Thinking of moving to Concord

Published

I'm only in my first semester of re-recs for Nursing. Was planning on getting my CNA next semester, but we may move before then.

Do the Junior colleges there offer CNA classes for certification. What's the nursing school acceptance like. Pre-recs needed? That kind of stuff. Please, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I know for sure that when you are in the RN or LPN courses after 1 semester you can get your LNA all you do is pay the fee. I have not known any colleges to offer the classes but there is the red cross, HCTA in manchester, and a couple other agencies that train and also some of the local nursing homes train in house.

Acceptance can be tough but some get lucky and get right in with little to no pre- recs done. I was not one of the lucky ones, applied for RN 2 years in a row with an overall 3.4 GPA, did OK on NLN and was not accepted, applied for the LPN and got on a waiting list but then into the program Jan 07....it is very competitive in both so I wish you all the luck!!!

Hope this helps

Specializes in Maternity, quality.

The only community colleges I know of that offer LNA training are Laconia and Claremont, but there are many other options as irishdevil noted. A list of approved programs is here: http://www.nh.gov/nursing/education/NursingAssistantPrograms.htm

Many thanks
