CNA Career Posted at 6/26/2010 01:58:00 PM 0 comments (+) Being a certified nursing assistant is a career that a lot of people target to be these days. The education is not as long and expensive compared to pursuing nursing per se. A person can just attend cna training which is available in community colleges, pass the training and pass the state examination to be able to qualify for a job. In New York, a number of options are made available for cna hopefuls. The curricula in the schools are similar with each other in that a student must spend at least 130 hours in training that include classroom, lad and internship time.
