CNA class dropped me - Sad :(

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I was enrolled in a community college for this fall to take pre nursing courses full time. The CNA class that I also enrolled in was at the same comm college and they just notified me that I can not do both. I called and asked why and the CNA director said that my work load for the semester is too much to do with the CNA class and that I should just choose one. She told me that if I am going for my nursing degree, to focus on that because that is more important for now and that I could just take a CNA class over the summer break.

=(

I was a bit surprised that they could just drop me like that...

Check out your state's board of nursing and see if there are any other approved CNA courses near you - maybe at a stand-alone nursing assistant school. I found one that is only a month long, which I am taking during my summer break before regular classes start, and it is a lot cheaper than the one at my CC. Just a thought.

Also, if it's not absolutely dire that you take the class right now, assuming you'll be in your nursing program in a year or two, you can get your CNA license and work as a nursing student after you take that first med-surg class anyway. You've got options :)
