Advice for 75 Hour CNA Classes in Des Moines?

U.S.A. Iowa

Published

I would like to take the 75 hour CNA Class in Des Moines. Is DMAAC the best place to do that? Can someone give me some advice?

I believe the 75 hour is the best route to go correct?

Any input would be most helpful.

I would like to do CNA work -- not RN work.

Thanks so much in advance!

RN and CNA's are totally different level's of Nursing. To be a CNA the minimum requirements here in Iowa are 75hr certification and/or successful pass both the (State) written and skills test.

-if you think you have enough healthcare expirience and know whats expected of a cna, then you can chose to challenge the tests (both skills and written)

-If you can't, then you have to go to a community college and take the course. Around Des Moines, DMACC will be yur best option (they have a month or two waiting list), but if you have the money, just go to mercy and bypass the waiting list!

hope this makes sence, good luck on your endeavours!

I am currently @DMACC for the first CNA class - then there is a 2nd CNA (advanced CNA) there are state exams after the first CNA class and I know, for me anyway, to get into Nursing school @DMACC, I have to take both CNA classes. I snagged the last seat for the ACNA class this semester, so it's def. busy and fills up fast. I would just call. There are several campuses to take it at. It's cheap and so far I am doing well in my class! Hope that Helps. :wink2:

Signature Healthcare is Waukee offeres a 75 hour CNA class. We have fast track classes that are only two weeks long and night and weekend classes. At this time there are no waiting list for the class. We also offer the fast track advance course.
