Where should I start for a future in the nursing career?

July 21st, 2010
Maria asked:


I plan on going to nursing school in the fall but in the mean time I’m going to work at a retirement home. I have the option to pick
a CNA (certified nurses assistant) route or to be a geriatric care giver where I go into people’s homes and help care for them. Personal preference for me would to enter in the home care, but I would like to know, especially from those nurses out there, which route would benefit my nursing career.
