DALLAS CNA schools?


I've found information on lots of them, and I was wondering if anyone had a particular recommendation for any CNA schools in the Dallas Area. All the other sources I read seemed to be written by the people who worked for the school and I'd rather an unbiased opinion (or as near coming to it as i can get, lol)
I have found wildly varying prices, from $160 for the class to $1,000, and I am just not sure where to go! Money is a huge object because I am borrowing the money for CNA school from a family member and I would prefer not to borrow more than $500... Dallas Area (esp. the east side) schools preferred but any opinions welcome.

Thank you in advance

I just signed up with Hearts in Training. I have heard good things about them, and I liked what I saw today. The cost is 900 dollars tuition. They are running a special right now. Supplies are free. Check out their website at heartsintraining.com

Did you like the Hearts in Training Program? Is it worth $900 or should I look elsewhere?

Do you know any CNA schools in the Forney/Mesquite/East Dallas area? Sigh, $900 is a lot...

Don't pay $900 for Hearts in Training, it's definitely not worth it.

C.E. Global Health Education in Mesquite charges $585 for everything included and they're really nice people. Maria Career Institute charges something like $500 too, I think, but their classes run less often.
