Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help. I am trying to find a CNA class that is offered days, and would be completed by the fall semester. I looked into CCRI and am signed up for the pretest, but it isnt until May 23, and they could not give me the next start date for their day program . I was accepted to the nursing program for the fall, but i currently have NO flexibility in my job. I work full time second shift mon-fri 3-11:30pm. This is why i need to find a day class.
I have checked into a few places (BCC, Cranston adult learning), but they are evening programs. BCC has one day program in fall river, but it does not have good start and end times. I have tried to call the dept of health and have emailed them for a listing, but have received no answer. I also looked into 911programs (very expensive and also night program). I have emailed St Elizabeths as they have no info on their website. I did email SCH VNA because their website says that they offers CNA classes periodically.
I currently work at a hospital and i would like to become a CNA and transfer to a p/t position in the hospital. I am hoping the CCRI thing ends up working out...otherwise i am kinda stuck at the moment. I understand after 2 clinical rotations you can sit for your cna boards (please correct me if im wrong). I guess if it comes down to it, i will have to hope my job will bear with me and i will just have to bust butt till that happens.
Thank you in advance.
