The CNA certification for NC used to be administered by Promissor, but I think they have been taken over by PearsonVue. You can find the current information for CNAI at http://www.pearsonvue.com/. Look under Health, Medicine, Pharmacy and Nurse Aids...

Two more semesters... Advanced med-surg/Neuro/oncology, OB and then leadership. I can't believe that we will be classified as 'seniors'!!! May '09 here I come . :clpty::monkeydance:

I can attest to the CNA program at Durham Tech. It's really good (and fairly cheap). Good luck with your search!

We use Smeltzer & Bare.

:yeahthat: I moved to NC (Raleigh/Durham) area from Upstate SC several years ago, and I was sticker-shocked about how expensive it is to live here!! Housing, insurance (both home and auto), food, gas, etc etc.....
