    Im am currently an STNA(same thing as CNA) and in nursing school for RN. I love my job and chosen career path. And i think its an awesome idea to become a CNA while in nursing school. It gives you a little head start for your nursing career and lets you see if that’s really the kind of stuff you want to do. Its not for everyone. It can be gross, sad, and very draining, but also very rewarding.
    I cant describe a typical day as an LPN or RN because it all depends on what work setting you are in, Like hospital, nursing home, home health care, ect….They are all very different. But nothing is better than the feeling of helping someone who cant help themselves.

    Good luck in your schooling!
