slward 19 Posts Sep 17, 2012 Depends on your school. American Career College is structured so that the first 2 terms (2 out of 4) coincide with CNA coursework, so all you need to do is apply to test once you have completed the second term. At American Career College, a person in the career center gives you all the paper work/signs off on it, or whatever. Many of my classmates did that so they could get part time jobs as CNAs during our last two terms of LVN school. Hope that helps! Good luck!
