CNA Training

Published

Looks like the entire family is going for it..... my wife is an RN, I plan to get back into school and become and RN and now..... my 19 year old son is asking how he can become a CNA to have a stable part time job while he's in school. I've looked all over the web and can't figure out where he might go for this training/certification. Can anyone out there help me with this one?

A lot of vocational schools train CNAs, but the course is longer and you have to pay tuition.

Chances are you can find a nursing home that will train someone to be a CNA for free. They do that in order for the new CNAs to stay and work for them afterward, but many take advantage of it and leave.

Tarrant County College has one but I can't find it on the website, Dallas County College has one under patient care technician on the website, also I believe PCI Health Training has a CNA/PCT program.

I got trained by Austin Community College!

you then get certified and registered in DADS...of course after the completion of clinicals and Exam.

you just go to the Highland Business Center on the 4th floor right out of the elevators you are there!
