Penn Nursing Summer Institute?

Published

Found this online and it really sounds like something I'd be interested in. It does cost a lot but I have some years still left to raise money. Has anybody attended? If not, do you think it'd be good to do prior to becoming a CNA? Thanks!

I looked up the program and to me it looks more like something for high school juniors and seniors who are thinking about pursuing nursing as a career. From the information they provide, I don't see how much would actually apply to being a CNA.

Sorry, phrased that badly. I want to be a nurse but am not old enough to CNA so I was curious if y'all thought this would be good experience for me, so that I could do something nursing related before becoming a CNA. Sorry about that!

If that is the case then it does sound like a good program to give you some insight about the different fields of nursing and also some clinical time shadowing a nurse.

Rest assured, if it is at Penn, it is good. Enjoy.
