no college for a CNA. You have to go through a specialized program and pass the requirements. For an LPN it takes about a year.

The answer depends entirely on the Licensing requirements of the state in which you reside. For example: For the LPN, Florida requires one year of training, and it can be provided at a vocational or technical school, or a community (jr.) college. Of course this is followed by testing, Certification and Licensing.
Some states do require two full years of training before Certification and Licensing. In Florida, an LPN does not have the same duties as in some other states. For example: they cannot give injections, etc. They primarily assist the nurses and do basic patient care. The skill requirements are high as they hold very responsible positions.
As far as CNA, it may well be the standard two-week training, with further on-the-job training, and a two-year-interval educational update and refresher for continued Certification. However, the CNA is limited to more personal patient care, taking vitals, bathing, changing, and administering patient comfort in hospitals, mental health facilities, nursing homes and private home patient care. Here in Florida there is a very great demand for CNA's.
This is very general information. In no way do I presume to give specifics. I hope this answer will help you find good information for you to make your decision. Please refer to your local school guidance counselor, if you are in school, or your local Junior or Community College guidance counselors for specific information for your state. Your state employment office (Job Link here in Florida) may also be able to give you some information and guidance. Good Luck and God Bless.

No college necessary for CNA class Just take the classes, pass the tests and take the ARC test. That's American Red Cross.Do your clinical hours and for LPN that's about another 2 yrs plus clinical hours for that

LPN is pretty similar to RN. LPN have to have at least two years of school, more is available.
CNA, there are programs to teach that. Could run as little as two weeks. Sometimes get hired then, get rest of training and reimbursed for it. At least in my state.

lpn is a two year technical college. cna is less than a year at a tech school also. you would be better off in the long run if you went to a two year RN program at a tech school...more money and more options down the road.

You will need to take biology and chemistry , a&p1, sometimes they may also require a&p2 before acceptance, nutrietion. These are just the basics. There may be some additional ones depending on where you score at on the entrance test into college (say if you score low on math, you would have to take a math course) Good luck!!
