I took CNA classes last summer, this summer I'm actually looking into getting a cna jo somewhere...any suggestions besides a hospital? i looked into home health care but was told not to do that, was thinking about doin assisted living but I just wanna do something i enjoy, this will be my first job in the health care field and i'm kinda nervous! I'm still in school and hoping/PRAYING to get into a nursing school SOMEWHERE when I apply haha...I would really love to go into neonatal eventually or something to do with babies..though..i dont want one of mine own anytime soon Smile

but...any words of advice from other nurses around here is greatly appreciated!!!!

thank you! I'm really looking forward to getting into nursing school...kinda stressed out about applying its really competetive...i'm really nervous about getting a cna job as well...i dont know why really...i filled out an application for home health care but they said I needed 1 year experience...i put on the application that I didn't have the one year experience but still got a call back so..i guess we'll see how that goes
