So I have to ask this... everyone on here is talking about clinicals and such with their CNA training. When I was in class to be a CNA I had 16 hours of classroom work (required to be on the floor as a CNA). That classroom work was me sitting in a room with an instructor watching videos and taking quizes on chapters out of the textbook.
After my 16 hours in the classroom I went out on the floor and was in training for 3 days. Day 1 I watched. Day 2 I helped. Day 3 I did everything and my trainer watched me. Day 4 I was on my own responsible for 23 people.
So I guess i had one day of clinicals.. lol I finished up my 64 hours of classtime over the course of the next 2 months and then I took my test, and passed.
I am just curious what everyone elses training courses consisted of. Did you have to pay for them? My employer hired me with no experience and provided the course, they paid for it, and they paid for my testing to become CNA certified. I actually got paid my hourly wage to be in class.
From what I read on here I got a good deal and that isnt always the norm.
