Obtaining CNA license

[moonprincess04]

Hi guys this might be a crazy question but im going to goodwin college for the 2 year RN program and i finished the 1st semester which most of you will know its basic skills like what a CNA class would teach now since i completed that im wondering would i still have to take a CNA class or is there a way to just register for the test if someone would let me know i would appreciate it a lot thanks.

in order to be certified on the connecticut nurse aide registry, an individual must have completed an approved nurse aide training program, and sit for the state competency examination within 24 months from completion of the class.

a student enrolled in a lpn or rn program may request to challenge the test by providing original transcripts of their education verifying they have completed the basic nursing fundamentals and skills that are covered in a nurse aide training program.
