I found Isabella, a nursing home in Manhattan. It has a free program that trains 10 people 2 times a year. Dunno what I my chances are but I guess I can apply. The other place I'm looking at is The Manhattan Institute which does exclusively Allied Health classes. Looks like I can finish the CNA course in 1 month and do EKG and Phlebotomy in the following 3 weeks. anyone know about these 2 places? thanks! scott
