Hwal’s Answer

Cheyenne, how about getting experience as a nursing assistant? Becoming a certified nursing assistant (CNA) definitely opened doors for me, and since it sounds like you're thinking about a nursing career, healthcare experience as a nursing assistant could be a great option for you. I took a formal course for 8 weeks and passed a state exam to become a CNA, but I hear that you can sometimes be trained on the job while working.


Good luck!

Deborah D.’s Answer

It's great that you are already focused on your career choice. Although volunteering at a hospital is one of the best ways for some experience

I would suggest that you talk to some Doctor's offices. Maybe a local clinic might be interested in some help.

With the current situation it may be hard right now.

Best of Luck
