Can someone help me re nursing assistant?

Choua,

Your best bet is to do as other posters have advised you. Call local nursing homes to see if they have a cna training program. Other than that, you can look into grants. You may qualify for a grant that would pay for your cna training. No one here can tell you if you qualify for it or not. Please call tech schools in your area that offer cna training and ask them about grants. I know that here in Georgia, we have grants that will pay for cna training if the applicants qualify (financially). Of course, you can always look into phlebotomy training (drawing blood), front office assistant, unit clerk, medical assistant (back office), etc. All of these will get you into health care and then you can work on your desired career path. Go to schools in your area and ask what programs they offer. Some schools will even let you "sit in" on a class to see if it is something that you would be interested in. That's what I did when I went to school for medical assisting.

I am closing this thread because your question was answered. Please feel free to start a new thread if you come up with another question. We are more than happy to answer any questions that we can.

Sincerely,

Jay
