I think everyone should go for there CNA licence before you become an RN but after you graduate i recomend not working in a nursing home or a hospital right off the bat. I worked in a nursing home for about 3 months after I became a CNA and it was awful, they treat ppl like there only there so they can make money, and thats not right, if your going to become a CNA make sure you want to take care of ppl before you think its a good job for you otherwise go for you RN because CNA's should be kind and good hearted people, not just anyone can hack it. Home health care is the best way to go if your CNA, it gives elderly people a chance to stay home, gives the person caring for them more of a chance to get to know them and its better for there health.
