First stop CNA next stop RN

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I'm super geeked right now. I start a CNA program on monday. After working countless jobs in a call center I decided to try to get into a CNA program here at a local community college while I finish my pre reqs for the BSN program. The great thing about this is since its not covered thru financial aid a local workforce center is paying for it. Wish me luck

Congrats! I'm a PCT (CNA) at a hospital, and going to nursing school in the summer! I like my job and love my patients! I agree, being a CNAis a great way to start! Good luck on your test! The written part was a breeze for me, skills was pretty easy too it's just nerve racking with someone watching your every move. If you know your skills you will do great though!!! Let us know your progress! ??

Happy New Year and Good Luck to everyone embarqing on this path!

I cant tell you how excited I am to be starting CNA classes in two weeks! Also working on prereqs for nursing school and working part time as a massage therapist for a chiropractor. Hope I'll survive this semester! I really hope to get a hospital job once I am certified, hoping 7 years of massage and 2 years as a birth doula will help. My son's friend's mom works security for a local hospital and just offered her recommendation when I get around to applying. Hope this will be enough.

Just curious, how many of you are using Lippencott's Essentials and how many Mosbys?

For those who have already started their CNA programs, anything especially important you think we should know going in?

Thanks! And Happy Studying to us all!
