Which Colleges Have a CNA Program Online?
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.
