Where can i take a CNa program at age 16 here in CA?

im about to be 16 and im interested in being a nurse i would like to start as a CNA but i dont exactly know where to start or what program or anything!

According to California CNA requirements, you only have to be at least 16 years of age. A couple of my cousins became certified when they were 17 and I am currently also a CNA here in CA.

Talk to your school counselor. He/She should point you in the right direction. Usually there are ROP programs around that have CNA programs so look into that too.

If not, here is a CA website with all approved CNA programs:
http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ct/rp/cna.asp

Find your county and look for a program that suits your needs (you may have to call them to get more information).

Hope this gives you some help and good luck.
