CNA Classes?

[garnetgirl29, BSN, RN]

I just saw an ad for a CNA class that's only one day long and claims that you will be prapared to take the exam. Could this be legit? It's also cheaper than the programs at the community colleges. The site is cnanow.org. It sounds too good to be true, but I just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

not in my state. You have to have like 75 hours or something similar before you can get on the floor!

I looked at the site and I would be very afraid. I'm in CNA class now and no way do I think I would be able to learn all this stuff in one day. I could just about see them going over the practical skills with you in a one-day setting, but what about all the book work?

I guess it is legal to go that route. I wonder what their success rate is.

Y'know, most of the cna stuff is common sense. Granted common sense isn't all that common, and even with common sense someone would probably need experience with something that involved learning proceedures quickly and accurately.

I AM surprised the state thinks it is reasonable.

Personally, even though I think the test could be passed this way, I would not want to show up to the first day of work without the clinical hours one gets in the longer programs. In the days when everyone started that way, okay, but not now. I'd want some of the learning curve out of the way... at the very least that first brief or first bed bath of an unrelated adult person.

My class was 5 days of classroom then a couple of weeks of clinicals. While I don't think any longer than that is necessary, I don't see how you'd learn all your clinical skills in one day.
