I am just wondering...what are the benefits of being a CNA? I got my CNA license about 5 years ago, and got another job doing home health kind of stuff with mentally handicapped and my CNA license is now expired. I have since taken my nursing courses required to get a CNA license and only need to sit in on the test, but am debating on whether I should. Would it be good experience for a soon to be nurse, or would it just be a waste of time. I just feel they make little money for the work that they do, and am currently making more. Would it be beneficial for me to get my CNA for the experience? Looking for advice on if I should get it!
