What classes should I take to go beyond min. CNA reqs?

Hi,

I tried looking this up for an hour or so to get answers, but I didn't find any, so this isn't laziness, I promise (perhaps it's just a show of how horrible I am at using Google, haha)! So, if you could help me out, that would be great.

I know what the general classes for a CNA would be, like the minimum for a certification after they pass testing, but I'm not really looking for minimum.

What classes should I take to have the best chances possible in getting hired in a decent place? What classes would show I went "above-and-beyond"? I would like to cover just about everything, so that I have options.

If you have an estimate about how much this would cost, that would be great, too. =]

Thank you for your time!

(Sorry if this isn't in the right category)

    There are different "levels" to a CNA--one of which is a restorative aid, and I am sure that there's others. In some states, it can be a CNA 1, CNA 2 and so on.

    I would look at some of the LTC facilities that are around you (and assisted living as well) and see what you can find as far as what levels they look for.

    A restorative aid for instance is more physical therapy based, doing ambulation, exercises and the like with residents.

    If you look up CNA certification in your state, it should give you a general outline of different levels and what you need to do them.

    If you are looking for more or different education, I would also look into EMT and even LPN.

    Best wishes!
