Cna?

Hey everyone!!! I had a question...I am doing my health science bachelors first like i said before and will apply to the accelerated bachelors program in nursing once i am finished...so I spoke to my counselor and she said that I need to be a CNA first because then I will have a better chance of getting in to the accelerated program, she also said that I need it because this way the nursing school knows that I am really interested in becoming a nurse and they prefer if I have previous knowledge... my question is if you guys think it is necessery for me to become a CNA first especially since I still have so many classes to take to finish my first bachelors...will this CNA thing make that much difference??? If someone has any suggestions please let me know!!!

To answer your question, yes it will make a difference. But you might want to other CNAs on their forum. This is particualr forum os for aspiring CRNAs.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Ok - maybe it is me, but why would CNA be the one to answer a question about whether CNA should be requirement for nursing school? Seems like a question for nurses and/or advanced nurses to answer.

Personally, if you have never done any patient care, I think CNA experience would be very helpful. Not sure it is required - most of my class never were CNA and they are some of the best nursing students (now nurses and advanced nurses I know). But for several of us new to nursing initially, the CNA experience certainly helped us gain experience, learn hands on, and most important - learn how important CNA's are to a patient and how they help the nurse do a good job when they do a good job :-)
