Becoming a CNA in Florida
Florida is unusual in giving you two distinct paths to becoming a CNA, and the choice matters more than most candidates realize. If you have any prior healthcare experience — medical assistant, home health aide, EMT, military medic, or internationally trained nurse — the challenge-exam pathway can put you on the registry in as little as 2 to 4 weeks for around $250 total. If you are starting from zero, a 120-hour training program is the lower-risk choice even though it is not legally required, because first-time challengers without healthcare experience have a much lower pass rate on the skills portion of the Prometric exam than program graduates.
Minimum Age
