[mysonsmama]

Hello all,

I am currently finishing up prereqs for CACs nursing program and will be obtaining my CNA over the summer so I can apply for the Spring '13 block 1

I have read all that I could find on the CAC nurisng website but I am interested in some first hand accounts about the program, the instructors, the facilities, just everything!

also, the link on their site wouldnt work for me, does anyone know what the tuition cost is for the program?
