  1. Can Being a CNA Help You Decide If Nursing Is Right For You?

    Dexter72 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students
    Hi, I'm a 37 male who is looking for a career change and am seriously thinking about going to nursing school. I just wondered if becoming a CNA and working in a hospital would help me decide if nursing is for me. I know CNA and nursing are two different animals, but as it stands I really have no insight as to the day to day of nursing. I worked as a Phlebotomist for 2 years and really loved interacting with patients (which is why I am thinking about nursing as a career) but that is no where near the time and effort that nurses spend with patients not to mention all the other stuff they have to deal with. I guess I've read so many horror stories on the internet about how bad nursing is these days that I don't want to go in blindly and would like to see what I may be getting myself into before I head back to college. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks p.s. Do 37 year old, male CNA's even exist?
