I'm interested in becoming LPN/LVN in California and the classes I have been reading about have some prereq's including current CNA certification...I was wondering though, does anyone know if it's possible to study on your own for the CNA test, rather than taking a course? I don't want to work as a CNA, I just need it so I can join the LVN program. I completed my MA program as one of the top 3 students. I know that CNA and MA are two totally different things, but I feel confident that my study habits and info retention will allow me to pass the test. I am not sure if that's even a possibility though. Do you guys have any info? Thanks! -tessa
