You're welcome! I went to the informational workshop this morning. It's not required now, but it's still a good idea to do it because the CNA license is worth 5 pts on the application, and relevant work is an additional 5 pts.
Hi! I'm also planning to apply in Fall 2019. Incase you haven't become aware, they JUST changed this on 4/24... CNA license is no longer required to apply (for now)
