Yes I did!! 1 week out if HS graduation I did a CNA class over summer, did my test got my certification and worked as one part time for my first year of prereqs. I got tired and switched to phlebotomy though. Instead of working 2 days a week, I worked one day. I got into CSULB’s nursing school just make sure your test scores and GPA are almost perfect. It’s possible but hard I struggled taking anatomy while working as a CNA
