Hello,
I have just completed my CNA course waiting to take my state exams.
I would like to get a ball park on the pre-req prices. Can anyone tell me how much per pre-req? I have a list of the classes to take. I understand the prices might vary, I know I need to buy the books, and they are expensive (even used) Just an estimate.
I need to sit down with an adviser at Palm Beach State College. Thanks in advance!

Hey, It's funny, both of us are in the same position. I am waiting to take my state CNA exam as well. I am in my last year of High School and am graduating June the 11th. In NC we can do dual enrollment while in high school and I took my PSY 150 (General Psychology) and CIS 110 (Intro to Computers), which are two of my prereqs for NS, for free. I also to AP English in the 11th grade and made a 3 on the AP test and got credti for and placed out of my first college enlgish (English 111) my AP test was $86.00. This summer I am taking 2 with a community college nearby and for 2 classes (Anat and Physiology I and ACA - Study Skills and Success - required course for all new college students-) and the price for those two were $282.00 not including my textbooks. My A&P textbook alone is $218.00 but it is for both A&P I and II. I don't evn know how much my my ACA materials will cost. I hope this helps. Hopefully We will both be entering our prescpective nursing programs Fall 2011!!!! Yay!!! Class of 2013!!!!
Thats great you knew what career choice to jump into at a young age! CONGRATS to you! By the time I get done with NS I will be around 30 years old! Im 25 now, I wish I started NS back then. Good luck on your CNA state exam. 2 of my class mates just passed theirs, one had empty a urinay drainage bag, Cath Care, ROM. Delray facility. Im going to Boca! I hope I do fine, I have hyperhydrosis (sweaty hands) I feel bad for the one thats stuck with me during skills.
