I'm 18 years old in college and I was thinking of getting my CNA certificate over the summer break and then doing some part-time work so I can gain some experience and also strengthen my nursing school application. The thing is, I'm taking classes over the summer as well so I don't know if I will even be able to work. My worry is that I'll spend money on taking classes and then I won't be able to find work that fits with my class schedule. And even if I can fit work into my summer class schedule, I am not sure if I will be able to work during the fall/spring semesters when I'm a full-time student. I'll only be able to work Saturdays and Sundays during the fall/spring semesters, so I don't even know if that's enough to make me qualify as a part-time worker. If there are any CNAs in NYC that can give me some insight, I would be forever grateful.
