New CNA

Published

Greetings,

I am so delighted that this site is available to us. I am starting a CNA program on December 2, 2013. I am looking forward to where it will lead me. I am currently volunteering at a well known hospital in Atlanta. I believe giving back is very important. "For much is given, much is required". I figure it will also help me get my foot in the door once I complete my CNA course. I have been attending college for 13 months now. the classes that I have been taking are classes that are in the Nursing Curriculum. No sciences as of yet due to having to pass a math class that does not even count towards my GPA (that's another post :) My ultimate goal is to be a NP. I am 47 basically starting over. This is a second career for me. My dad always said nursing is a great career to enter into, I must agree especially after reading so many post on this site. I started my prereqs many moons ago, but raising the children was a priority. They are grown up now, so I have decided to finish what i first started. I have been considering bauder college. I understand they do not request any prereqs. I have taken the wonderlick test and did not pass. I have not been back since (that was June 2011) Part of me was fearful to retake the test, and another part of me just got busy. I would love to work in the L&D as a CNA. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me along my journey? Thanks for allowing me to share my story
