And since the majority of the interview we talked about the nursing job & not the CNA job I am hoping that means that I'll be able to just walk into the RN job when it's time.

Once you get the hang of it, like the pace and patient population, you'll feel really comfortable and the transition to RN will be much easier!

In most hospitals once you write your board and become a RN, you are not allowed to work as a CNA in that hospital, because of liability and other legal crap. So they would either let her go or hire her as an RN, and have to go through the whole process of hiring and training a new CNA. <br />I have known a few CNA who were in nursing school and then had to quit and wait for the next hiring cycle. For new grads hospitals tend to hire 2-4 times a year and based on their budgets and training schedules <br /><br /> NPOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669816146120005101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371007066415015499.post-38019467154530569842013-04-13T17:20:11.173-05:002013-04-13T17:20:11.173-05:00Yeah that's what everyone keeps telling me.

Plus, when she interviewed me we talked more about the nurse's role than the PCT role anyway. So I took that as a good sign.
