Being a cna really helps with experience and will make you a better nurse when you finally get there. Most non-profit nursing homes will pay back your cna tuition because in some states it is the law.

Sometimes making silly acronyms helps with studying especially if you're taking hard classes like anatomy. And of course, flash cards are good (i know some websites have study help too like games and such). I found it was also helpful for me to study with groups of peers who were smarter than me so i could learn from them and be challenged to do better. Another thing that helped was getting out of the house and going to coffee shops so i was forced to make the most of my time.
