CNA training

Published

Hi!

I will be applying to nursing school in October. I want to get a job working in the medical field and I would like to become a CNA to get some experience. Has anybody taken any classes to certify me? I live on Long Island - Nassau County.

Thanks

i'm interested in the ny medical career center (flushing) in order to earn my cna certificate. since you graduated from there, did you find it easy to get a job afterwards as a cna in ny? do i have to make sure the school is accredited by some type of organization for cna's in order to successfully find a job after graduation? i'm not crazy about the lack of parking in the area, but i'd attend if my chances of finding a job afterwards were good. my long term goal is to attend nursing school.

yes it was easy to find jobs. every interview that i went on was successful and i picked and chose where i wanted to go. i actually work in nj with the ny cert. i never did take the state exam since i knew that i was going to start my rn program in aug. the school is definitely accredited. i mostly parked on side streets and didnt have to pay. it is a reputable school and the teachers that i had were excellent!!

just finished my cna a course at Manhattan Institute will start me internship with a nursing home in the bronx next week. the cousre was 900 it was worth it i had a great teacher.

do u think it necessary to take the cna tech course?

Its not necessary but it is a definite plus. A few places wont hire you unless you can draw blood and take EKGs. They'd rather give one salary for the multiple jobs. Also, it gives you an advantage when you are looking for jobs. A facility may have a phlebotomist or EKG tech position open but not a CNA position, you still qualify.
