    DTCC PreRN replied to DTCC PreRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Should RN programs give extra points for working as a CNA?

    DTCC PreRN replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The first CC I was enrolled with did not have a point system. It was wait list only. They required all prospective RN's to have their CNA before they graduated. Working as a CNA was not a requirement....
