Happy CNA Week! Plus Bonus: Should I work as a CNA before I am a nurse?
Show Notes

On today's episode- I am sending alllll the love and appreciation to the backbone of healthcare- the CNAs! Sharing stories and my appreciation for how amazing CNAs have been throughout my nursing career.

In the second part of the episode- I am sharing my thoughts and personal experience with a question I hear all the time- should I be a CNA before I become a nurse? While I don't believe anything is black and white- I do have a pretty strong opinion on this and I will share why!

As always, if you are a CNA, nursing student or nurse looking for support and mentorship- send me a DM on Instagram or via the website! I would love to chat and see how I can support you!
