  5. Worried that I might be over qualified for HHA or CNA job because of college degree

    Get2theChoppa replied to flod's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  17. Volunteering

    Get2theChoppa replied to shammie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most nursing school websites themselves (at least in my area) quote that they want at least or over 100 volunteer hours, but I imagine any number would help on

  18. I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

    Get2theChoppa replied to christinem2388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh please, there are people on this board who are literally TWICE your age and are in it for the long haul like you. If they can do it, surely someone half their age

  23. What was it like to register for your CNA class?

    Get2theChoppa replied to Get2theChoppa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Get2theChoppa replied to dia1010usa's topic in California Nursing

    As I understand it, Charles Drew University accepts applicants with lower GPAs. It's private, but no where near the 100k mark. More like 50-60k. They're located in LA, not the safest area of LA, but...
