Hi everyone! I start my CNA class on Monday. I am nervous and excited. I was wondering how long after you finish the class do you typically take the state exam? My class ends July 1st and we are going out of town on July 21-24. I am hoping that this does not conflict with the state exam. I know they will probably tell me next week but I was curious what the average was.

Thanks everyone. I found out it will be taking it a week or two after we finish the class. My instructor wasn't sure which day because of the July 4th holiday.
