CNA info, help request.

Published

I hope it's ok to post questions about this here. Sorry if it's not.

I am thinking about getting my CNA license, however I'm having a rather hard time finding information on the net. I've been working at an Assisted Living Center for about 7 months now; prior to that I worked with Developmentally Diasabled adults and children in a day program environment. So I thought I'd take the next step and see where it takes me.

In particular I am interested in how to get my CNA in Colorado (Pueblo to be exact, but I don't think that matters as much as the state), and what exactly is involved in with classes (i.e. what the classes cover etc). Never even thought about this until a friend at work was talking about getting hers, due to some rather unfortunate work related issues for the both of us.

Anyway is there any links to information concerning the process? I've talked with a few people here in town but none of them have been helpful.

Thanks for your time,

Michael
