It was a 6 credit/1 quarter course and after I finished with it I was qualified to register as a Nursing Assistant and eligible to take the state exams for certification to work as a CNA, or as it is often called in our state a NA-C. I absolutely loved the course! It is offered at most of the local community colleges in our area, so I would imagine that one near you may offer it as well. I would start looking there. Good luck! Here is a link to give you an idea of what the general Nursing Assistant course requires and what to expect. Just click on Certification as a Nursing Assistant- http://www.spscc.ctc.edu/academics/programs/nursing/index.html.<br><b>References : </b><br> I took the Nursing Assistant course offered at our local community college.
