Potential cna student & nervous ! Help plz!

[MahoganyLove]

Im currently at a university and ive realized that its not for me and i should have gone with my gut and got into the health care field like i really wanted to. But ive recently decided to get into a CNA program. Im so nervous because i dont want to pick the wrong school and not get the education i need and deserve if im going to pay for it out of pocket. Im more scared to pay this $300 to $800 tuition and not get the experience ill need since every job ive looked into requires atleast 1 yr experience. Im beyond scared and i really need some help or jus a little encouragement.

You will do great. If you already had your "gut" feeling about the health care feild then that shows that you can do it! CNA was so much fun for me. Look around on allnurses and you can find a repuatible program in your area. I did mine through the local community college and loved it! If you can't find any info on a program in your area-Ask some of the nursing students that you know-Most states require a CNA certification before nursing school so they will know about the local programs and can tell you what to expect. Good luck!!
