My question off the original post is what if you were given a verbal offer to residency A, accepted the position and signed a contract. But then, you were offered a position in residency B (preffered residency) before residency A began the program. I do understand that it is very important not to burn any bridges in the nursing realm, but wanted to know if it changes anything if you were offered the preffered residency before you began any new grad program.

Thanks for the info, newrnsk7! Do you know if the information for that will ever be posted on their RN Training Programs website in the near future? Also, do you know what will we be needing for the application? Is there an essay portion?

I am finishing up my first year in a BSN program in California. I want to gain some extra experience over the summer, so I am looking to work at a facility over the summer, and then into the fall. I've heard some differences between becoming a student nurse versus a CNA. Personally, I would ideally like to work full time over the summer, but once school begins again in the fall semester, I would like to cut down to one or two shifts at most a week. Given that, schedule flexibility is key for me. I want to gain the most experience I can out of working, so I want to apply for a position where I can be as hands-on and involved as possible. I know that as a student nurse, you do not need to have any certification, but a CNA requires certification. What are the pros and cons of a student nurse vs. CNA? I've also heard some people recommend becoming a nurse tech. I am a little lost on to which is the better route to apply, so any feedback would be appreciated!
