If anybody can guide me into the right direction when it comes to how to be a CNA while I'm still in school getting my BSN? I am a second semester sophomore and was wondering how is this possible. thanks!

I got my CNA in North Carolina, I remember getting a "license" from the state, but I can't remember how I got it. I remember the school saying we qualify after our first semester/quarter of nursing school. Check either with your school or the BON of nursing in NC.

Good luck! Welcome to Allnurses!

What is the BON of Nursing? and is there a number or email to them so i can get this thing popping?

Hi, gazelle!

You can get all kinds of information about becoming a CNA on this forum on allnurses: http://allnurses.com/forums/f265/ - the CNA – Nursing Assistant Discussions forum. There is a thread there that has a link to your state nurse aid registry where you can get the information you need. Or, you can post a question there to get help from other CNAs.

You should also check out the other nursing student forums on allnurses. You can see a list of them here: http://allnurses.com/forums/f196/
