I am a graduate of RSAA's CNA program. It's an awesome school, with very helpful instructors! You won't find a program that is cheaper then RSAA's, believe me I've looked. Gateway Community College offers a CNA class, but the waiting list is 6-12 months long from what I have been told. As far as the jobing market, there are plenty of nursing homes that are looking for fresh new CNA's. It's much harder to get on with the hospitals, it's one of those "you have to know someone to get anywhere" kind of deals. Good luck!
