CNA doesn't cost $1000
Do it a local CC for not even 1/2 that.
and its only like 8 weeks and I think it would look good on a resume plus it will give you experience (that is if you actually USE your certificate) that other students may not have.
Its not required mostly, but I think its good to have anyway and if you got the time and money then get it

That price is a local community college. The core cost of the program is $725 not including books and scrubs (which are required additional expenses). Perhaps cheaper programs exist out there.. but I'm in Houston where things are generally a lot less expensive than California.. but mileage varies.
I think it depends on the nursing program you intend to enter. The first school I considered said, that you had to have CNA training and be on the registry. The second school (the one I will apply to shortly), said they don't even consider it when reviewing your application. I am still taking the training next month. I figure it will be a good way to get some experience in the health care environment and it wouldn't hurt. The training program I'm enrolled in at a local community college cost approximately $300. :)

Hello everyone!
My name is Savannah and I am currently a pre-nursing student hoping to get accepted to University of California, Los Angeles School of Nursing one day. I have heard from some people that becoming a CNA looks really good on nursing school applications and was wondering if anyone knows anything about whether or not that is true.
Does it really make a difference? And does it look better on an application? Is it worth it to do a cna program?
Any and all tips, hints and advice are welcomed!
Thank you! :)
