CNA quickly

[punkybrewster8806]

Hi! Does anyone have any tips on where in the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti area of MI I could look to get a fast CNA? I'm starting school in less than a month and need to get the training done pronto so I can get a part-time job to help pay for school and also get clinical experience.

Check with your local community colleges, nursing homes, and hospitals. Quite a few of these provide CNA training.

My training took about a month 3 days a week about 6 hours a day. I am assuming most programs are similar.

hi, punkybrewster8806!

http://www.michigan.gov/mdch/0,1607,7-132-27417_27529_27544---,00.html - this is the website for the michigan nurse aid registry. from this site i am quoting you this: "for additional information regarding certified nurse aide training programs or an application for exemption from training (if you are unable to download a copy here), call [phone]." there are additional links at this site to faqs. please read the information on this page. i would suggest you call the number they listed and ask for a list of locations where you can get training.

welcome to allnurses! :welcome:

Hi,

Washtenaw Community College offers CNA classes. I'm currently taking one right now. It's the last session for this Summer so you would have to register for a class in the Fall. Here is the link that describes the class: http://www.wccnet.edu/academicinfo/creditofferings/programs/atoz/atoz2.php?code=CCNAST&year=2006&path=health

Hope this helps.
