My sister and my wife are Certified Nurse Assistants so I have been around CNAs for a long time. I think the basic and most important requirement for someone is their personality. A CNA needs to be a positive, compassionate, happy, understanding, honest and a people’s person. You must love helping others and most importantly, have patience. Another thing you must be ready to commit is your time. A typical CNA works around 40 to 60 hours per week so make sure you can stay long hours before committing to a CNA program.

I live in Los Angeles and know of few places within 5 miles of my house that currently offer CNA programs. You can contact your local hospitals and community colleges in and around your town to find out if they offer CNA programs and get all the requirements needed to find the best one suited for your needs.

To become a CNA n your state may vary from other states so check with your county to find out how many hours of exact training you need.
