If you're still looking for a program, then let me suggest going through the WDA/WIA. That's the Workforce Development Agency off of Pollard Blvd in downtown Atlanta. If you are unemployed or underemployed, then you will qualify for assistance from the State of Georgia. They will pay for your CNA education just like they did for my PCT. I was giving $3000 for my program at Woodruff Medical Training and Testing for the PCT program which includes CNA, EKG Tech, Phlebotomy Tech, and First Aid/CPR/AED for healthcare professionals. The school gives you a grant to take care of the remaining money that's owed. Anyway, depending upon where you live or work, then that will determine the amount of funds you receive from Uncle Sam. Go to the www.atlantaregional.com, click on workforce solutions, click on training and education services, then read the information on that page. If you click on the link towards the bottom of the page called the Georgia Eligible Training Provider List, then you can see all of the schools GA will pay for through the WDA/WIA. The Atlanta Regional Commission takes care of the residents in Cherokee, Clayton, Douglas, Fayette, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale counties. A friend of mine received $8000 from Gwinnett towards school. If you don't use all of the money they give to you, then you can go to another school or college even. Please feel free to send me a message if you need anymore information. There's nothing better than FREE education. Trust me...I complete my program for Patient Care Technician on July 30th when I take and pass my national exam. It didn't take me long to do it. Only 5 months worth of classes and a 1 month externship that I'm getting ready to start really soon. It doesn't matter if you decide to work as a CNA, you will have more options by getting your PCT (EKG/PCT/Phlebotomy/CNA) as opposed to the CNA certification alone. I hope this helps. Good Luck!:yeah:

Specializes in Student nurse and CNA in Georgia.

there's a program in suwanee on lawrenceville-suwanee road and I-85. it's a 7 week course and the class is small (more student/professor communication) and it's run by an RN who has a heart for future health care workers. it meets 2 or 3 times a week for 2-3 hours per class. the cost was $1040 for the course, textbook, scrubs, and processing of license results. the extra fees i had to pay were the exam costs (but the license exam was at the same location as my course so i had home advantage with my skills) which everyone has to pay anyways to take the test.

my professor really helped me and she understands where a lot of nursing-related students come from. she's very supportive and as long as you do your part as a student, she will have no problem with you and it'll be an awesome experience like it was for me. i am now an in-home caregiver in the Atlanta area with Senior Helpers but i am also a nursing student now.

the place is called EK Medical Learning Center at (678)714-9620 and ask for Eurina. tell her that Helen sent you with great recommendations. :)
