I have a friend from high school that also recently went back to school to work as a nurse and she said to start by getting my CNA and then start working in the field right away. From there she said that her education path is going to be to get her Diploma in Nursing and then go to Associates or Bachelor's in Nursing. does that sound like a good way to tackle this or is there a better way? Again my end goal at this point in time is to become an RN but I would like to start working in the field fairly soon that was the reason I was thinking of starting with the CNA if that will get me a job and at least get me started.
