cna now required on rn application

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

They just changed that this year and while I think its great for rn students to learn and hopefully later on get be kinder to cnas, I think its going to do some bad around here.

One its going to flood the cna market where right now salaries are good and employment is guaranteed.

Two in this bad economy a lot of well meaning people who won't stand a chance at rn but need a better paying job or even just a job thats not laying off will have a hard time getting into the classes. Right now our instructor gets over a dozen calls a day about cna classes and they fill up quick.

here it is not required but it looks good when you apply for NS. It shows that you have some nursing exp and your not starting school with out a clue.

I've always thought that it would be better for a RN to have had some CNA experience. I can see your point though!
