What was/is the length of your CNA program?

Yes --- I just posted a response to another query about reciprocity among the states and mentioned that it has been continually proposed that CNA programs be standardized among all the states. Not the text, but at least a general curriculum and standards for hours in classroom and clinical. Possibly, even standardize the skills tests and not 'pick and choose' skills randomly to be tested in. It would be better for the entire CNA market to have that standardization and allow people to go from state to state with their certification.

hi,I havent started class yet,but the class I will be taking at redcross is 5 weeks 4 days a week 9am-4pm,50 clinical hours.

I start in November, but mine is almost 5 weeks long 2 times a week for 8 hours a day.

Oregon requires 75 classroom hours and 75 clinical hours. I took the class in 4 weeks, 5 days a week 7am-3pm.

Days - Mon-Thur, 9 am - 1 pm, 7-9 weeks or Evening course - 3 nights per week, 5 pm - 9 pm, 10-12 weeks. The program could be 7 / 10 weeks, but in the event the instructor may be ill or class cancelled due to snow storm, they might add a week or two.

I start mine at TTC Knox Tn Nov. 20 through Dec. 18, 108 clock hours

M-F 8am to 2:30p 90 classroom hrs. 18 Clinic hrs. I Can't wait!
