Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello, I just got accepted into the CNA program at Riverside in Newport News, VA. I am also finishing up pre nursing classes at TNCC to apply to nursing school.

I want to know how it was for you.

How was the actual program?

How was it getting the job after certification?

where is the best place to work? retirement community or the hospital etc.??

which shift is better? labor pool? 12s three days a week etc.

are you able to say...pick only night shifts for a while??? ( important)

what is the pay like? are there differentials?

A specific question: I already sent them recommendation forms with the application but once i was accepted they said they wanted references at the start of the class. Do I just need the contact info or do i need to ask for two more letters like i did for the application? Im a little confused. Probably just over thing since I have never been accepted to a program like this.

PLEASE. ANY HELP, ADVICE, OR EXPERIENCE YOU WANT TO SHARE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL :)
