I am 17 years old and am planning to take an approved CNA class at a local senior high school. High school applicants can be accepted, so its not an issue there. I am in my last year of high school...
I checked with social services awhile ago and the facility I work at currently seem very staunch about not letting anyone under the age of 18 work as a nursing assistant unfortunately. Since I already...
You would be wasting a lot of time. If you want to be a doctor, go right for pre-med and skip nursing school. Having a nursing background is not going to help you out much, and pre-requisites are...
1. In my area, there is a magnet hospital that still hires a multitude of LPNs yet. It just depends where you are geographically. Some other parts of the country are phasing them out (or so I hear)....
Have you tried applying at LTC (long-term care) aka nursing homes? I guarantee you would find a good chance at being hired there then at a hospital. A lot of hospitals prefer and sometimes require LTC...

Thanks for all advice everyone! and FYI, I live in Minnesota. I checked with the local magnet hospital in the city, and they do hire ADNs, but I get the feeling they are BSN preferred....they were...
I am currently in the process of finding a college for nursing. I'm a high school senior and plan to take my pre-reqs right after I graduate so I'm really needing to make up my mind which school I...
I want to go to nursing school, but I'm a bit confused which path I should choose. I have two schools I'm interested in - a technical college that requires you to follow a CNA to LPN to RN route and a...
Well, I honestly don't have any choice when it comes to getting my CNA if I intend to go to a technical school in my state. So you guys think the long route of CNA - generals and pre-reqs - LPN - RN...
What I don't like about the tech school is that you have to first become an LPN before you can become an ADN. I would rather just get my ADN right away rather than mess around. It also requires you to...
