Did you get them already? If you did then no. If you don't have them, then yes. Those aren't replaced with a CNA certificate.

If you took Core in McFatter then you'd get a waiver for it. Contact the nursing department for more detailed info though just to make sure.

Neeza0903,

I turned in my folder to North already. What they want is the (original) physical/lab work, and (copies) of all certificates, CPR card, 2 background checks, and drug test slip.

Make sure to make 2 extra copies (one for you, and the other for the clinical instructor). Put all this in a 2 pocket folder with a paper clip.
