Anyone know where to get free CNA training in Minnesota?

Published

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.
