CNA experience?

Hey everyone!

I am looking to apply to an ABSN program next year once I graduate. Highly qualified applicants are those who have CNA experience. I was a CNA 11 years ago, fresh out of high school, before I married a military man. :) Now that we are stationed overseas, I will have to go home for a few months to complete CNA training (which is the minimum requirement).

My question is this: After finishing the 3 week CNA training, would it be okay to get a job for 3 months with the intention of moving back overseas? I need the experience to be highly competitive for the program, but I would feel bad taking a job knowing I'd only be there for 3 months. I don't want to be away from my husband any longer than that. Thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated! :)

    If you were a CNA already, does that not count as experience? I know it's not current, but it makes me ask why the experience is important to them. For instance, do they just want to know that you have enough experience to KNOW that you can handle this and it is really what you want to do, or is it because they won't have to teach you as much if you already know some of what you are doing? I would call the program you are looking into and ask them. Then you might not even have to worry about it!
