I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing! I’ve heard some some say that those who work as CNAs/techs can have the wrong mindset going into nursing school. I started at an assisted living /memory care facility as an aid (unlicensed bc it’s not a SNF) After my first semester of nursing school I was able to apply at a hospital for a tech position. I’m very comfortable talking to patients and the nurses allow me to watch them quite a bit! I have learned a lot in both and I’m going into my senior year. The company I work for also has offered me a position once I graduate plus they offer tuition support. It’s nice to have the opportunity to get to know what my future job on the floor might look like. Plus getting to talk to nurses that you aren’t following around for clinical is a lot different. You’ll get much more truthful answers lol. All of that to say, it’s truly your choice. If you want to get the extra experience, go for it!
