If you can tell me your state, I can direct you to the right people. Each state has its own laws and you have to find out the laws for your state. You might want to call the Nurse Aide Training Progrm in your state or the State Board of Nursing - both of these are state agencies and should be listed under Government Agencies
You can also go to the frequently asked questions at the top of the message board. Most of these questions will lead you to a list of the Nurse Adie Training Progrms for the individual states. There you will find phone numbers you can call.
Feel free also to contact us privately by email to cnajeni@aol. com

: Does anyone know of any programs offering such opportunity? Or perhaps websites where I can get information on this? I had been told that Thru at least 5 years of experience, CNA's can actually just take a state approved pharmacology class and be eligible to become an LVN...been researching on this issue on the web but to no avail. Please help! Thanks.
