Who is taking a NAC or CNA course just because it's a prerequisite for a nursing program that they are applying for?
I feel a bit like I'm being forced to take a step backwards because I completed all my pre reqs with a 4.0 and an overal 3.85 but the school changed their admission to require a CNA course for applicants!
I know a CNAs job is not the same as an RN so why do schools requrie the class?
Has anyone changed their mind about becoming an RN or LPN/LVN because of the CNA course they took?
I hope to become a CNM and work as a Midwife at a free standing birth center and don't plan on working with the elderly at any point, except for when it is required for my education like doing a clinical at a LTC to get a CNA cert to apply for a RN program...Thanks for reaing my vent I appreciate any support!

Hi! I got a CNA because it's prereq.
Though, I didn't go to courses. I just watch video, read questions and passed NATO. Hope it will work for admission
