Anyone been through the CNA program?

I am starting the CNA program soon…does anyone know if I will be required to purchase anything other than nursing scrubs, shoes, for example, do we need stethoscopes. I heard some nursing classes require you to get a “nursing kit” which has stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, etc. Or is that only for LPN/RN programs?

I am an RN and I never had to buy a blood pressure cuff, your employer will have these available. You should not have to buy anything other than a stethoscope and scrubs. When I went through my cna class we only had to buy the books. I would call the school you are attending and ask just in case, they can give you the best information since every program is different. Good luck and I hope you have fun in your class
