Wake Tech Fall 2020

Wonderful. And I’m only taking nurse aide 1 correct? I don’t need to take nurse aide 2, is that right?

Yeah just NA 1 is needed for application

Thank you all for the info. LOL so glad I joined this site! You guys have been way more helpful than any other person I’ve spoken to. THANK YOU!

I was an alternate last semester since I hadn’t finished micro or sociology, but I remember them saying that if you took your CNA through wake tech and had already uploaded stuff to castlebranch, they would merge the two together so you’ll have access to both.

Oh that’s nice, will save time in uploading documents. Obviously some things will need updating, but at least not everything will need to be reuploaded.

Indeed ... thanks to everyone for the info. Seems like yesterday we were like " ... when are they gonna send out the letters. The wait is killing me!!"

It’s super weird though. You’ll still have to upload, but you’ll have access to the files that you had uploaded before. So you can download them and re-upload. That’s what I had to do.

Well that’s weird, but good to know.

Hey guys. Quick question. Is my CPR certification not included in the Nurse Aide 1 program? Or do I need to get a CPR certification elsewhere before my Nurse Aide 1?

When I did it at CareOne, it was a separate training that we attended...had to attend on a Saturday morning to take care of it separately. I’m not sure how the Wake Tech NA1 works.

I was planning on going through care one. I was curious because I did look into wake techs and it was a pre-req for nurse aide. I’m just trying to time everything right so I don’t miss any deadlines. So if I sign up for care ones nurse aide 1 program, it’ll be included ?

I would verify it with CareOne because I took their class 3 years ago and not sure how they do things now but they arranged for someone to come in and do all our CPR certifications on a Saturday morning during the month we were taking classes. I currently work as a NA1 so I have to recertify every year and I do that on my own. I would give them a call and see how things are arranged now. If you end up going there, let me know how it goes! I loved the teachers and staff there and I hope it’s still a great experience if you decide to attend there!

Awesome, thank you! I definitely will. I plan on going there. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about them!
