osu/okc free CNA program- what is your commitment?

U.S.A. Oklahoma

Hi guys! I have a quick question, and any info would be a huge help!

Well, I'm going back to school with the long term goal of being accepted to the osu/okc nursing program. In the meantime, though, I was considering getting my CNA license so that I could get the extra medical experience- hoping that will come in handy in nursing school! What I'm really hoping for is a 1 day a week CNA job, because I will be in school full time and I have 3 small kiddos.

I'm looking at the osu/okc CNA program, and was wondering if I should pay for the training myself or go with the free option with a commitment to work in the soonercare LTC's.

My question is basically this: How many hours or shifts are you required to work to fulfill your commitment? I know we have to commit to work for soonercare for a certain amount of months, but does it need to be full time, part time, or can it be even one day a week?

Thanks so much in advance!! :)

Juliaann, I had enrolled in the osu nurse aide program in march, paid my fee for the tb test (passed) and back ground check, passed the reading test was accepted and the lady at the facility in Clarmore said someone would contact me from the osu-okc office, I have never got a call, letter or anything from them. I have made 2 phone calls to osu, they have never been returned and when I call the Claremore facility they tell me it's in the hands of osu now. My mother has been very ill and in and out of the hospital since March so I've had limited time to pursue this! What should I do, has anyone ever had any problems with the osu nurse aide program? I have 5 children and was in hopes to have started a new career by this summer :(

Hi, I read that you had applied to OSU-OKC and had some trouble, how are things going? I plan on enrolling for the August 9th class, I havent gotten everything together just yet.

infor on Oklahoma Free CNA Training

I am actually looking into doing the CNA program until I finish up my degree for RT, but I am trying to find out what classes are like as in what are the hours? is the training actually at the school or do you do it at a nursing home, hospital etc. I appreciate anyone who can give me some information.
