I just received a letter the other day from the Red Cross, letting me know that I was accepted into their Nursing Assistant program, and the classes start July 9th! That's soo soon, but I have a feeling it's going to go by very slow because I just want to start now- I'm so excited!!!! I'll be applying to LPN schools this fall to hopefully get in for Fall '08....and I'm really glad that I decided to sign up for CNA classes to get the experience. This is what I've always wanted to do and I can't believe I'm actually going to do it. Just wanted to share the good news. :monkeydance:

soon2bnurse1 12 Posts Jun 3, 2007 THat is sooo great dreamy eyes! I am experiencing the same thing! I was finally accepted in my cna classes while i attend nursing school for my rn! I always felt that it was never going to happen, because Most of my life I always wanted to be a nurse! I went to school and graduated with A.S. in medical assisting and felt like a failure because I could never find a job! But I am on the right path i think so again congrats to u and we both be successful nurses one day!:cheers: :wink2:
