WellI'm currently in a 6 week program if you want to really get a head start there is this book I bought at borders its reallynot a read but it gives you a glance of steps and procedures, it has a cd rom which is most helpful it was like $ 30.00 and its called Success for he Nursing Assistant its a review book but its a start. I hope you have fun because I am and I am learning a lot of things I never knew.

Hello, Hello:

I just wanted to start off by saying "hi" & welcome to the board! I don't have any book recommendations to help you prior to starting your CNA classes, but I did want to let you know, that I took my CNA class in April, I've been out of school for 10 years, & I did just fine, as I'm sure you will as well. Admittedly, it took a couple of days to fall into a routine. After those couple of days, though, I didn't look back. If you have questions or are curious about anything - be sure to take advantage of this board. There are wonderful, smart people here that have been a God-send to me when I couldn't find a blood pressure or didn't know which scrubs to buy! They were extremely helpful & happy to help. Also, feel free to "vent" as well. I've been overwhelmed a bit, recently, & the people here have been amazing!

Oh, yes. You could read: "Nobody's Home". For the life of me, I cannot remember who wrote it, I'll have to find my copy. It's written by a gentleman who was a CNA in a nursing home. Hmm... Who knows - perhaps I should read it again, as well...

I Passed My State Board For Cna When I Was 16 And Never Studied. If You've Ever Taken Care Of Children, Your Clinicals Won't Be A Problem Either. You'll Do Fine, Don't Worry!! In School To Be A Rn Now And Been Out Of School For 14 Yrs, Have A 4.0 So Far!! Don't Worry!
