CNA training in Denver area

Nurse2bNichol · Jan 13, 2010

I went to Red Rocks for my CNA and it was phenomenal. We got to do clinicals at a great hospital and LTC facility and the professors got to know all of us very personally. In addition, they allowed us to complete clinicals at night and on the weekends for those of us who worked.

I went to National American University (on Colorado Blvd) to get my CNA last year. I couldn't find anywhere to take a class:uhoh3:...now I know they are offered at Arapahoe CC and other CC's in the metro area. It cost $500.00. I had classes 3 days a week for a month. Labs were in the the morning and lecture in the afternoon or ocassionally reversed. I had a wonderful instructor (RN with lots of hospital experience and a great sense of humor). We did our clinicals at a VERY nice Long Term Care facility in Denver. Also took our state boards at NAU which was convenient since you are familiar with how to work the beds, where things were, and you just felt better not being in a strange environment.

SART45 is NAU $500 for the CNA class? I have a friend that is looking for one and she wasn't able to get into Emily Griffen's and I figured theirs would of been more

Hi Coloradogrl,

When I went to NAU (Dec. 08-Jan. 09) it was $500.00. I don't know if it has since changed. This paid for the entire class including the book. We paid extra for scrubs for clinicals and for the Board Exam.
