Re: Mardi Gras Randoms
GVSU, that's funny about the comic sans. Not too professional, I'd say.
JuliD, I do recall us discussing your BIL & SIL before. How are they doing these days? Better, hopefully?
Meh, they're about the same as before. :-/
It's sunny outside and I want to be outside
GVSU - that just made me laugh.
I'm hoping I don't make potential interview faux paus.
I'm switching careers from accounting to nursing. Do entry-level nurses (CNA) wear suits on intervivews? or nice, church type clothes? What about the resume? Pretty much all my resume skills are use-less, except for being detail oriented, multi-task, things like that.
I really need to find someone to mentor me on this stuff.
I'm a CNA. I typically wear black dress pants, heels and a dressy button down shirt.
I would find some way to get a little experience...maybe by volunteering? But make sure you do volunteering with a facility AND with someone in their homes. I've noticed having experience, even "non professional", goes a long way. Bonus points if you help with a dementia/Alzheimer's patient
That's always a big deal.

I have no voice, my eyes were pasted shut with goo this morning, and washing the dishes from lunch has exhausted me. I have a some anger with winter germs and my patheic immune system. I also have a dr's appointment this afternoon with not-my-own doctor. Getting to see her when sick is nearly impossible. Grrr...
And on the flip side... Henry is being kinder to me today, Jim had meetings, so I had the laptop and finished my homework, and we have good health insurance.
PS: Happy International Women's Day, ladies.
Thanks for the tips!!!
I start the CNA program next month, and it's a 5 week program. I'm hoping to get a job with one of the hospitals where I live. They tend to have better benefits - like paying for nursing school!!!
You're welcome
I really enjoyed my class, but mine was only 4 weeks (some are only 2!!). If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me 
And I agree about the hospitals...just a warning: it can be hard to get in to a hospital as a CNA sometimes, because a lot of them will only hire a very small amount of them.

No joke....I kept thinking of you in my staff meeting. I was going to FB you tonight to tell you.
I noticed they don't have many openings. I'm in Vegas = LOTS of hospitals.
My Dr sees patients at one of the larger hospitals in town, and he offered to put in the word for me - I've been his accountant for 5 years, so he knows i'm a hard worker well enough to refer me. I'm still nervous I won't get a decent job.
