Jul 24, 201511 yr I did my bookwork for my CNA online but clinical training was done on site at a LTC. Any program that does not expect you to do clinical training on site with actual patients is not worth the time and money.
Jul 24, 201511 yr 100% online class.....nope you won't find it. Like PP said you have to do clinical somewhere. Its probably a place that the class has access to. My class was able to go to the local VETS home. It was a great experience.
Jul 24, 201511 yr You have to do clinicals in person and the classroom time of 70ish hours isn't bad. it is worth the in person time.
Jul 25, 201511 yr Some places will do a hybrid program with lecture work online and practical skills in the classroom. Nowhere does (or at least should do) 100% online. A program that is 100% online will not meet the criteria necessary for certification with the state. Look around you local area, many 100% in-person courses are surprisingly flexible in scheduling if you have to work around a current work or school schedule. The training school I went to had full-time early morning, day, and evening options (4 weeks), part-time day and evening (6 weeks) and week-end only (10? weeks) for classroom, and a choice of 4 different clinical time/location options.
Jul 26, 201511 yr Sure. I took my CNA class online via a local community college. It does need to be local, though, because it would still require regular lab sessions and clinicals.
Is there a way to get CNA certified online/does anyone know of any good programs??
