Tips and tricks of applying to nursing program.

[changr]

I am a pre-nursing student currently at UWM. It was stupid of me and I didn't look at it closely but I just doubled check and I am suppose to apply to the nursing program at UWM in January 2016. I feel like I am still inexperienced and don'treally learn much. I was thinking of applying for my cna training in the summer 2016 but now that I checked it I want to start now. You can say I am an average student with 300+ volunteer hours and is currently volunteering at a nursing home and about to start volunteering at an Aurora Clinic. I am pretty scared because I know that I wont get in the first time. Since UWM is super competitive I am now looking into other programs.

Does anyone know other good programs in Milwaukee and recommend it?

I was wondering that is it too late for me to become a cna because I'm applying to the nursing program in January?

Any tips?

Thanks!

I don't suggest starting a CNA program if you've already been accepted into a nursing program. Most states allow student nurses to sit for the CNA exam after a certain number of courses/certain courses have been passed. No need to waste the money and time taking the CNA course if you don't need to.

Although I do highly suggest working as a CNA prior to becoming a nurse.
