That doesn't sound like too much of a course load to me. I did my CNA class with a similar schedule a few years back and handled it just fine. If you've already done some nursing pre-reqs, you'll be a little ahead even. My CNA class met 5 days a week for 8 weeks (if I remember right) and clinicals were the last 3 or 4. I got some basic basics from clinicals but really was starting from absolute zero on my first CNA job. The amount of homework for that class wasn't huge either. I think you should be fine doing classes and CNA class together.

I'm planning on taking a CNA course this summer while also an online Psy and computer class so that I can still be considered a part time student so that I can still get some financial aid money.
Do you think that I would be over doing it?
I have most of my nursing pre reqs done so I have a decent science background and I have also done online classes successfully before so I'm good with my time management but I'm still a bit worried.
I have a friend who is a CNA and she said the classroom was almost a joke, with no brainer quizes/homework and tests....the clinicals were more fun and educational.
Thoughts? Tips? Advice?
Thanks!
