6,200.00 Who are they kidding? For a CNA 5 month course..

HOLY!! I just spoke to someone from the "Academy for Practical Nursing" here in West Palm Beach, FL since they are near my home. I asked them about the CNA program b/c I'd like to have something under my belt before I try for the LPN at a Community College, she says to me that the course is involved with Patient Care Assisting. 5 months around 6500.00.

Were a university told me that you really dont need much schooling to begin as a CNA. ummm...maybe I should just try to go for the LPN, I hear it is hard to get in at Palm Beach Community College! UGH! Is anyone going to this college that can tell me otherwise? Thanks

well, so long as the cna courses are being called "nursing" by the news media, why not charge that much to teach nursing hopefuls???
