What Job Should I Hold During BSN

[hudwell1204]

Hi All,

So I will be starting my nursing program this Spring 2025 and am attempting to find the best option for me as I will have to work part time in order to pay for school.  I am looking at PRN CNA positions as well as PRN Telemetry Tech positions as this would allow me to work 2 to 3, 12 hour shifts on weekends.  I am ultimately wanting to work in a level 1 trauma center ICU upon graduation before applying to CRNA programs.  I was curious if anyone held a part time PRN position whilst studying during their BSN studies, if it was feasible and which position you might suggest so as to be able to have a reputable resume coming out of school to land a job in a level 1 trauma ICU. 

Thank you for all of your insight!
