Specializes in Pediatrics.

I would check your states web site for information, also inquire at the hospitals if they have a training program. When my hospital made the transition from 1 to 2 they gave all of us the training and any new CNAs were given a challenge exam and a skills exam if they were not 2s yet.

ok cool thanx i will look into that.

I'm a cna in NC. Our local comm colleges require proof of a short training NA1 class, some on the job exp (it varies with each college, usually 1 to 6 months) and some also require a letter from an RN.
