Can you be a CNA while going to college?


i've heard you can be a CNA at 18. But can you do it while going to a different college. [ as in the college isnt a nursing school ]
i really want to be a doctor, but i would like to be a CNA during college because it would be a agood experience & it would be a job to get money.

In some states you can be a CNA at 16. You can be a CNA and still go to school. Pay isn't fabulous, but you could probably find a job with a relatively flexible schedule so you can work around your school hours.

As long as you get certified you can

Yes. Getting a CNA license only takes about 2 weeks. Many hospitals and some nursing homes offer the training.

yes you can!! I tell everybody who wants to be in the medical field to start as STNA, HHA, or CNA

yes
