Work Question / Vent EDITED

She is asking if she needs to re take the classes to be a nurse. She took them in 2009 but never took the final boards to get the certification. She wants to know if she waited to long in between.

She loves her job now, but it is too stressful and cannot do it from home. Also, she has always wanted to be in nursing therefore needs to know if she needs more classes.

Sorry I dont have any advice for you, but if nursing is what you want to do and be then do it! When you go to the nursing home ask they might know or might be able to find you someone who does.

Good luck!

You most likely make more now than what you would as a CNA. You will make about $10-12 as a CNA....maybe .....some make less.

I don't know your situation, but try calling or looking up your states licensing agency and finding out exactly wha tyou need to do. In the meantime, see if you can get FAFSA if you want to go back to school in the future. I get how hard it can be with kids. I have 3 young ones, work full time and go to school full time. However, you can do it! Let your kids be your motivation! As far as your current job, if you were reading while on the clock, yeah, that could tick a boss off. Try asking her when you are slow if there is anything else she would like you to do!

I do not understand your question. Could you reword it? I think you are saying you love the job you have, you were given extra work so it is stressful and then someone is picking on you. I don't understand why you apologized? Were you reading a book? So now, to get the jist of this, it looks like you took a job after or somewhere when you were about to have a baby, you loved it til May, and they pick on you. But you have almost the ability to get a nursing certification? So do you want us to encourage you to do that? don't know about Iowa boards but good luck in your endeavors.

I'd ask when you're at the nursing home, they should know what's what!
