Noi_817,
Thank you. I finally did get through to TCC. Their cost is $458 + books + TB Test + CNA state test fee + CPR. They wouldn't tell me thier pass rate for the state test. I think the hourly demand on their students' time is a bit less and would easily allow one to work and take the class.
Spoke with Gideon, and they generously offered a bit of a scholarship which pretty much balances the cost. Their next class starts Thur 21 Sept. Classes are M-F 8:00-2:30 for 4 weeks. They were very helpful and informative if you want to call; ask for Mrs. Butler at 817-926-4545. They also help you find a job afterwards; two calls came in while I was in the office, both looking for a CNA. Their pass rate is 97%.
I haven't heard anything negative about either course, so I guess it's whichever one works into your schedule. Good luck and keep us posted!!

I posted a response to a thread once ( about 3 months ago) about a CNA class that was offered at Dunbar High school in Ft Worth. i think the company just uses the classroom space. I know the class is 3 months or so several days a weeks and the charge was something like $125. Do a search for CNA schools in DFW or N Tx and I bet you can find the info I posted. I know alot of CNA's that have gone there and been satisfied. Good luck to you!!!!!

I'm currently enrolled at the one at Dunbar. It's an evening course 2X a week. It's $144 including books. You need to buy your own stethoscope, sphygmom, thermometer and scrubs (white only). When the course is over, they are offering CPR course for about $22. It should be a short course, maybe just a day or 2 long. The price of the CPR course is not set in stone yet. If you're interested, you can call the school for more information.

This has me concerned as well, but it'll do you no good to worry about it. Just do your best.
