I keep hearing experienced nurses say that starting with CNA training is one of the best ways to build a strong foundation for a successful nursing career.?

My CNA instructor at Sisucare said the same thing based on her own experience, but I’m still curious what others think. Why do you think so many nurses recommend becoming a CNA first? Has starting as a CNA actually helped your nursing journey (confidence, patient skills, getting hired, etc.)? If you could start over, would you still choose the CNA first route? I’d love to hear your experiences and any pros or cons you’ve noticed.

Are there any free online CNA programs around San Jose?

I’ve found a couple online CNA courses, but in order to pass I need to attend the clinicals in-person. I’m struggling to find programs near San Jose/Santa Clara that are low-cost or free. Additionally, I’m a high school student who starts classes mid-August, so I need to make sure my school schedule doesn’t interfere with the online schedule.

If I'm in between careers what advice can you give me to help decide between the two?

I am a junior in high school who lives in Virginia. I want to go into the Air force for the benefits but I am already on track to becoming a high school graduating CNA I don't know exactly what the best option is for me and I am on the fence about everything. I want to know more about both fields before I jump head first into either career. I know that while being in the air-force I can also work as a CNA but I am not sure if there are any better options out there for me.

Has this journey and field taught you valuable life lessons?

I'm a firm believer that it's highly important to only chase a career that will ultimately teach you important things throughout and in the end. I do not want to spend my life miserable and not being of use to myself or anyone else in a positive way. What has the medical field taught you? I'm open to hearing the good and the bad.

hat do you find most rewarding about the medical field, specifically nursing?

Was the process worth where you're at now? I'm head strong at the fact that I'd never want to spend my life doing a career that didn't teach me anything or benefit my life in some way.

For those who have done apprenticeships for nursing certifications, was it worth it and what was the experience like?

I've seen a few hospitals and clinics offering apprenticeships for nursing certifications, and I was curious as to what that may look like and if you feel as if it was worth it. What are the positives and negatives of an apprenticeship? What did your day to day life look like as an apprentice? Any additional insights would be appreciated, thank you.

For those who worked in healthcare while going to college to get their BSN, how was your experience?

I'm considering the possibility of working as a CNA while simultaneously going to school to get a BSN. For those who have done just that or similarly, I'd like to know how your overall experience was. What was the most worth while? What was the most difficult part or most significant obstacle you had to face? How did you overcome these difficulties? Any other insights, advice, experiences, etc, would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
