3 weeks nurse aide training question

[gwami]

I'll be taking a 3 week program at at a nurse adide training school. I was told over the phone that there will both be clinicals and clasroom classes. I was told its mon - thurs 10am to 3pm everyday. i was told that at the end of the program I will be qualified to take the nursing aide board exams.

My questions are

Are there anyone here who has gone through such a program at any traing school? If yes what was your experience?

What are my chances of getting a job? I plan on working part time during my RN schooling.

Are such institutes good in training nurses assistant? I ask this because cittone's medical assistance program is 9 mths while this one is 3 weeks.

I can only do a summer program before the fall semester begins.

Cittone program is medical assistant while this one is nurses assistance. What is the difference?

Many here have gone thur that program, the title that you will have once you pass your exam, is CNA, Certified Nursing Assistant. And it used to be mandatory to have in many nursing programs before you started.

So it is a definite plus to have. Good luck with your schooling.
