Nina, it may be beneficial to consider seeking a tutor on campus or study groups. I would also encourage you if you have not to speak with the Professor as well. If you are having problems with stats, then you may also have problems with some of the calculations required in health field training (i.e. Pharmacy Technicians have some calculations required as part of training).

Keep in mind CNA's make slightly over minimum wage, so depending on your geographic location it may require you to work two jobs.

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics median salary for CNA's $24,010 per year
$11.54 per hour http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/nursin...stants.htm

I wouldn't say it is "easy" to get a job always nowadays, because there are more people in the job market and more competition. Some people do have to relocate for jobs to get their foot in the door. Health care jobs usually prefer those with experience, so networking is essential these days in getting a foot in the door to get an interview (in my opinion).

To me the best way to check the market in your geographic location is to do a good online job search http://www.indeed.com Indeed is a good one. And then compare the job market, qualifications listed by the employers, and the salary range.
