that's so awesome! congrats!! :)

Well, I took the Pharm tech national exam. Passed, but the job was boring. So, I continued to be a CNA at a nursing home even though I could have been making an extra dollar or more with much easier duties. haha. I'm still at that nursing home and I just recently applied to a hospital right by...

awesome. thank you thank you. =) I was in college headed towards occupational therapy, but it doesn't have that energy I'm looking for.
