How to be accepted into a CNA training class at a nursing home?

Posted about 4 years ago I want to be a CNA and a local nursing home offers training classes. A friend applied and didn't get accepted for classes. What are the instructors or CNA themselves looking for when one is applying to be accepted into a CNA training program at a local nursing home? |

| Posted about 4 years ago I just called one toady and they said that they are overwelmed with people wanting the training, They also said that they have to train at least one per year to keep thier licence. Its getting tougher all around. |

| Posted about 4 years ago With the economy the way it is a lot more people are turning to medical because they think it is recession proof. My local nursing homes have a waiting list for the training....they are saturated with applicants and at this point they can afford to be very selective. Good luck, keep trying and also check with your local community colleges, they offer CNA training, you would have to pay for it, but this could give you an edge. |

| Posted about 4 years ago Too many people applying for something that is easy and fast to get into. But the pay sucks. If your willing to put your time and effort into a CNA program, why not go one step further and apply for the LPN program? More money, more learning experiance and better recognition.

| Posted about 4 years ago I know there are waiting lists at many of our local nursing homes for CNA's, right now they are completely swampped with applicants. Local community colleges have CNA programs, I am not sure of the cost, but you could check into some of your local community colleges regarding that program. |
