Anyone starting the RSAA CNA day program in Jan. (2010)?

I think so. I looked through a lot of other threads on RSAA here after I posted that, and almost everyone really liked them. So, I haven't put my deposit in yet, but I think I will this weekend.

Did you take the day, evening, or weekend program? Any advice on the course itself?

Thanks!

I hear ya. I already have zero desire to be a CNA , but I'm so excited to start working (hopefully) in a hospital setting and my RN grad date is looking like Dec. 2012. I have to start somewhere...

I have to wait until I have AZ residency (August) before I can apply to the BNFP. The next cohort I'll be eligible for is March 2011. However, by then I will have all of my pre-reqs for the ASU BSN program and can start just before the BNFP program, graduate a few months later, but with a BSN instead of an ASN. So if I ever get a' hankerin' to spend another 2 years in school after getting my RN, it will be for my Masters.

BUT - either way, I have at least just over a year before I can get into a program (I'll also apply at MCCC in May as a fall back), so I'll need to work in the mean time. I could earn a lot more money doing what I used to do, but I'd rather get my feet wet and get some experience in health care.

Thanks for the advice! That's good to hear that I might be able to get a job at a hospital, but also good to know that I will be doing LTC for clinicals (didn't know). Also good to know that I should start applying as soon as I'm out. I'd really like to apply at Banner. Have you heard anything about new CNAs getting jobs there?
