If you’re about to start your CNA class, one of the questions you may ask yourself is, “What are the things I need to buy for my class?” This blog post will answer your question and ensure you get what you need for your classes.

There are two sections to the CNA programs: the clinical and classroom portions. Each part will require its own set of school supplies. Each program is different and may require you to purchase unique items, so check with your school leader to see what things are needed.

It is important to note that CNA supplies are state-specific. This is because states have different skills they require. You may view your state’s equipment list on your state's official Nurse Aide website or your skills checklist. 

Final Notes

This is a general guide of what is usually needed to buy for a CNA class, and what is required still varies based on the school you enrolled in and your state. These items are the bare necessities of what CNAs use for course and clinical training. Regardless of how much you might spend on your training, remember that an investment in knowledge pays the best interest for your future. Good Luck!
