New York CNA Course Info. PLEASE HELP

Hi! I've recently decided I am going to continue my education in nursing but need some money before i dedicate my life to school.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any free or close to free courses i can take to become a certified nurse aid in new york (nyc / long island area). i've been looking at classes and they can run up to 900 dollars, which i deffintly do not have.

if anyone has any answers on where i can go to recieve the training and certification with little to no cost youd truly be saving my life

thanks for your help
