    Where is the best CNA training in Tulsa?

    Dorali replied to zephyr79's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    If you haven't started yet, Interim is a wonderful school! We were told that Hillcrest hires a lot of their CNAs simply because they went there. Clinicals are at Hillcrest also. I'm not sure about St....
