To Be, Or Not To Be, a CNA

The couse takes place over 3 weeks. The program is given at our nursing
home. There is a final exam before being issued a certificate to prove
an individual successfully completed the program.

Hello JoAnn,

I am actually asking for research purposes so I would appreciate it if
you could still answer my questions.

Sincerely,

Hello,

I am interested in learning about your CNA training program. How long
does the program last? I would also like to know if you offer part of
the training at a hospital or if all of the training occurs at Marian
Manor. If there is training at a hospital, how long does that part of
the training last? Is there a licensing exam at the end of the program?

Sincerely,

Carolyn V. Wojcik
