Hi everyone! I am new to this website but have constantly looked through it in order to help keep my sanity knowing others are going through the same things I am 21 and just changed my major from journalism to nursing a year ago (i know, super late) and have been having difficulty trying to start up again. There is an awesome tech school in my city where I plan to do my CNA in the fall since it is a short program, while I attend nursing school. The question is - did anyone do their CNA beforehand to gain experience? Was it worth it? Did it change your experience at all? Make it easier, harder? I just want to hear different experiences and opinions. I appreciate your help!!
