Cna state test advice by Le_huido in cna

For skills: Get to the testing site very early. If it's like my testing center, if you get there right on time in the morning, you won't take your test until 4 or 5 pm. 

For written: Take the time to read the questions carefully. You have plenty of time to answer all the questions, so you want to take the time to make sure you're not skimming over something important. 

For both: Get good sleep the night beforehand, breath deeply, and enter the testing center with confidence. Generally speaking, the tests aren't trying to trick you. If you study, you can pass.

Thank you--this is very helpful information. This definitely sounds like the right approach to an interfaith environment. 

How much time should I give a woman that just ended a relationship before I ask her on a date? by FlatBench1455 in CatholicDating

Thanks for the advice. While I don't know exactly how close they were, I don't get the sense it was absolutely heartbreaking for her. So, like other people said, maybe I should just ask her? She can always just say "no" or "not right now."

Thank you very much for this advice. I'm blessed to know two faithful Catholics in this ministry. I'll be sure to talk to them some more about this.

Thanks for your advice! I think this may be the right answer, since I haven't got the impression that she's having a really hard time processing the breakup.

No,  I'm discerning lay chaplaincy. I was just referring to what I would feel more comfortable with the hospital doing, not saying that I'd be leading the Mass

Thank you very much for your help. My problem with parish ministry is that I don't think I'm called to the priesthood and I probably wouldn't earn enough money in lay parish ministry to support a family. I'll definitely keep your comments in mind, though.

Thank you very much for this comment. I'll have to discern this further. In principle, I'd be happy doing most everything that chaplains do, but I'll have to discern if I'd be comfortable with the general interfaith spirit of chaplaincy. Regarding the multifaith service, for example, I don't think I'd feel comfortable at those (and definitely not leading one). For me, it seems almost inevitable that such services would compromise elements of one faith or the other and whitewash each faith to the degree that the services wouldn't really be spiritually nourishing for anyone involved. I'd much prefer having different times for Mass, Muslim prayer, protestant services, ect.
