Certification prior to nursing school? Helps or No?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Just wondering if any of you had any certifications prior to nursing school? EMT, LTE, CNA, etc.

I'm dabbling in the idea of getting one, since I have another few semesters left of pre reqs(hoping to apply fall 2014), so I'm just curious if it's helped.

Of those classes, CNA should be the easiest. I was taking 17 credit hours when I took it.

So you think it's doable? I just need As. I might move medical terminology just to have one less.

Definitely a doable load. CNA training was pretty straight forward.

As long as my husband maintains the kids I should be good :) I already have all the requirements except my CPR card needs updated...ouch. Lol

Again thank you!!

Medical terminolgy is easy, just memorization/vocab. You can do that.
