How difficult was your CNA course?

And how many credits is it?

I'm wondering because I'm debating between taking it this Fall with AP 1 and AP 2 or waiting and possibly taking it with Microbiology in the Spring. Ours is 6 credits, while AP 1 & 2 are 4 each.

Thanks!

Mine was 6.5. I took it this quarter with the first chem class I am required to take (5 credits). It was a very easy class, although it can be time consuming at the end when you have clinicals and you have to figure out how to work around your other classes, finals, anything else you have going on.

I am planning to take A&P I this fall (5 credits), Nutrition 101 (also 5), and do EMT training (meets three times/week, through a fire department). I am a little worried about it, but I will try to manage my time as best I can.

CNA course is extremely easy, IMO. Its all about basics like bathing, toileting, ambulating, feeding, etc. It was super easy for me and I got a 100 on every assignment. Mine was 160 hours with about 40 or so of those as clinicals in a nursing home. W were assigned one resident to take care of from head to toe.

I'm taking mine now...and it is a lot of reading..not so much as it being difficult but I had a week there between taking care of family and trying to study that was really tough.

My CNA course was 10 days and easy peasey. There's a lot of reading, but a lot of the course is basic common sense. The clinicals were a little rough, mainly because at the facility I did my clinicals at was extremely understaffed and it was almost like they tossed us into the wild.

Overall, I was pleased with my course.

It's easy. Mine is 6 credits but in my state you have to do 75hrs of class of 100hrs in clinical.
