I'm a second semester BSN nursing student, and i really would like to start getting some experience as soon as possible. I was wondering if it would be recommended for me to get my CNA over the summer so that i can begin working. I am unsure if i should do this however because i know that after a certain point Nursing students are able to sit for the CNA exam without having taken the course. Is it still worth it to take the CNA course now?
