Hi Shanna, CNA stands for Certified Nursing Assistant. It may not be the most appealing job, but it is very rewarding. I've been told the best RN's started as CNA's. During my Clinicals I became attached to a few patients and still visit them every week.
No, I don't want to go back to school to become a Nurse Practictier - requires more schooling. Next semester I'm working on my Phlebotomy Certificate.
I do take back my comment that Austin doesn't get snow! Also it doesn't surprise me the city shut down. Austin people do not know how to drive in bad weather, LOL I figured that out my first winter in Austin driving on ice. Yikes - it was SCARY. Shanna, no offense taken? Right?
BTW, do you grow up in Austin? What are you studying in school?
