I have been a cna for 13 going on 14 years in december and i love my job. The only thing is i have been trying to get in to the nursing program her in south dakota and have been rejected for 3 yrs in a row now. They talk about the shortage of nurses but they only take a limited amount of people in the programs. Ever since i started working as a cna i have wanted to be a nurse because it is so rewarding being able to help others. So right now i am just waiting for the time to reapply again to see if i can get in.

Keep applying and you'll eventually get into nursing school. I wasn't accepted on my first try either. Maybe you should try applying to a few programs so that you'll have many choices. I know many nursing schools that give extra points to CNAs. Good luck!

I'm a fresh graduate, still waiting for the result of the board examination. It's really fun being a nurse -- helping doctors, assisting people, dealing with patients... I'm quite excited working as a nurse with my own license. The compensation may may be terrible in my country and the work hours are long, but I love the job.
