CNA to RN

Think I can do it? My mom and I drove to Eagle Mountain Last night to have my awesome cousin give me a CNA pep talk. If you ever need one she is the person to go to. Recently I have been throwing around the Idea of becoming a CNA. My cute cousin recommended a class that is 2 weeks long and only $400. Monday-Friday 5-10 p.m. With a Phlebotomy certification on the first weeks Saturday from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. My cousin and her family were in St. George with us a couple of months ago and she saw hands on how good my medical skills were with Ally. She told me last night that I really had a good bed side manner and had talent in the medical profession. She also said that she thinks that I will do something great if I did become a nurse. I would change the world, discover something, maybe even find the cure for Diaphragmatic Hernias or help some one who does. This in-turn gave my mom and I goose bumps. My Cousin is an RN and works for home care. She makes $200 a day, works 8-12, with five people she sees and only works 2 days a week. She says she loves it and she makes as much as her husband does at his weekly job. She told me that CNA's don't make that much and they do all the dirty work. Clean up poop, Change bedding, vital signs, clean rooms ext. I said that I think I would get board with that. She said she did and then became a LPN. Or a Lower paid nurse as she says. It really stands for License Practitioner Nurse. They do medication, vitals ext. A little better work than CNA's. And then she became an RN (registered nurse), which as she calls it the rich nurses. They can do most everything. I am a little excited about becoming an RN and Getting certified in CNA which I think is a little weird for me. Most of you know that I hate school, I hate reading things, and usually have massive anxiety when it comes to even thinking about school. I was not the best in school and struggled with anything. It might be because I read at a 7th grade level even through college and things took me a lot longer to do than other students. But I have always wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a Kid. My mom today told me that she thinks its a not a diction. She thinks that its a must and a no brainer. Interesting things our happening in my life. What does everything think.

I think you should go for it! I know it'll be hard, but that's how our life here on Earth is meant to be. I think you would be an amazing RN! Good luck!
