I would like to train to become a CNA, but the college classes offered here are not friendly to my work schedule. I kind of wanted to do this as soon as possible. I am currently a dish washer and while I know I should appreciate having a job it is not something I really care to do. I make 9.50 an hour as a dish washer but I don't want to wash dishes for ever, let alone work at a grocery store. There are two techinical colleges here that offer the CNA course, the closest one is full, and wont start again until the summer, and the one in the next city isn't full yet, but I take the bus and getting there in the am would render me late each class. then on top of that, it ends at 4:30 pm, and I have to be to work at 5 pm. I work from 5 pm- 11pm, so If I decided to pursue this it would have to be in the am. I am pretty stuck right now and don't know what to do as I can't physically take the strain anymore I have to endure on this job, and the work pace is extremely fast and unsettling. I don't want to quit my job because then i'll have no income coming in, but in the same breath I'd do it in order to pursue something more humane and responsible.

Try the public adult schools first. Just try to find a quality course. Many of my classmates had regrets enrolling and even considered getting a refund at my school. It's all about the resources and the quality of the teacher.
