CNA Course in Houston?

Hi Kyla I think I can help you Im starting CNA classes Sept.1 at Texas Health School the price is reasonable its only 3weeks and they help you find a job after your done. You can get your CNA certifications from community colleges and some technical schools that offer it. I would recommend getting your CNA if you want to get some experience in nursing & theres always a need for CNAs whether in hospitals or nursing homes. I hope this helps you if you need any more info just let me know I'll be glad to help ypu

Hi there are plenty of CNA programs in Houston,Houston Community College has a 6 week CNA class that they offer new classes several times a month. Also there another program called ACE healthcare that's sliely cheaper and quicker,usually 4 to 5 weeks depending on how fast you complete your hours than HCC's CNA program. I would definetly recommend working as a CNA before nursing school, because it will definetly help you acquire skills to prepare for your clinicals.The only downfall about working as a CNA is that finding a job as a newly certified CNA, may take some digging.

Alot of places require experience,usually at least 1 year CNA experience,but many long term care facilities are usually short staffed in terms of CNAs.I suggust you look towards nursing homes,and other long term care facilities on your job hunt.Also,I recommend you keep the job you have until you have secured a new job,because this may take a few weeks to a few months,but you will able to find a full-time job working as a CNA.

I hope this the information I provided helps you establish some ground work to work on.

Good luck on the road to becoming an RN! =)
