CNA courses in Orlando???

[RNWannabe89]

I'm gonna be applying to the UCF college of nursing in fall '09, but I wanted to make sure that I got in (since it's so competitive). I thought that actually having some hands-on experience would be to my advantage, but I don't know where to start! I've thought about CNA or HHA courses, but I don't know where to look! HELP!!!

I know that they offer CNA training at Seminole Community College and Orlando Tech. I think Americare might offer it as well, but the first two schools are a lot cheaper. Good luck!

Thanks so much!!! It's kind of difficult trying to find an accredited program that actually LOOKS legit. The other programs that I found didn't seem very authentic. :thankya:

Find out on FL statutes web site or google for FL approved cna test centers, and look in Orlando area. Test centers are usually very competitive training costs, from my local comparisons in Bradenton, FL; and they know best how to train you to pass their tests!

I'm saving up and will try after mini Summer Biology class in 6 weeks. Mine is $375 class + $125 test + tb test $25? (I already have cpr and physical less than a year ago - ?). 2 weeks 1/2 day, class one week and hospital or retirement home the next, and 50% home study. You do get hands on for about 20 hours in hospital :-)

Here's my school 1/2 mile away from my house.
