It is 18! Also, I learned so much depending on where you get a job as a CNA, it doesn't necessarily define a RN's job. So don't let it totally influence you, I would have I wouldn't have never went to Nursing school. lol But it's a great place to start and you can actually grown into other positions within hopsitals once you get your CNA under your belt. My favorite job was an ER Tech.

Well, I'm probably not the response you're looking for but I'm the real thing. I also, was accepted into Bellarmine's program. I started January 2006 and I loved the school. You truly get your monies worth. At the time I was working as ER Tech as well and after one semester I had to drop the program. There was no way I could possibly afford the tuition. After, all my grants and Stafford loan I needed a personal loan which for me was not an option. And I left Bellarmine with debt owed to the school. I took it very hard when I had to leave their program because I simply could not afford it. I honestly dont have any hard feelings toward the staff at Bellarmine but from day one I had great concern about the cost and many times I was told by staff to not worry about it, there was money out there to help cover the cost. Well I tried everything... and it just didn't work out for me but you may be able to get more help than me. Now, I do know many of the students at Bellarmine were Norton Scholars, received grant money, Stafford loans, and had help from their parents. At the time, I was 21 and one of the oldest people in the programs so many student were still living under their parents income as newly high school grads. I honestly, don't know a solution for paying tuition at Bellarmine. I think it's the best Nursing programs a student could ask for but for many it's just not financially sound. I wish you luck! Oh, another thing, yes a CNA will help you get a ER Tech position. It was required where I worked.
