Try calling the surrounding nursing homes around you and asking whether they offer classes. Many offer them for free. Also Ivy Tech offers a CNA prep. You may qualify for fin. aid otherwise, it will be cost of tuition, materials, and testing.
I have not done either. A friend of mine got her CNA last semester through Miller's Merry Manor. It did not cost her anything and she did not have to sign a work contract or anything. She works there PRN and Part time at a home health agency. She is waiting to hear whether she got in for the LPN program for fall.
Good Luck to you!

A couple people posted below that I should become a CNA to get my foot in the door. Where can I take classes? Any places that you know of that have free CNA training?
