Affordable CNA Course?!
-
Hey all! I'm currently an NAR working at an AFH in Spokane, Wa and I need to become certified within 150 days of hire and it's closing in around that time for me. My question to you all is this; Does anyone know of a relatively affordable way to become a CNA in Spokane, Wa that does not involve signing up for an expensive college course? I would like to be able to find someplace that will get me certified for around six hundred dollars or less. Any tips would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

CNA
Specialty: 20+ year(s) of experience in DD, Mental Health, GeriatricJul 28, '12Most courses that I've seen take about 6 weeks...so I think you are starting a bit late. Check the local adult education at the highschools or the local community colleges.Jul 28, '12Hey Skayda!
Well..I got my CNA at the american red cross. it was a 1 month program and it cost about $600 (I don't know the exact amount) back in 2010. The price has probably changed since then. I do know, however, that they told me that they would pay for it if I knew someone (like father or mother or grandparents) was or is presently in the military and all I would have to do was write an essay about it. I don't think it's all american red cross locations, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
I know where I live there is a place called the NHC and they would train you for free if you are selected for the program.
I wish you luck!
