No retention pay, no bonus decision made yet, if we are off due to any Covid symptoms or other reasons due to Covid we get paid leave.

My class started with 42 students, but only 28 students graduated. Some did not keep up with their grades and some were allowed to return the following school year. The quick two year programs are expensive and in my opinion not worth it. The students don't get enough quality training. In the 4 to 5 years it takes to graduate as an RN a student gains respect and in depth knowledge for their profession.

Hi I was 39 when I became a CNA. At 40 I started LVN school, graduated, worked and finished some pre-requisites for RN school. I am 45 now and just graduated last May to become an RN. Yesterday I found out I passed the NCLEX in California. I am so excited to start working as an RN. You have to love working with patients and you have to be ready for the hard work and still love nursing. I worked in the marketing dept. for Panasonic and had my own flower shop for 6 years. One day I realized I wanted to help people that struggle with cancer. It is in my nature to want to help people, but I was not ready to be a nurse until now. Good luck in whatever you do.
