People e mail from all over our country,
asking me, how to go about becoming a CNA
Well, Basically, I remember how I began.
but, What I would like, is to find resources
from CNA's themselves, how they began
and what the cost is (in a round give or take figure)
Each state, has a different way they do this.
Be it by enrolling in a Nursing home, and they send you off to a community college,
or, Just going to a local NH and taking their training there, with respect to staying on at said facility for a duration of time.
Or....
Paying out of pocket expense,
and going to a community college of Choice,
getting certified and going to a LTCF
of a personal choosing. without haveing to feel obligated to say on at one that trains you.
So, what are your experiences in this if you care to discuss it so others may have a good idea of what to expect.
