So I had just finished my first quarter of college. I did pretty well so I'm hoping the next quarters will fly by... I am on a transfer degree for pre-nursing and I know it is a competitive field. I want to become a CNA due to its benefits and skills I can get my hands on as well as getting paid! So I know I should be finishing the pre-nursing courses later next year and was wondering if it is a good idea to go through becoming and working as a CNA while taking college courses or after taking the courses? I don't plan on working a lot because I already have trouble fitting in some study time. If I do not plan on working as CNA now, should I do that after taking college courses? But when I apply to transfer to a university I wouldn't be able to put CNA as experience on my college resume/application after finishing pre-nursing courses (knowing that there is a waitlist)?
