How can I become a CNA

Hi:

I did a quick google search and found this website.

I am a cna in gainesville and took a similar class. Honestly don't waste your money on a training class, I learned everything I needed to know on the job. Just take a quick prep and take your exam and you will be A ok.

Gatormommy - look up Express Training in Gainesville. They have a quick program, but to get points at Santa Fe it has to be a 120 hour program (aka, only one from a community college).

kfarmer - Did you ever find a CNA training program in your area? I am also looking for something in the Tampa Bay area. Thanks.

@kfarmer - Have you given any thought to getting your certification online? I was somewhat in the same boat as you a few years ago and was having trouble finding a course that would work around my schedule at the time, which was pretty hectic. Eventually, I decided to just do it online and it was pretty easy, there are a lot of online schools offering these courses now days.

I think there was a good list on the how to become a cna page on pnhnetwork, and most states will also give you a list of accredited schools in the area, as well as online, check with your local health board.
