    why would you want to become a CNA after having a BSN in RN! that's the craziest thing i've ever heard. Girl you have a wonderful degree that you spent four hard years working towards and you want to become a CNA! if you want let's switch places give me your RN license and I'll give you my CNA certification. I am working my butt off in school right now trying to get into the RN program right now. Why don't you just look for jobs in your local hospitals somebody will hire you eventually you have a BSN for God's sake.

you are either lying or you are just really stupid. The U.S has an urgent shortage of RN's... that means that even before you graduate you should have about 13 agencies/hospitals already begging you and giving you incentives to work for them. An RN can literally move to any city, any town, and any state in this country and get a job within days. If you are an RN and you "can't find a job"... then something is really really wrong with you.
