But knowing students in multiple private colleges (a year in one myself) we all expect AT LEAST a 1000$ tuition increase a year. A friend's last year was

    Patient's responses to students during clinical days

    LoveNeverDies replied to QueenAnnissa's topic in General Students
