California nurses

I am changing my career (a little late in life) and I want to enter into the medical field. I would like to start by taking a CNA program. Are there any CNA programs that I can take online or in the evening...that are not to terribly expensive? Thank you for your help! I greatly appreciate it!

you can probably find an evening program. i would try the department of public health because they license the programs. http://www.cdph.ca.gov/certlic/occupations/pages/aidesandtechs.aspx

it is preferable to fax information to the cna/hha/certification unit, fax (916) 552-8785, or send an email to the cna email address: [email protected]

mailing address:

you cannot do it on line because supervised clinical training is required.

training requirements

to achieve certification, applicants must successfully complete either an atcs-approved training program1 or one of the department of education's adult education/regional occupation programs for nursing assistants.

the minimum training requirements for california cnas are:

50 hours* of theory (classroom) and

100 hours of supervised clinical training in a nursing facility.

*sixteen hours of training in communication, infection control, safety procedures (including heimlich maneuver), and promoting resident independence and rights must be completed before there is any contact with residents.

never too late in life.. I am hoping to start school next year at 42. I am taking a cna course in January in Brentwood-- contra costa county...... www.ccsona.com.. also some junior colleges have them.. if you go to the state board of nursing - it shows junior colleges with rn programs.. i was searching through them yesterday for a class and saw some colleges that offered nurse assistant classes.
