White scrubs and shoes for clinicals. I did the 3 week day. The course load wasn't to bad. Just reading 2-3 chapters a night but it really wasn't bad. I loved it! Which site are you going to?

I am taking it in MA.

What type of work did you get when you finished? Did it take you long to find a position?

Thanks for responding :)

I just finished this week. I am waiting to get a test date through the state. There is a lot of work out there right now for CNA's. I would love to work in a hospital but think they want some experience first although I have read on here some get hired in hospitals right away. I will apply to both. I don't want to start applying until I have my certificate in hand but was told you can hired as long as they know you finished a CNA program and have a test date. I am in MA to.
