A good resource for finding nursing homes that are state approved to offer nurse aide training classes in PA is at http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-assistant-pa.php. From what I understand many facilities will cover the expenses for your training, unlike community colleges or private schools. Good luck

You might want to take a look at http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-ok.php, it has nursing homes, colleges, and private CNA schools to pick from. All of them offer state-approved CNA courses. Good luck!

If you are still searching for facilities who are offering CNA training then I would suggest looking at http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-in.php. I agree with what other members have posted above, most nursing homes will train you for free. You must call around and see which ones have available programs though. Good luck!

I think working as a CNA while in nursing school is a good idea, as it will give you hands-on experience with clients and a taste of what is like to work in a health care environment. If you are looking for a training program at a nursing home I would recommend choosing one in your area from http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-va.php. Community colleges tend to be pricey and to focus less on clinical practice than do long-term care facilities. It is ultimately up to you to choose a program that fits you best.

I would take a look at http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-ca.php where they have all the state-approved CNA program providers in California. Make sure you look at all the pages they have and pay attention to the town. Make a list of the nursing homes in your area and call them up. As far as I know they will train you for free. Good luck to you!

There are nursing homes that will train you for free as long as you will commit to working for them. The majority of CNA training providers in Tennessee are nursing homes and community colleges. For a complete list of state-approved programs check out http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-tn.php. You must call and inquire about the training, schedules, etc. Good luck!

CNA programs listed by county can be found at http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-ga.php. I found this resource very helpful in terms of locating classes, contacting NAR registries, etc. Hope it helps!

You can find a free listing of all the CNA programs in Georgia at http://www.cnatips.com, make sure you choose CNA Classes from menu and then pick your state from the map. Good luck!

Hi, My advice would be to first complete a CNA program and see if you like working in health care. While you work as a CNA take your pre-requisites for nursing school, preferrably for an accelerated BSN program. There are accelerated BSN programs out there that require just one year to complete (after you have all your pre-reqs). Nursing school is NOT easy, especially when you do a fast-track program. You must apply in advance to make sure you will get accepted once you finish your pre-reqs and do not have to wait too long. If you need a list of state-approved CNA programs in your area check out http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-ga.php and select the county you are interested in from the map available there. Some of these programs may be free if taken at a nursing home. It's very important that you become a CNA first do see if you truly want to be an RN later on. While the two jobs are NOT the same, you will get to experience working in a health care environment, and helping patients with ADLs (bathing, feeding, turning, etc.) which is part of nursing as well. Before you spend lots of money in nursing school make sure you really want to make a carreer out of it! Best of luck to you!

Take a look at the CNA programs and nurse aide schools listed here: http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-mi.php. You might also use their CNA exam practice tests and video section later on, after you complete the class and get ready for the state evaluation. Good luck to you!

For a free list of CNA programs in California you may want to take a look at http://www.cnatips.com/classes/nurse-aide-ca.php. They have a very useful map that allows you to choose the region (county) of interest and the results include long-term care facilities, private schools and community colleges. As far as I know many nursing homes are willing to train for free but I would call and ask for specifics. Good luck!

For a free list of CNA programs in any state you can look at http://www.cnatips.com where you can pick your state and see what facilities offer training. It does not say which programs are free or what the cost is; you need to call and find out yourself. I found this helpful since you can just focus on the providers in your particular area. Good luck to everyone out there searching for classes!

As the other members have advised, you can go to the state Board of Nursing site and search for programs there. I found a nurse aide program in my area from http://www.cnatips.com you can check there too. Good luck!

I want more! he he thanks for making me smile!:blushkiss

Congratulations!!! About Bio and Chem...Biology is a prereq. to Microbiology -- if you never had Bio it would be hard to make sense of Micro. Chemistry is also helpful for Micro. and some colleges require basic Chem. as a prerequisite (not all colleges though, like the one you got accepted to). I know it might feel like you wasted your money for those two classes, but I think they are a good investment in building a base for your future knowledge!
