Curious about your courses

Published

I start my courses in September with Lanier Tech. here in GA

I was wondering if typically CNA's in other states just have to take a CNA course or if there are other classes you have to take.

For example, at my new school, I have to take Diet & Nutrition, Anatomy & Physiology, Medical Terminology, and THEN I will be taking my CNA Fundementals course. Is this pretty standard for what you guys took?

I got my CNA in GA and took only CNA course. The classes you are taking will be of great benefit to you though, especially if you decide to pursue nursing.

That seems a little overkill to me for just CNA, though it probably won't hurt if you plan on continuing with nursing. (Though I'd make sure I'm getting credit for it if I were you!) Are they separate classes or modules? My CNA class had modules in those things, but it was really only one class.

Same with my class. Are you doing the CNA class as a pre-req for nursing school?

As far as I know, this is just the standard couse that Lanier Technical offers for CNA training. I know that the other 3 courses are pre-req's for the CNA Fund. class Here is the link to my course info.

and this may be a silly question, but if I recieve a certificate at the end am I certified? No I cant be because I have to take the state exam right? uggg i'll have a lot of questions for whoever is so lucky to advise me first :clown:

I thought that maybe what I was taking was a little more than average, but they are seperate college courses that I will recieve credit for. Not to mention that the other courses are pre-reqs for any other medical courses they offer. So I will have a foundation for whatever other things I'll want to go into.

And I recieved a grant for my entire tuition, so my course is completely free! Whats better than free?

It will take me 2 quarters to comlete the entire course.

Do you guys think I am on a good track?
