Anyone know where to get free CNA training in Minnesota?

I've been looking all over but can only find places that charge you for the training. Like 800 bucks for a 5-6 week course. That fee included all the materials and all but it still seemed high considering a CNA doesn't make that much. I am looking at going to nursing school but thought being a CNA would give me some experiance, not to mention some nursing school require it to even apply. Any suggestions?

I have heard any facility that accepts money from medicaid is obligated to pay you for your CNA training. I worked at a nursing home in Farmington and got paid for my CNA course after 6 weeks of work. The hospital I talked to in Northfield also paid for it. Call facilities and ask. I am sure most will.

Thanks a lot Lukeslichy.

I'll definitely get on that as there are a large number of nursing homes, etc., here in the twin cities.
