I want to become a CNA...need a program in Dallas area that's reasonable if not free!

Published

Hello everyone, I am currently taking prereqs for ADN at Mountain Veiw College in Dallas Texas. Lately I've been thinking ahead about the possibility of not being accepted the first time I apply. I would like to have a backup plan just in case that does happen. So I firgure why not get my CNA liscense also. The thing is that I need a program that offers classes on the weekends so I can still take my RN classes through the week. I get financial aid but I'm williing to pay for my CNA out of pocket. If anybody know of any good programs...even online please let me know. Thanks in advance

Why dont you do the CNA classes at Brookhaven College, El Centro, Richland etc. Any of the DCCCD. They are 500. And they have a TPEG grant for 500, so its practically free, without the cost of books. Go to the Continuing Education program at the campus and see if they have any TPEG grants available. I know there is also a program at Dunbar High School for about 200. Its in Ft. Worth, they fill up fast though, hopefully this helps.

Thanks it does help...but if I apply for the continuing ed class will they let me take it along with my other courses. I ran into a problem when I registered for my Fall classes last week...the classes I wanted made my course load total 18 credits so I was told to drop a class so now I have 15 credits.
