I've decided to take the Red Cross one too. Which month and which location are you going to btw?

I heard about some place in Waterford called Canterbury on the lake? I think thats a LTC with training....Are you close to Waterford?

nobody here from Mich????

Thank you sugarcoma! I saw that on the red cross site, but when I looked on the schedule there werent any programs on the schedule. I plan to call all the LTC facilities on Monday to see what they've got. Thanks!

*Also posted in the michigan nurses forum. I was recently laid off and I'm looking to maybe get some training over the summer in the medical field. I had my heart set on phlebotomy but I missed the class at Marygrove College. Then I heard CNA was a better field. I've looked into Aress institute as well as Abcott institute so far but thats all I've really found, and I don't even know if theyre reputable. I feel really lost...I cant find too many other places for training. I hear about hospitals and LTC facilities offering it, but I cant find it and that seems kind of silly considering I hear that theyre everywhere but...I cant find any! No info on the hospital websites (not the ones around me), no classes at the red cross as far as I can see, nothing. My questions to my michigan CNA's are: 1) Where can I find a good place? Am I missing something? Where did you go? 2) Are the two places I mentioned above reputable? (Abcott or Aress) 3) Are there any phlebotomists in here? 4) Is there such a thing as PAID training? (like I know you can get it through your employed but I'm talking about government paid) Thank you so much for your help, guys.

Hello, I just joined today so I have no idea if this is supposed to be posted strictly in the CNA forum but I think this is an appropriate place too. Dont jump on me if im wrong :) I was recently laid off and I'm looking to maybe get some training over the summer in the medical field.
