Hi All. I'm new to Philadelphia (just paid my second month's rent!) and ultimately want to become an RN. I'm currently working in Real Estate, and it's ok, and a second job in food service. I'd like to get some health care experience and becoming a CNA seems to be the best way to do it while waiting for instate tuition and to save up for a bit.
I'm looking for CNA training programs in Philadelphia, and for some reason I'm having issues with the google search- I'm just turning up a lot of directory pages that just lead me to more searches and whatnot. So, where to go for CNA training in the city? Are there any places in the city that would offer free training in exchange for me committing to work there as a CNA?
Any advice, links, program names would be appreciated.
I just called Frankford hospital School of Nursing and they al so offer a CNA program. Its $1405, and there are grants available. They have f/t or p/t nights so it may work for you NNPwannabe...The next f/t class starts Aug. 31. I'm not sure if I should take this one or the program at the Red Cross now. Suggestions anyone? The only difference is, the Red Cross's program gives you CPR certification too. The number is 215 528 0101 to The Frankford School of Nursing CNA Dept.
