Should I get another job as a CNA?

I have just finished my second semester of nursing school. We get the summer off and then we finish up the next school year. It's an ASN program btw. I have been looking for a hospital job since probably about Dec. and just recently got a job as a Unit Secretary because I knew someone who gave me a recommendation. I like being a unit secretary so far, but I realize I would rather be a tech. I talked to a supervisor and she said that it would be very unlikely for me to train as a PST this summer. I understand that, but now my dilemma is should I get a second job at a LTC or ALF as a CNA to get the hand on experience I want?

In addition, I work another job on top of this one at a retail store so a second job is not completely out of the picture for me. And it would be just for the summer.
