:balloons: Hi everyone. Haven't really posted before but just thought I would let you all know I passed the state exam for CNA yesterday. What a wonderful feeling to be certified!!!

Now I will be in contact with the local college to enter into the RN program.

Cant wait to start school and get on with what I have been dreaming of for years.

thanks for all the great advice. This is a wonderful website!!!!

Thats great news! How long was your cna class? I have seen them for as little as 3 weeks or some for a few months. I dont know what the diff is since the cert is the same.I want to find something I can do in a month full.

Great job on your certification! Are you goung to work as a cna before entering nursing school? To answer the queston about the time frame for cna classes, the ones that are 12 wks are usually at a CC. They're that long because they take place 2 nights a week, with clinicals on saturdays and one weekday. The classes that are done within a month are usually held in a ltc facility and are full time mon-fri for four weeks or so. At least thats how it is in my area!

Hey, my CNA class was four months, but mine was at my high school. We had clinicals 4 days a week for 2 1/2 hours each day. Clinicals started in the middle of February. I really enjoyed my CNA class.

Thanks everyone for your support. My class started Jan 2nd and we only met one day a week but I have been working there at the LTC facility since class started. I am now looking into working at a hospital to gain more experience and also with help with tuition reimbursment.
