Central Ill CNA program

[O.R.they?]

I've searched this forum for my answer, but I was unable to find exactly what I was looking for...maybe because the answer I want doesn't exist. :)

Here's the deal:

I am applying to get into the ADN program at ICC for the Fall of '09. I couldn't apply any earlier because I didn't have my Chemistry. So, in the meantime I thought I would get my CNA and start getting good work experience. I had planned to sign up for ICC's summer CNA program. Instead, I was offered a registrar position at a local hospital and felt that this new job would be a good intro into the medical world. Well, a couple weeks into the job, and I'm really regretting the decision to skip the CNA program. Finally, for the actual question:

Since ICC's CNA program for the summer is closed, and I'd like to start a program ASAP, does anyone know of any other (good) programs offered in the central Illinois region? I would be willing to drive a little, but I know that Heartland's program is also full. I feel as though I've done about all the online searching that I can do, and I wanted to enlist the help of some of you who have maybe been through this and can give me some suggestions. I really appreciate all your help in advance. :)

Thanks!

Am unsure of this but have you checked out some of the bigger NH's in the area. Other option is Spoon River College in Canton or Carl Sandberg in Galesburg.

I just found out about Spoon River, but wasn't able to see any other information about them besides the fact that they offer a CNA program. I'll have to give them another look. Thank you so much for the reply. :nuke:
