I am a current nursing student....how do I go about sitting for the CNA exam? I would like to work as a CNA this summer. Any info would be appreciated!

Dannelboo, do you go to Ivytech Indy?

why, yes I do! Can I take the CNA test at Ivy Tech? Do I have to schedule it? Only two weeks left of class and I need a job!

I need one too. Go to the nursing office and tell them that you are interested in CNA certification. They have photocopies of the brochure you will need. There is a number to call and I called and they said that they offer the tests just about everyday in the Indianapolis area. You will need an official transcript with a C or better in Fundamentals (which I am sure you have, cuz if you didn't they would have thrown you out of the program). Then there is an application to fill out (call the number and they will point you to it). Then you send it all in and they give you a test date. I am not scheduling mine until after finals (I have enough to study!). Good luck.
