Balancing Nursing School & Working as a CA

[Smwill2901]

Hi everyone! During nursing school, I worked as a Clinical Associate (CA) on a cardiac telemetry floor, and it was one of the best decisions I made. It helped me build my fundamental skills, gain confidence in patient care, and get comfortable in the hospital setting—all while reinforcing what I was learning in class. For those who are currently working as a CNA, MA, or CA while in school, how has your experience been? And for anyone considering it, I would be happy to share advice on balancing work and nursing school. Let's chat!
