CNAs make a difference.
Becoming a CNA, or certified nursing assistant, used to require long hours at a community college or nursing home. Now, you can study for a career in the medical field while still in your pajamas. Several schools offer online paths to CNA certification. Most CNA programs require six to 12 weeks of training (beyond obtaining your high school diploma or GED) in CPR, patient care and related tasks.
St. Augustine Nursing Assistant School
At St. Augustine, you can complete your training in six to eight weeks. Virtual clinical labs allow you to train online to acquire the practical skills needed in this field, such as taking blood pressure. St. Augustine stands alone in this regard: Most schools require on-campus clinical experience and monitored, hands-on practice. St. Augustine allows self-paced study over the Internet, 24-hours a day.
