FutureNurse

I did not pick the topic of this assignment. Our nursing professor informed us that ADN programs, at least in our area, required being a CNA before entering the program. As we're finding out, that is not the case in many areas outside of Milwaukee. Our professor does favor the BSN program because she works for one. Makes sense. Thanks so much for replying! Any information is helpful because this topic is hard to research and your imput was definitely helpful. :)

My nursing class is doing a presentation on whether or not students entering a BSN program should or should not be required to be a CNA beforehand. I'm looking for some feedback and thought you all could help. So the question is... Is being a CNA important to do before becoming a nurse? I know most ADN programs require students to be CNA's but for a BSN do you feel it should be required as well? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Any feedback would be helpful. :)

Thank you all, very much. You were very helpful. I'm kicking myself right now for not coming to you first. Have a wonderful day! -FutureNurse :)

Okay, it's not really a specific nursing question but I haven't been able to find the answer and nobody else has known it. I should have probably asked you guys first, but...hopefully you can still help. I would like to donate blood but I take a prescription med, to prevent migraines that I get, Amitriptyline. How long does it take for that to get out of my blood stream? Thanks! Have a grrrreat day!
