Hello, I'm looking to apply to an accelerated nursing program and I have zero healthcare background. Originally, I wanted to go to a local community school and study in their nursing program(associated degree). The local community school has a nurse aide training program as a prerequisite to the RN program. I registered the nurse aide training but haven't started yet. Recently I was told that the RN program in that community school had a very long waiting list that I would never actually get into the real nursing program. So I decided to change the plan to apply to an accelerated nursing program(Bachelor's or Master's with Direct Entry) instead. I did some research and found that accelerated nursing programs typically wouldn't require nurse aide training. Now I'm wondering, do I still need to go to the nurse aide training? If nurse aide training dose not help anything with RN program, then probably I should drop the nurse aide course since I still have many prerequisite courses to study, and that can save me some time and money as well. But I don't know whether nurse aide training will benefit me to understand the job as a nurse or nurse student if I get into an RN program. Can I have some advice? Thank you!!
