Thanks RunBabyRun! Do most CNA programs offer on site training? All the best, junegirl

Thanks, Loriangel14! Do you think that I could work as a CNA on a part time basis? junegirl

Thanks HouTx so much for your encouragement! I looked through that webpage and the Phlebotomy tech looked interesting. I have donated blood quite a bit for the Red Cross, so I am familiar with the procedure. I guess what I am looking for the most in this field is to be a help, an extra set of hands. Would this be a good field to start part time? Thanks, again! junegirl

Hi all! For the past couple of years I have been interested in the medical field, and I feel like I may be being called to this. I have no prior experience in this field nor does anyone in my family. What would be a good way to start out, to see if this is a good fit for me? Right now I am looking around at local schools and seeing what type of programs they offer. Any recommendations on the next step? I know that their are all kinds of avenues, medical assistants, LNA, LPN, RN, etc... Thanks for your time!

No pre-reqs? All of the programs around me require TEAS scores and some Bio, Chem, etc. Did you enjoy the LPN program?

Thanks so much for your advice! I will start looking into some hospitals and see what kind of volunteer work I can do. I really appreciate the help!

Hi Corrine! Should I just call up a local hospital and ask specifically to work with the nursing unit? Thanks for your encouragement! :)

Hi Guys! I am 21 years old and have been contemplating a nursing career for sometime now. I don't have any relatives in the medical field and, as such, I have no one to talk to, one on one about the realities of this career. My question is simply, what can I do? I would rather not sign up for any long term classes before I am certain that I can do the job. Is there any type of activity you can think of that will help give me some insight? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for your time! Peg
