I'm a new college student. I plan on starting college SPRING 2013. My classes for that semester are Math, English, Biology, and Chemistry. I was thinking to also take a 4 week CNA course. Good Idea? Have any of you guys done this before?My second option is to just take the CNA courses instead of starting my pre-reqs. Because either way, I do need a job.
ShadowPlanet 38 Posts Oct 27, 2012 If your schedule will allow it, and you can handle it, why not?I'm planning on taking the CNA course (roughly 6 weeks) in the Spring as well. It runs from roughly 6:00a to 4:00p (different days have different start/end times) Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday.I'm assuming the time slots will work with Anatomy & Physiology 2 which is Tuesday and Thursday from 5:50p to 7:05p with lab from 7:15p to 9:55p (I signed up for Tuesday's lab but we can go to both labs (or were allowed to this semester anyway; same instructor))I'll probably take an elective (Philosophy or Intro to Cinema since I failed those when I was younger and need to replace them to boost my GPA and they'll work toward the BSN program I'm interested in) online also.

If you feel like you can do it take the leap.
