20 Best Cna Programs In Charlotte, NC (2022 Updated)

I left a BSN program to attend CCHS and it was the best decision I ever made for my nursing career! Compared to the university I previously attended, CCHS classes are small and intimate, we had easy access to our teachers and advisors and we had a TON of hands-on clinical experience. I felt very prepared for the NCLEX as well as my first nursing job after I graduated. I then was able to work as an RN while taking classes online for my BSN after I graduated. I highly recommend CCHS to anyone interested in a career in healthcare and am proud to be a CCHS alummi!Kelly Carlisle

Two days ago, I received an acceptance letter into CCHS’s Neurodiagnostic Technology program! The application process was made easy due to great communication, kindness and patience from Robert, the Coordinator of Admissions. Mrs. Ashley Hastings, the Program Chair, answered all of my questions in detail, making me more eager to join the program. I am looking forward to gaining knowledge from her. All of the staff I have come across so far at CCHS has been welcoming and kind. I highly recommend applying to Carolinas College of Health Sciences.Ahyanna

I've attended CCHS for almost 2 years now. I like how the staff has worked diligently with student during COVID-19. While everyone is still going through difficult times, they have been able to adapt to regulations and restrictions of healthcare that have been placed during the pandemic. I truly enjoy attending CCHS and I know that once I graduate from the nursing program, I will have all the tools, training, and guidance needed to provide excellent care to all patients.Stephanie Lemons

This college has made a terrible impression. They got me admitted as a transfer student, and I have been preparing for the Fall session online, but to appear in person, and I just found out I missed the registration deadlines because student advising never got back to me. I took the new student orientation and the professor, just skimmed through all the info. There wasn't time for questions, and she cut it short by 30 minutes. It didn't even explain how to register online. I had been in communication and prepared for this session but didn't understand how to register so all the classes I had 'added to my schedule' weren't actually registered, and no one followed up with my questions. I thought I was registered, and even as I try to register now after the fact, it still says I need student advising which no one ever got back to be except for an email to say I already had everything set up. I am torn about this. Now I have to wait another session to get started?! NO! I will take my education somewhere where I can actually get assistance. This is such an emotional drag.Gabrielle Flores

CPR Works of Charlotte Staff are amazing. Not only are they professional, they have great communication and will help you through the entire process of signing up for classes/training. The online portion offered was very informative and detailed, & the in person training was very hands on. I’ve been to many places to obtain my CPR/FIRSTAID/AED certification but, CPR works team and staff are one of one. I will come back to renew my certification in 2 years!Jardyn Brown

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids ages 12 and 13 who are Scouts) signed up to take the HeartSaver CPR/AED Course through an organized HOA event in July 2022. The course was taught by staff from CPR Works and our instructor Mike was awesome! Would highly recommend this course to anyone – we learned so much from the course, so THANK YOU again to Mike and the folks at CPR Works!Chris Miller

CPR Works was amazing to work with. Their online registration was very easy to use and follow. Mike was great to work with and we appreciate Andy coming to the hospital to perform skills check for a very busy inpatient team. Thanks again CPR works for making recertification a very easy and smooth process. Highly recommended!stephanie kaltsounis

The CPR class with Dana and Stephanie was amazing. The class was well organized, the environment was comfortable and all the information provide was very clear. I will definitely be recommending them as instructors to everyone I know who needs CPR training class. K.WarrenK Warren

PHENOMENAL class!!! Instructors were full of great knowledge and answered all of our questions!! It was AWESOME that Stephanie was also former EMT-A trained and could provide us with real life scenarios to work through and give us TOP NOTCH answers!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!David Petersen

Very good training! Stephanie is a very knowledgeable instructor that made the training relevant to every day life situations and to our specific work place environment. My team and I thoroughly enjoyed this training. Highly recommend this training and this instructor!Kenny C. Ragsdale

This school is great. The staff was even greater. Very family oriented, caring, and provided a great and safe atmosphere. Let us just start with when you enter the building, and there is this warm and kind spirited receptionist( Mrs. Ireene) that greets you. Her daughter our instructor Ms. Grant was also amazing at what she did and was very stylish doing it; which I loved it made it more interesting and not so boring. All though Ms. Grant was very entertaining you can tell she knew her stuff. I loved that she only gave you what you needed and not the extra fluff unless you asked for it. I can guarantee you with Ms. Grant as your instructor there is no way you can fail unless you just do not come to class. I would recommend any and everyone to take her course especially if you are trying to learn a lot in just a short matter of time. Great School!!!sharipha thurston

Blooming Heart School of Health is a school like no other. When you enter, Ms. Irene greets you with a beautiful smile and welcomes you to the school. Ms. Grant continues this during the classes and makes everyone feel like they belong. Her teaching style is amazing and helped me retain so much information! The fun jokes and talks we had in class were really enjoyable. The skills lab and the teaching method Ms. Grant used to help us remember how to do all the skills was so different and helpful. This was my home away from home and if I could go back and redo my 4 weeks there, I would! I had an amazing experience, met so wonderful people, and learned awesome skills!Medha Muppuri

Ms. Grant is so passionate about creating a future of empathetic and hardworking nurse assistants and it shows. She is very thorough with all of the information needed to pass the CNA exam and skills test. Ms.Grant goes out of her way so that every student gets a full understanding of skills and concepts and uses real life examples to make lessons understandable. Blooming Heart School is organized, affordable, and flexible with day and night classes. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is interested in being a nurse aide or medicine aide in North Caroline. Ms. Grant is such a wonderful person and the school is absolutely fabulous.Annie Morgan

Class was concise and informative. The instructor was great! Funny and very informative. Would recommend CPR Certification Charlotte to anybody in Concord that needs to be CPR certified.Aina Sonata

Dana was my instructor she was absolutely wonderful, the class for BLS was as very informative and accessible for someone who’s a beginner, with little to no prior training!Alex Deloach

Dana was amazing. Very knowledgeable, and helpful. She covers all material and very patient with her students. I would definitely recommend her class to my fellow peers.Takia Strange

Being apart of the Intrepid Healthcare Training has been a wonderful experience. I would highly highly recommend for someone in need of CNA training. The instructor, Ms.Janet is very friendly and knowledgeable. She is informed and answers all questions as best as possible. Even through this class is a 5-week course and is fast paced. You do learn a lot in a short amount of time. Everything is done efficiently and efficiently to make sure that you pass for your CNA exam. The entire class makes you feel like you apart of a family and I would do it all over again if I could. Prices and training are also very reasonable and not outrageously overpriced for training. I will definitely be coming for more healthcare training in the future.Jen Fowler

The Staff at Intrepid Healthcare was extremely helpful and professional. The instructor was very informed and even gave assistance when it was needed, showed examples and performed task herself to give a visual reference! This was extremely helpful for my learning experience and completing the skills portion of my certification! I would recommend them to anyone for their CPR & First Aid Certifications!Charles Clea

Thank you so much for the adventure and the laughs. This company is ran by the most amazing 2 women I have ever met. Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Kim went out of their way to make this an amazing experience! They made my certification process a memorial tome and I am so grateful for this opportunity!Martha Myers

Shae was arguably the best teacher I ever had. She broke down everything so there was no room for misinterpretation! She was very understanding of everyone’s time and always answered all calls and text messages within the same hour! Shae always had snacks, juices, and water readily available for every single class (which is a perk!). Even after she taught you everything you need to know about Phlebotomy, she aids you with finding a job. She’ll give you interview tips, be your reference, and even use her contacts at different places of employment! Everyone in my class had a job before the program was over. Tish, her assistant, was super nice and always made sure everyone had everything they needed in order to succeed! I don’t regret a single day, or any money, put into this program!alicia lawrence

I am so glad I chose Veintastic to complete my phlebotomy training. The instructor Shay is by far the best instructor I have ever had! She is down to earth and very funny! She taught me every single thing I needed to know in order to pass my exam. The assistant was also great. She was willing to help out with whatever I needed. I didn’t have to purchase anything for that class. Everything was included from the pens and paper, all the way down to the uniform which I was able to choose from a variety of colors. If you are looking to take a phlebotomy class, Veintastic should most definitely be your choice!! I would take this class over and over again if I could!! I have truly enjoyed this experience! ❤️Christina Walker

Not only is Mrs Shay a genuine, caring, supportive teacher, she goes beyond and above for whatever you may need. This is definitely her gift and calling by the way she teaches. Her techniques are straight forward and understandable, so you won’t be too overwhelmed. Classes are small which is a plus. Supplies/exams are included which is a double plus. She is one of the most amazing teachers I’ve ever had. I see nothing but greatness and prosperity for her school and future students .AlishaRafael LilloGonzalez

Mission Med staff is a great place to work especially if your in school or need a part time job. They are extremely flexible with hours, and the staff are amazing when it comes to finding a replacement and understanding. They give you opportunities everyday to pick up extra hours or shifts if you want to work, so there is no need to worry about not getting enough hours. Mission Med staff is my first home health job, and I was nervous at first. Danielle was my first client care coordinator, she answered all my questions and concerns and made the transition into home health stress-free and ensuring that I would be in good hands. The reason I recommend mission Med staff is because you will meet a lot of amazing clients and the staff makes sure all your needs are met.Brittany Beck

I really love working for this company! They are very organized and and will only put you on cases that you feel comfortable with. The staff members are always so very helpful with any needs and are very quick to responding to any questions you have via email or phone. They offer good health benefits, PTO, flexible schedules and competitive salaries. I am very pleased with what I make there compared to most other home care agencies, I chose Mission Medstaff for the pay and I'm glad I did. I highly recommend working for this company, especially if you are a new grad or need a change of scenery. They are more than welcome to train you on areas you don't feel comfortable with, or need to brush up on. Don't hesitate to work for this company!! Thank you, Roseanne WestRose West

I really enjoy working Mission Medstaff! I’ve been with the company since October. I have never worked for a company that was so easy to work with. I love home health because you develop an entirely different bond with your patient and their family because you are in their HOME. My favorite scheduler is Angela Drinkard. I always go to her for anything and she is very quick to respond or find a solution. The hours and flexibility of home health don’t compare to anything else. Mission Medstaff is an excellent company to work with if you’re considering home health.kim rodriguez

I really enjoyed the staff and the faculty at the campus. The night classes came in handy if you work full time during the day or if you have small kids to take care of. Also, with so many online classes it is much easier to handle the work/life balance and responsibilities. I like how clear everything is to understand, how the faculty are subject matter experts and work with people who need extra attention and extra patience as life can be challenging when juggling so much. The people in financial aid and the Dean are really good about answering questions and providing guidance and support. The class structures being one at a time in the semester and the small amount of people in the class help make it easier to have a relationship with the faculty. Don’t get me wrong, if you don’t study and you don’t focus, you will not succeed. But if what you want to do is get right to the point, work hard and get a job, this is the place to go. I know other people who have studied in different places and I honestly feel like when we talk about what classes I had to take and what material I had to study, I really feel like I got a lot more out of the experience than they did with theirs. No regrets.Theresa Martinez

This school needs to learn how to listen to the students sometimes. I can say that with some of the reviews they are right about the money part if I would’ve did more research i probably would’ve went somewhere else because how is it that I signed up for classes and did all the paper work but then when school starts and begin classes that all of sudden the books cost more then you expected. You should have known that before classes started or during the process prices don’t change overnight. The instructor i had no longer works here but she was a very good teacher, she made sure that you understand everything and always tried to relate it to everyday life things to help you remember and only because of her am i glad that i came here because she really made me fall in love with my program. They really lost the best instructor ever!!! Overall i say do your research no school is perfect but they got some snakes at this school and its sad because we suppose to be adults.Erin Braynon

Private school scam! Young adults, please don't fall for this. Sharon Palmer will manipulate you into signing over to pay fifty thousand dollars for a five thousand dollar course. All they care about is money and their credits don't even transfer. I withdrew in Novmeber and they still are triyng to get me to pay loans for classes I never attended. When I called them today, they said they split your fafsa in half (which makes no sense) and use the other half for the next semester wherther you go or not. This way, if the half doesn't cover the semester you're forced to take out a loan. Coretha and Sharon palmer spammed me with emails at one and two in the morning trying to coerce me into signing things and making me feel like it was life or death. Do not trust this school and if you can, go somewhere else.X'zavia Woods

I love working for this agency it’s been the best 3 weeks so far. They sent me to this medical office and I instantly fell in love with it its so clean and nice and the staff are down to earth after I worked with them 3 days they wanted me to end my contract. They want to keep me here and the doctor I work for is amazing like I’ve never worked for anyone so amazing she’s a great listener communicator and it’s hard to find a doctor like that. I hope everyone who works with Nurses and More has an experience like I did their first go round. I never worked for an agency before but I just moved from Florida to North Carolina and I needed a job and they pay really well so I said I’d do this until I found a permanent office and lucky my first assignment that’s exactly what I found. Thank you nurses and moreIndia Morris

Love this company!!!! I just moved to the area and was looking for a great company to work with. Nurses and More got my hiring process done quickly and efficiently! As soon as I was hired on, they put me right to work! Love that they have multiple shifts and locations to choose from! Also, Any time I have a concern, there are MULTIPLE people in the office to assist me! I learned very quickly that they look out for their employees from day 1! They communicate with me on a regular basis about what’s going on with jobs, the current healthcare crisis, keeping myself safe as a nurse, etc!!!! Love Nurses and More! I’d recommend this company to any CNA , LPN, or RN!Tiona Richardson

I have been employed with Nurses and More for over 10years and the experience has been phenomenal. Flexible work hours and great pay options. I can’t explain the care they give to their staff and clients. Everyone is accredited and if not they help you in getting it completed. They go above and beyond to recognize good workers and give great gifts for employee appreciation, nurses week and throughout the year just because-the massages are to die for. Front office staff are professional and always makes sure we have a great time and fun during office luncheons and give aways. I couldn’t ask for a better place to work.Deirdre Watts

My experience with Mrs. Sabrina was amazing. Hands down she is the best instructor for this class. Most instructors throw a video on, & expect you to understand it all. But she was the opposite of that. She actually broke everything down, and provided extensive knowledge on the subject. And not to mention the delivery that she brings when doing hands on work. She showed us how to perfect the technique. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely come back to her class. HIGHY RECOMMEND…..Ytaja Curtis

I had the most wonderful experience with my instructor, Sabrina, here at the Northwest phlebotomy program! She takes the time one on one to teach us proper techniques so that we keep each other safe and ourselves. We are informed of all information needed so that we are prepared during practice and prepared for the real world. She is so sweet and educated, so it makes your nerves disappear when entering the classroom. I highly recommend her course!Katie Float

Ms. Sabrina was phenomenal! I literally was a nervous wreck but she went up and beyond to make me and all of my classmates feel comfortable and confident. I completed my practical and actually got blood with a straight needle! I’ll never forget this experience. Don’t hesitate! Take the class. It’s full of tips, tricks and real life scenarios. You won’t regret it. I promise.Brandi Yvette

I’ve taken many CPR classes over the years and hands down, Eric with CPR Now provided the best experience I’ve had. He was very personable, taking time to get to know everyone in the class. He related well with all, and the class was interactive. Eric told relevant stories throughout the training, some very humorous! The time went by quickly, and we were certified after practical hands on experience with adult and infant CPR. I fully recommend Eric with CPR Now for your next CPR training!Rebecca O'Donovan

One of the best classes i have ever taken. Eric is a wonderful instructor! not only was the class engaging, it was a very safe and comfortable environment. If i could rate the class a million, i would. ❤️❤️Makayla Hines

I really enjoyed the class. It was easy to follow and learn from. It also kept my attention throughout its duration (which is very hard to do). Thank you so much Eric!!! Can’t wait to do it again.Jada Moye

Brightstar has been a true blessing for my family. My brothers and I live in different states, distant from our mother who has Alzheimer's and lives in North Carolina with her husband. It is the care she receives from Brightstar that allows them to continue living together independently. The aides are pleasant, attentive, and well-trained. The leadership team at Brightstar will work with families to get the right fit of aides and clients. The aides communicate with the nurses, who make routine visits as well as visits to assess health needs as they occur. The leadership team has developed a care plan tailored to my mother's needs and which has changed as her needs have changed. Knowing that the Brightstar team is caring for our mother brings peace of mind. I recommend them to others that are looking for home care assistance.Steven C

Brightstar care is definitely the brightest star in my book! After spending all day on the phone calling different places,leaving multiple messages, half the phone numbers "no longer available" the ones I did manage talk to were not interested in wasting their time with just the 30 days of one hour medicated foot baths my Pops required. Garrett with Brightstar was wonderful. He even managed to find someone who could start right away even though it was during the 4th ofJuly holidays!! Then when the girl who was scheduled to work decided she wouldn't anymore, HE filled in for her and did my Pops foot baths while attempting to find new coverage for the rest! WOW! Talk about commitment to your company! He really bent over backwards to be helpful! Thank you so much again Garret and Brightstar of Charlotte.MsTerrie123

BrightStar Care of Charlotte was a lifesaver service for me. I was told with less than a two day notice I needed surgery. Because I was going under general anesthesia the hospital required me to have someone with me during the procedure and to take me home. I live by myself, no family in the area and all my friends are fully employed. The thought of asking someone to take off from their jobs and sit in a waiting room was not an option for me. BrightStar found that person. She was very nice and caring and was willing to do anything I needed. The whole BrightStar staff was extremely empathetic to my situation and did whatever they needed to do to make sure I was taken care of and I could focus on the surgery and not a ride home.Karen Allen

They dont even deserve any stars. I was new to traveling and they took advantage of that and led me to believe so many different things. Like a per diem pay (daily allowance) and a contract. Which I never signed any paperwork nor was spoken to about what was entailed. I received an email and then I was asked what I would need help with and I stated a hotel, they agreed just to turn around and take money out of my check for the cost of the hotel. And when I asked for help with food for the first week so I could survive they helped but then turned around and took money from my check without my knowledge. They owe me close to $500 in paychecks that they took money from me without my knowledge and when I asked for my pay stub they refused to give me but managed to give all other employees theirs. Also Natasha has been super rude and has been lying about conversations that didnt happen, but thankfully I have proof of emails and text messages. If I would have known all of this I would NOT have signed on with them.Amber McCarthy

Professional and quality staffing company. Highly recommended for facilities and job seekers for the roles of Certified Nurse Aide (CNA), State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA), Medical Assistant (MA), License Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN), Physical Therapist (PT), Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Therapist (ST)Huzefa Penwala

Crest Nursing Group is a great company to work for. The people care for their employees. They make sure that their workers have their 40 hours for the week. Pay is on time and you get paid every week. Very professional. A very good company to work for. Thank you Tracey TarrantTracey Tarrant

Miss T is the best teacher I have ever had! I have never felt so well supported, encouraged and uplifted during a course. Miss T is the most beautiful person, inside and out, and knows her material extremely well. She teaches with kindness and confidence every single day. She has changed my life and the lives of my classmates forever and I will always be grateful to her and the amazing experience we had in her class. If you need to take phlebotomy, take it with her, hands down the greatest teacher you’ll find!Makaela Morris

Just finished me CNA 1 class at CareOne and I am so happy I did. CareOne staff are friendly, organized, and very caring. They will help you get through any course you take but it's up to you to put in the work. I did the weekend class, which included 12 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Although the days were long it went by so fast and I made some great friends throughout the journey. Thanks CareOne and I look forward to signing up for another class!Stephanie Ozinga

The teachers at Care One are really thorough and helpful. They are happy to answer questions and show you things as you need. The curriculum is set up to be easily digested even though it’s an accelerated program. The admins are helpful and polite. Overall I had a really good experience and if you’re looking to get your CNA this is a good place to do it!Johnna Adamo

I signed up to take the phlebotomy hybrid course and paid the money for it. They called me the day before the class was supposed to start saying they did not have enough people in the class. I understood business can be slow but I still haven’t received my refund. I tried to dispute the charge on my credit card and they denied the dispute. Here it is a month later and they still have my money. I should have been refunded my money back immediately because of the mistakes on their behalf. Maybe next time don’t have someone pay for something that you can not provide. Update: I would love to see any documentation that my refund is being processed. I ensure you that I was called the day before class was supposed to start stating “ there was not enough people in this class. We don’t know when another class is starting just yet but we can email you…”. Due to the lack of professionalism, I decided to take a class elsewhere. I would not recommend this place to anyone and being that I work in the medical field I’ll be sure to let everyone interested know.Shakeena Campbell

Let me start by saying that, I have been trying to enroll into an affordable Phlebotomy program for over a year.! Well, November of last year my wish came true! A.I.M.Medical Training College came right on time! This was hybrid class due in part to covid-19 protocol, the first 6 weeks were online, with weekly virtual classroom time. Then, approximately two weeks of clinicals! All of the instructors were knowledgeable and have decades of experience in Phlebotomy. I would absolutely recommend this school to anyone who is interested in learning a new skill or adding on to you current Healthcare profession. Thank you ladies! I'll see you all again. Tell them Cory sent you!😁cory bynum

I was in the phlebotomy hybrid program. I am extremely proud to say I graduated from the program. If you are every interested in the class and you got Mrs. Frazier as your teacher you are set. Not saying the other instructor are not great but I got Mrs. Frazier. I love her she was a phenomenal instructor that will challenge you & press you for greatness in her class. I just wish the class was longer than eight weeks (six weeks online & two weeks in class). If you do not graduated it is your own fault because they have the resources to help you.Dee Spencer

Worse nursing company ever. Rude employees in office call and talk to you however they want. Mess up paperwork which could be potentially dangerous to the client. They also do not do background checks on their nurses or if they do they still allow them to work. I have proof. Please please if your child needs nursing care do not allow this neglectful company to care for them!Desiree Bartholow

I have been working for Maxim Healthcare for 2.5 years now. In that time they have strived to help me provide excellent care. If I were full time the benefits would be excellent, they do provide some benefits to part time personnel also though I don't use them. They have been one of the best home healthcare agencies I have worked with.Valerie d

Poorly ran company since Hickory closed. They short pay hours almost every pay period and refuse to correct it. Trying to consolidate locations to save money but cant keep up oh and they expect people living in other states to maintain payroll virtually? NegativeAustin Dakota Millsaps

My experience with the American Red Cross was bad from the start but because I had an amazing manager it made the work day a little less stressful because she treated her team with respect. Pay was decent but the hours were extremely long, break was very short and job description very misleading. When I applied with the ARC they stated I will be a Customer Service Representative which I have done for many years. However, they never stated I will be a recruiter. I was highly upset because I was not told until my 2nd week of training. Imagine every day calling people to harass them to donate blood I felt like a VAMPIRE , a bill Collector. People curse you out because they are receiving calls 3 times a day. 10 hours shift ,working from sun up to sun down literally !R. Brown

I've been with Red Cross for some years and I enjoy going to the one on Park Road they are very friendly, courteous, respectful and professional they treat you like a family instead of just wanting your blood. They inform you of the different types of blood that you can donate. There is never a dull moment they keep you informed on your next appointment if you like, before your next schedule appointment you should eat iron-fortified food and drink another glass of water before donating.In other words they're very knowledgeable in helping the unfortunate ones out, I feel that's why God giving me the health and strength that I need to continue to donate and I love it. Have A Blessed Day.Jimmy Ivey

I have had a horrible experience there it's nearly impossible to get in touch with anyone at all ..when I was in training there was favoritism going on and rude remarks from the other employees who have been there 15+ years .I feel like if they need ppl why treat new employees like that it's ridiculous.its been over a month and a half to get in touch with anyone about switching my position for stable hrs and this has put me in a down fall with my income .there is definitely alot of work that needs to be done .sev7

Ms. Melissa is definitely someone I will never forget. She really cares about all of her students and strives to make sure we retain the information in the best way possible. We could have used better learning material as far as worksheets, quizzes and visuals, but over all i learned a lot and it was a really great experience. Thank you Ms. Melissa for all your hard work and dedication to all of your classes and students.Alexis Alexander

Ms. Melissa is a great instructor. She helped me feel prepared for the exams and my practicals. Answered any questions I had and made sure I understood before we moved on.Tori Springsteen
