Also once you hit Nusing 101 I hear it is very demand. I day clinical 8-3:30, lecture 8-12:00 and lab 8:12. Then after nursing 101, clinical is two days, and half day lab, half day lecture. Needless to say I will have to go part time in finance job and work as CNA on the weekend to suppliment for loss in income. I make about 16.50 an hr as a CNA about $6 less than I make with my Finance degree

I took the CNA class while I was in High school and I was a CNA all through college until I got my BS in Finance. However, I kept my CNA perdiam so that I do not loose it and can keep it on my resume through nursing school. Maybe try CNA school during your winter or summer break. It is definatly worth it.

I have been working as CNA for 7 years and I am now in nursing and will contiune to work as a CNA on the weekends. It is an excellent experiance and I think it will make you a better, more appreciative nurse.

Hi, I have been a CNA for 7 years working with Alzheimers residents and I love it!!!! I have a BS in Finance and realized that it is not what I want to do with my life and I am now going to school for nursing. All I have left is A&P2 and I can then start nursing 101. Being a CNA is an excellent way to get a feel for nursing and I think it makes you a better nurse. All the nurses that I have worked with that use to be CNA's are the nicest and most helpful ones!! They really understand the hard work that the CNA's go through because they use to be one. Oh and the demand is pretty good..there are soo many CNA options..home health care, hospitals, private care, convelescent homes and the list goes on!! Good luck and if you have any question feel free to ask me!!
