CNA Training in Minnesota

If you live in the state of Minnesota and want to become a certified nursing assistant, you will need to find a training course.  Nursing assistants provide basic care for patients and assistant patients with activities of daily living.  When you are searching for a CNA program, you must verify that the program is approved by the state of Minnesota. Read school reviews below.

You will need to find a training program that matches your schedule and your budget.  Keep in mind that the State of Minnesota requires that certified nursing homes and boarding homes reimburse employees for their CNA training after the individual has been employed for at least 90 days.

You can receive reimbursement for your CNA training program after you become employed.  When you are taking your training course, it is important to keep receipts from all your associated costs. You will need to provide your employer with details on the cost of tuition, books, supplies and any of your training tests.  They will use this information to reimburse you.  You can easily be on your way to a career as a certified nursing assistant by finding an accredited training course when you are living and planning to work in Minnesota.

    I just need to test out of a course so I can renew my certification. I’ve been working as a CNA for the last year but with less pay because my certicication isn’t up to date. Can I just call any facility and ask to test our of the course? Is there a special place to go just for tests? Is there a way to have the facility pay for me to take the test so I can avoid the testing fee?
    Thanks in advance:)
