Required to take CNA course before entering nursing school?

[FutureIsBlue]

Hello everyone,

This could be the most stupid question I ever asked on this message board. I will be entering the nursing program in September; people have told me that it would be necessary to take a CNA course before you enter the program.

Does everyone have to be a certified nursing assistant before or during the nursing program?

I guess its dependant on the school and area. I start my nursing (RN) program in August and it is required here. Complete/ pass the 75 hr. course and to pass the state exam. I live in Ky.Good Luck. CRB613
