Awesome, I have a friend currently doing the Chattahoochee Tech PCT program. Hope that goes for you (and good luck to getting into the LPN program)!

Congrats! I'm sure you will excel with your medical background. I don't know anything about MA, but am starting CNA school next month. I wish you the best :)

Congratulations!! I'm not sure of the average going rate for staring CNAS, but I see they're between 9-10 here.

I'm excited to say I registered for CNA school last week! I got a great feeling from the place after meeting the the staff, as well as other CNA/PCT students. They were open to answering any questions I had, and it just seemed like an overall good fit for me. Have been studying my NNAAP Candidate handbook for clinical skills and bought the Learning Express Nursing Assistant Study Guide book. I really recommend the Learning Express guide. Thus far I've been getting around 70% on my practice exams, but I figure this isn't horrible, considering I'm starting from scratch and don't even have the textbook yet to review with. My goal is to get up to 85-90% before class starts next month. I know book-smarts are only half of it, but hey, I'm working with what I have. -Good luck to all new CNA students this fall. We can do it!

*Bump* I stopped and visited Cobb CNA institute and have decided CPR with Mickey is to far. Going to visit Cumberland tomorrow morning. I really hope meeting people there and seeing the facility will help me make a choice in where to attend because both schools are fairly equal in price, distance, post CNA school state-exam training, and pass rate.

It's amazing at what people will spout when they think you don't know any better. I'm glad you did your research.

Hello fellow CNAs and CNA-seekers, I live in Cobb County and am looking to work towards my CNA certification very soon. I am deciding between COBB CNA & COBB MEDICAL INSTITUTE - Home - Mableton, GA, Cumberland Health Services and Training Center, or CPR With Mickey - Community and Healthcare Classes in the Atlanta Area - CNA. CPR with Mickey would run me about 20 miles out of the way, as opposed to a shorter distance for the first two. Can anyone vouch for it being so stellar that it'd be worth the distance? It sounds to be a really inclusive price, but then again so does Cumberland. I haven't heard back yet from Cobb CNA school. Has anyone gone to or heard anything else about any of these schools? I am really looking to make this decision by the middle of next week. Thanks in advance! :)

That's excellent news! Congrats! I'm applying to become a CNA and will hopefully have that as work while I am in nursing school. Your story is inspiring - reminding me that the road is not simple or short, but ultimately fulfilling if you keep at it.
