did you ever find a cheap cna course in the east bay?

Never heard back from you so don't know if you found a good CNA course. But for others with the same question: sources of CNA courses: local community colleges, local adult education/job placement schools, local long term care facilities, local private schools, occasional private vendors (there was one advertising in the Palo Alto local paper), your local chapter of the Red Cross. Community colleges or local adult education/job placement schools are the best choices. Community colleges offer college credit that may be required for their nursing programs. Good luck to anyone looking for CNA courses.

Thanks for the list, MagicHospital.

I want to add Northern California Nursing Academy.

www.ncnursingacademy.com

My classmates come from various areas of the Bay Area - East, South and North because NCNA is the most affordable and flexible to our schedule. Not to mention, the school have a high passing rate on the Certification Exam.
