Online Programs

by kt_b

I'm currently in high school, but I'm starting college next quarter through post-secondary options. I'm very interested in online education.

At the moment, I'm looking for an online school that offers nurse's aide training. Does anyone know of any schools? Or any website to help would be great!! Thanks!!

Ive never heard of an online CNA program, and hope there isnt one. CNA programs require quite a bit of clinicals and hands on labs. Something thats difficult to learn on a computer.

My borther's girlfriend did her training last summer, and she didn't have any hands-on experience in the class. She said thay read chapters from their book and took quizes. Then she took the state test (and passed) but she never had to do clinicals or anything like that!! Hmm...that's strange!

Never heard of online CNA program. I went through a program we did a lot of book work, lab work and clinical work. You really should have the clinical work to get a good idea of thing and some things really need to be taught and learned by hands on. You will not regret the experience.
