Full time college student and CNA ?
It is. Very hard to do if you work five days a week. But if you do a 12 hour day then it can be done. Most people who are in school full time work the weekend only. Not only that most faculty needs weekend staff. So depends o. Your work scdehule. Get online classes if need be also. you have to decided what's more important work or school. Which is getting harder to do these days.

Health Insurance
Not really. You can get away with it. But if no insurance I would definitely be careful with patients. Use Hoyer lifts and ask help from staff members.

CNA with ADHD
Okay I recently lost my job. After losing my job I talk with my counselor about droping out of nursing school because I felt the medical is to political. She told me I'm to smart to leave before I even get started, she then ask me why would I leave. I told I was fired and what I was fired for. She ask me a bunch of questions. I answer her. She told me I have ADHD and that I need to go get medicine for it. I have receive medicine for it. Now I'm lost because had I know that I had ADHD I wouldn't have been fired from a lot of medical field jobs. I am banned from working with half of the healthcare system in Baltimore. This is just too much. So now I'm wondering how do I continue my life? Of I get a job interview How do I tell them what happen at my last job? What do I do?

I am currently in training now and I can tell you its higher education. Its already happening hospital are pushing out cna that do no go take the pct course and become nationally certified. At least in maryland anyway. Even nursing homes have begin to push out the lpn.

New PCT, am I better starting off as a CNA ?
you should already be cna if you are Pct. Hospital will not hire house as a pct without your cna. If you went thru an program that is credited by the state that you are in then you most likely are a cna. You should check with your state nursing board and see if you have a license number
