Yes, that is true I plan to go into the LPN program and the first part of the program at the school I attend is kind of like CNA. So I get to clep out of the first semester, which starts in the summer.
I just completed the CNA course it lasted from September to December and we only meet 2 days a week from 2pm-4pm. We did not have that much work to do. That sounds like alot.
