Hello all,
This is my very first post. I am a senior in an online business program. I want to go into nursing as a backup. I have a family member who advised me to take a three week course at a local hospital to get my CNA license, and work there for a minimum of three weeks prior to venturing out into private care.
My question is- Will the possession of a CNA license and a few weeks of private in-home care allow me to gain any transfer credit towards an ADN? I ask because there are no prerequisite courses available at my local community college; and perhaps I may not need a course or two if i would actually gain CLEP or some sort of transferable unit credits as a licensed CNA. I want to get my ADN asap.
