I applied for full time. The deposit is 750 and books are about 200, uniforms 200, background check 150. I will also have to be CPR certified again because my certification expired and it wasn't American heart association health care provider. There is a program through orangeworks that can help but you have to be unemployed. I work full time right now and can't stop. My husband was recently laid off and is only working part time. I really want to start this September but I don't think it will be possible. I thinking am going to just wait until sept. 2012 so that I can get enough money and be better prepared.
