Cheap CNA Classes in Indiana

Nursing Assistant Questions and Answers

I just have a few questions you might be able to answer. I am a single mother with two kids and I am having a hard time finding a job, so I would like to become a CNA. The Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood, Indiana has classes that start in October for $525.00 dollars. I am not currently in school so do you know anywhere closer that classes start sooner or cheaper? I don't want to wait untill October. I want to start taking classes as soon as possible.
You should locate all long-term care facilities in your area which are listed as providers of CNA training classes. I would contact them by phone or stop by their location and ask if they need to hire CNAs or if they have a nursing assistant training program. Some nursing homes will train you for free, pay for the expenses associated with the certification exam, and offer you employment upon graduation. Good luck!

What is your advice regarding accelerated nurse assistant courses? Is an accelerated CNA course as good as a traditional one?
Accelerated CNA programs have their benefits when compared to traditional courses. The obvious advantage is that it takes a shorter amount of time to complete an accelerated nurse aide course than a traditional program. Students who are quick learners and have good study habits do very well in these type of programs. You should expect a very fast pace in both the classroom and the clinical setting. To cover the program curriculum in a short period of time, daily attendance may be necessary. For example, even though an accelerated CNA course may take only two weeks to complete, students must attend classes five days per week, for approximately six hours each day. If you are currently employed and wish to keep your job, this type of program may conflict with your current schedule. The cost of an accelerated nurse aide training course is usually similar to that of traditional programs.
