Hello! I just got admitted into nursing school () and now I'm wondering if I should pursue a CNA license in the summer. I didn't do the whole CNA thing in highschool, so I'd have to take the time out and pay for training now. I'd like to do this because 1. I really don't want to stick around much after graduation, so I want to have as much experience on my resume as I can so I move around easier 2. I want to shift from relying on my parents to be self-sufficient - which basically means I want to be paid enough to live and go through school and have health insurance. I live in a small town and by time I could get a CNA job, I'd have about 1.5 calendar years left in school. Based on your experience, my objectives, and my situation, would you say that this a good plan or no? Thanks so much for your advice! :)
