This isn’t well known, but you don’t need a certification to work as a CNA after you complete one semester of nursing school! You should wait and apply in the fall to get adjusted to the program...

For those applying to the Jax campus try to speak with someone currently in the program! We don't know a lot about it in our Gainesville cohort but we've heard some less than flattering things. Not...
