   amoss2345 replied to antmotley's topic in Michigan

   I work at a wonderful nursing home (initially as a LPN, but as of last week am a RN). I believe our CNA's start out at $15.00/hour. It's a really good place to work, as far as nursing homes go. Good luck:)

2. Lpn or Rn school

   amoss2345 replied to Jvega's topic in General Nursing

7. What I Wish I Knew Before Nursing School!

   amoss2345 replied to rollydrooly208's topic in General Nursing

   I wish I knew how much effort was involved in nursing school....a lot of busy work (care plans, concept maps, etc.) plus studying and lab stuff....it's definately exhausting. I would enjoy your last little bit of freedom, and take it seriously once...

8. How Much Do You Make???

   amoss2345 replied to amoss2345's topic in General Nursing
