CC and CNA at the same time?

hello everyone!

I am starting my prerequisite this coming fall at spokane cc. And after I do my first year I will be off for a year and a half before I will be able to start my nursing program because of the wait list. so I thought getting my CNA would be good idea so I can start working in the field. I will not need to work while doing either of these. I have no kids and my husband will be in another country while I am in school.

a few questions I have are: Is it a good idea to do both at the same time? or will I get overwhelmed doing both at the same time?

Here is what my classes will look like for the next year (only the first quarter is for sure)

1st quarter:

Psych 100

Bio 160 w/lab

Math 93

2nd quarter:

A&P I with lab

chem 101

Psych 200

3rd quarter

A&P II with lab

English 101

micobio with lab

I havent been to school in 6 years and that was highschool. the only time I see I would be able to do it is in the first quarter since I am told A&P is very hard, and my first quarter classes should be the easiest of them all, except English.

Any advice you could give is welcomed! thanks for reading

    I think you can easily do that. Some states require you to be a CNA before you can apply to an RN program. Go for it!

    Thanks for the reply, what I am worried about is how intense the CNA program is can anyone tell me? I think I will have to do a night program for 4 days a week for 7 weeks. I just dont want to over work my self.

    I dont think Washington requires you to have the CNA before nursing school.
