Honestly, I have no idea how I would go about that. That's one of my issues. I don't trust the technical schools enough to find out if I can get funding through them, and I'm not sure who I would contact about funding through the city/state.

Also, the most recent reviews of the place aren't exactly positive. I can't afford a screw up when it comes to this and am quite afraid to take a risk like that.

Is there any kind of tuition assistance or reimbursement? I can barely get $100 dollars together, let alone $1000. I could get help with the testing fee and fingerprints no problem, but not the fee for the course itself. *edit: My boyfriend's mother would help with the smaller fees, but I have to figure out the schooling on my own. I won't let her support me anymore and I'm trying to get more independence.

I live with my boyfriend of 3 years, I'm hoping to either rotate work schedules with him or have his mother or my grandmother help with babysitting. Am I always going to have varying schedules?

Well, Hello everyone! I have been searching for a career the past few years that would be fitting for me. I've taken some time to look into a job as a CNA and have fallen in love with the thought. However, I'm a young mother of 2 with almost no money to put towards my education. While I know that there are community colleges where I could get a grant, the one near me has limited enrollment for their nursing assistant classes, and is no longer accepting anyone. I just can't wait around for a year. Don't take it the wrong way, I'm still applying for other jobs to work my way into the field, I guess I should just get to the point though.. Are there ways for someone to get tuition assistance or even training paid for in Arizona to become a CNA? I've been hunting online and everything I find sends me to a technical school (almost all have terrible ratings, I would rather wait than risk not getting certified because the school can't find an externship even if it's promised) or suggests calling around to local long term care facilities to see if they'll train someone (the only one in my city that does requires an employee to already be certified, and I'm not quite sure how to go about that conversation) Any information at all would be really helpful.
