  4. how is my plan?

    Sart45 replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would certainly think about getting your CNA. It is a short course (about a month) and my class only cost $500.00. If you want to be a nurse you will see what nursing is about as a CNA as you work...

    Sart45 replied to soraji's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sart45 replied to StarRN,BSN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Sart45 replied to AMRN3201's topic in Colorado Nursing

  12. Denver CNA training

    Sart45 replied to sourapril's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Arapahoe Community College in Littleton and Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood also have CNA programs. I'm sure their cost is the same as Front Range since it's all part of the same system but...

    Sart45 replied to bride2be's topic in Colorado Nursing

  19. Pca & Cna???

    Sart45 replied to Zalan's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was hired a month ago as a CNA at a large hospital. The term CNA and PCA are interchangable at this hospital. There is absolutely no difference between the positions. It's actually rather funny...

  23. Do I need Bio before A&P??

    Sart45 replied to misswillow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
