Hi.  It's great to be able to come to this site.  I have just begun taking a nursing assistant course, and hope to take other prerequisites next semester and start the nursing program next year.  I wonder if any of you have experience with being a nursing assistant.  I'm not sure whether to be a NA while I go to school or to keep my current job (working for a medical institution but not closely related to nursing).  Any advice?


Also, do any of you have experience getting your nursing degree going part-time?  Any suggestions on the pros and cons of going part or full-time?

I've been going to school full time for RN. I graduate in 2009! I don't know much about a schedule for part time. SOme schools require you to be a full time student. You have to check your school in your area.


The only "con" I can think of going part time is that it probably will take longer. I'm really not familar with schooling for nursing assistants.  I wish you the best of luck in your ventures.


Follow your heart and live your dream.
