CNA programs in Austin area

Published

I'm moving to austin in May to begin re-establishing residency in Texas and am working toward applying to a program at UT down the road. In the mean time, I am looking at taking a CNA course and working as a CNA in Austin. Do you have any recommendations of places to get certified (currently I'm looking in to Buckner, Nurse Aide Training Austin, Westminster Manor, & Austin CC Eastview Campus)? I am not very familiar with austin outside of the downtown area, so I don't know if these are in good locations or not. Also, are the hospitals around town hiring CNA's?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!!

ACC in general has good programs. I have not visited the Eastview campus, but I did take a class at Northridge campus (i think that's what it was called). Pretty campus and the class I took wasn't too bad either.

If you're looking to transfer into UT, you should try to knock out your core classes at ACC as well, since UT makes the core classes unnecessarily difficult. On top of that ACC is incredibly cheap.
