You cannot "bridge" from a CNA to a nurse. It doesn't work that way. A CNA course in 6 weeks in length. A nursing program is 2 years minimum. What you learn in a CNA course, we learn in the first 3 day of our first nursing class.

Don't waste your time with being a CNA. If you want to be a nurse, go right into a college program!!

It is NOT certified?? If so, then no it's not a good idea, a lot of places will not hire you without having a certificate.

Don't waist your time. a cert of completion is not the same as being certified, also see if they offer a bridge program so you can continue with the training after, you might want to be a rn one day.

Even though it is a not a certified course you can get some ideal what you will be learning, however it is best to go for education in which you receive a degree which is more in demand when dealing with patients and especially medicine.

It would be better to take the certified nursing assistant program.
