CNA programs

Published

I am currently working on my pre-requisites for the BSN program but would love to get my CNA certification. Has anyone heard of any online CNA programs? My schedule is so full right now and I do not see it letting up soon so this would really be my only option. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Since CNA programs do not contain a great deal of theory, there's virtually no way to offer an online CNA program. The CNA program is about 90 percent "hands-on" basic nursing care, so it must be completed in a traditional brick-and-mortar setting such as a school or facility. Look at it in this manner: you are not accurately going to learn how to make beds, give showers, change diapers, operate lifts, feed patients, and perform good peri-care by reading about it online.
