hi everyone, this is my first post on this site and i was hoping you could provide some advice. i currently have a business degree and work in accounting, but have been contemplating going back to school for nursing for quite some time. i think it is something that i will enjoy; however, i am a little hesitant - probably because i already selected one career that didn't work out and that i don't enjoy at all. an RN i know suggested that i take a CNA course and work as a CNA for a bit before applying to nursing school to get a feel for the field. they warned that a CNA job is not an RN job, but thought that it would provide exposure to the environment and people and allow me to observe the process. so, wanted to know what other RNs out there thought...is it wise to first "test-run" a CNA job to get a feel for the profession? has anyone done something similar? thanks!!
