Would it be a good idea to take a phlebotomy course while I am waiting to get into nursing school?? This way I can start working in a hospital environment before nursing😊 And if so, can anyone recommend a good certification school in South Florida? Preferably Broward county. And if it's not a good idea to do phlebotomy, can anyone advice me on what course can i take to start working at a hospital asap?!

Your best bet is to get a CNA certification. You will easily be able to get a job, where you'll work closely with nurses and learn a bunch!

Where's the best place to get the certification here in SoFl?
Thank you, as a matter of fact. Today I started my 2 week course to get my CNA. I called the school regarding the phlebotomy class and they gave me your same advice. And coincidentally today they were starting their class. They also said that if I get my PCT I would get more job opportunities at a better pay while i do my RN. Now, Should I do it? Or should I just work as a CNA and focus on doing my RN?
PS: I'm supper excited that I'm finally starting on the path of becoming a RN í ¾í´—í ¾í´—
