An honest breakdown of what makes Washington's 108-hour CNA program hard and what does not: the pace, the skills checklists, clinical shifts, the two-part exam, and the specific points where students struggle.
Pregnant students complete Washington CNA training regularly. How the 108 hours, clinical placement, TB testing, infection precautions, and the skills test fit a pregnancy, and the questions to bring to your clinician.
What CNA training asks of your body: transfers with a gait belt, repositioning, hours on your feet in the skills lab and 40 clinical hours, and which accommodations programs and test sites can and cannot make.
What Washington CNA students must show before the 40 clinical hours: TB screening, the immunization records most nursing facilities ask for, who sets the rules, and how to get it done before class starts.
Washington CNA students complete at least 40 clinical hours in a licensed nursing facility with an instructor on site at all times and no more than 10 students per instructor. What those shifts look like, and what you need before day one.
