Actually I don't not in that area, however I was paid, trained, and eventually certified free of charge Fair Acres Nursing home. Its located in Media, PA close to Lima PA. The classes are for 2 weeks, after the second week you are on the floor dealing with residents with your instructor. After the 3rd week you are put on your permanent floor to be precepted by another CNA for about 2 weeks and then you take your certification. Its really a great place to learn and get certified. I heard of a place in Philly that trains you and you get paid. I am pretty sure there some in other parts of the state as well. You might just have to google or call the state to find out.

Your right about that. Hospitals don't really hire CNA's unless you know someone that works in a hospital. Last week Presbetarian Hospital were hiring for several CNA's Positions which is a apart of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I know I spelled that wrong lol. Another good way to get into a hospital is to apply for house keeping, kitchen aid workers etc... just get your foot in the door and then once you see a CNA position available apply for it. Most companies hire in house and then when they can not find anyone for the postion at the hospital then the company place ads in papers etc.... Try not to give up the jobs are out there, its worth all the sweat and tears once you do get it.

Does anyone know of any LPN Schools that is in Delaware County and the Philadelphia that are free? I highly doubt that there is a program like that but I will ask. You never know what's out there. I pray there is one like that, but if not please update me on anything that you may know even if its in Delaware I am willing to travel.

I know its hard to be a nurse I have two sisters that are nurses one is an LPN and the other is an RN. I see what nurses have to put up with at my job and I know there is no picnic in being a nurse and the same goes for being a CNA or a tech as well. Well for the CNA's I guess it depends on where you work because every facility is different I can only speak on the facility I work with and believe me there is no picnic working as a CNA where I work.

Wow! That is crazy. I am a CNA myself and I would have reported her. I respect the nurses that I work with and they respect me as well. I pray that if she was to be ever to become a nurse that no CNA treats her that way because that was totally uncalled for. She should be ashamed of herself. First and foremost she should have be thinking of the patients not herself and did what she was asked. She should have sucked up her pride and if she really had a problem with your note she should have came to you in a professional manner. I have ran into some rude nurses and for the most part I try to get along with them, but you leaving a note was not rude at all. I think she was a problem with other people being in charge.
