    MommaTy replied to AllisonKandel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Did you work as a CNA at all during those 2 years? If you worked at least 20 hours or something you get a form from your CNA board and your employer fills it out. You then mail it back to them. No...

  8. Afraid to be a CNA!

    MommaTy replied to admiralqueenie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    MommaTy replied to proudtobehismommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't give up! You want it, keep applying every where near you. ADN, BSN, apply to them all. I have seen people get denied over 8 times, but they never gave up and got in. Remember it's not that...
