Student Nurse wanting to work as CNA

[RFederer]

I am currently a student nurse finishing up my first semester in school. I am on clinical rotation right now. I am not a CNA but was wondering if I would be able to take the test to become one without having to go through training since I am in school. I go to school full-time so fitting in anymore classes would not work. I would like to work as a CNA part-time to gain more experience. Someone had mentioned this to me but I can't remember where I heard it. I currently reside in Indianapolis, Indiana. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this makes a difference, I am looking to apply at the nursing home I currently on rotation at, thanks!

Nah, just go straight to the nearest mental hospital and commit yourself....Just kidding~

Work hard at your nursing degree, and be aware of the struggles of nursing assistants (be their best advocates) but do not be a nursing assistant if you can avoid it!
