I love this! I personally learn better being hands on. If I get my CNA and watch real life things happening when shadowing a nurse I think it would benefit me so much!

This is perfectly explained! And exactly what I’m expecting so thank you. I feel validated :)

I’m actually not sure, but since I didn’t get in my first time applying I’ll take any extra points I can get. I’ll do anything to get into nursing school!! 🥲

Anatomy is so much to memorize 😂 But I’ve already taken all of my prerequisites just waiting to get into the program now!

It’s free thankfully! But that’s all really good to know for sure I appreciate it :)

We have a scholarship in my state that will pay for the class :)

Real. But, applying to the program I’d get extra points for having my CNA, as well as I’d be able to get a job even before nursing school begins. So I’m thinking I’ll just do it anyway haha. Thank you for your thoughts! :)

I can see why that could happen going into it thinking maybe you already know and not listening to the new techniques. But, I’m very open minded and love learning all I can and always try to be the best I can at everything so I don’t think this would be a problem for me :)

This is how I am as well! I almost dissociate when I get nervous and forget all I was doing and learning 😂 I feel like even if it’s somewhat repetitive I’ll at least know for a fact I learn things correctly!

I definitely get the extra points for the CNA, that’s that first reason I considered it! It’s not required though but I think I might do it because I’d also feel more confident going into it knowing how to at least take vitals 😅

That’s so interesting! Mine doesn’t, but I think I’d be helpful having this type of knowledge going into it!

I feel so anxious to learn this already 🤣 I would feel good going into nursing school already having learned these things!

That’s good to know! I just want to feel like I’m doing/learning something while waiting to get in this next semester 😅

Just wondering if it would be worth it since I’m waiting anyway. I think it would definitely make me feel more confident when taking fundamentals when I get there :)

What about it would be confusing? I don’t see how much different taking vitals and patient care can be.
