I will be starting on pre-requisites this year to apply to a Nursing Program hopefully in 2015, but I want to become a CNA and gain work/volunteer experience while taking my prerequisites.

Have you taken the CNA/NA-C program at Everett CC, Edmonds CC, Lake WA Tech, North Seattle CC, Shoreline CC or the Nursing Assistant Training Institute in Shoreline, and have any info to share? Would you recommend their program? What type of learning environment? Where/type of setting were clinicals? How would you rate the instructors? Were they passionate about nursing and attitude towards students? Did you have a lot of hands on learning? Class size? Did you walk away feeling well prepared/confident for the licensing exam and employment? Overall quality of the program?

I have also heard of MedPrep and Caregiver Tech. Anyone gone there and have info to share too? Since Caregiver Tech is a very short program, was there more hands on learning and how well did you do on licensing exam and finding employment with a shorter program?

Any insight would be wonderful! Thanks so much for your help!!
