Hello all I really want to become a nurse. Right now I am in a community college taking the pre-requisites. I read a lot of forums about nursing schools and getting a job as a new grad, almost everyone says it is hard to get work as a new nurse without any experience. My question is should I get my cna certification in the meantime and work as a cna until I get my degree? Or should I stick with the job I have now and finish the schooling at the community college and get my associates or switch to a bachelors program? Just want to hear everyone's suggestions.
