How flexible is a CNA job?

I'm considering doing CNA training before starting nursing school, so I can get some hands on experience and earn money at the same time. Does anyone know how flexible a CNA position is? Can I choose the days/hours I want to work?

You can work PRN which leaves you with a flexible schedule, but not a guarantee of hours.:mad:

It really depends on the facility. A lot of places are really good with students, but some aren't. Hours and shifts often depend on what they have open. A day shift position can be really hard to get.
