Will Vo Tech Help?

Published

I am a sophmore in high school and it is my dream to attend the nurse anesthesia program at pitt university. But first I have to attend a college like Mount Aloysius where I can recieve a bachelors in nursing.

Next year I wanted to attend a vo tech, where I can get certified as a CNA my senior year. I was wondering if this would be helpful in reaching my goal or if I should keep in regular school?

It wont help you at all as far as obtaining your CRNA goes. But it is always helpful to have patient contact experience. Working as a CNA will definitely give you that

The CNA class can be helpful both in gaining experience with patients and learning the basics. Many RN and BSN programs require that you take a CNA class before starting the program. I am taking one now since my first choice program requires it.
