    ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  9. Not treated fairly

    ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  10. Not treated fairly

    ntvan07 replied to ntvan07's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  14. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    ntvan07 replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students
