Hi - I'm not sure what to do on this one. I'm thinking of getting my CNA but I've heard it's a lot of butt wiping and horrible work. I'm going to start volunteering and job shadowing and I'm wondering if this will give me good experience/exposure to nursing so I can bypass being a CNA? In your experience, do most new nurses have previous health care experience?
Thanks for all your feedback!!!
SWEE we must be from the same area in Wisconsin. I have looked on many college and technical school websites in Wisconsin( working on my MSN in education and looking at where I might teach in the future)ALL of them require CNA prior to applying to LPN or RN program.

What part of WI are you in? I'm in Waukesha County, just outside of Milwaukee.
