Do they screen you? Because the workforce 1 in the Bronx, you have to have prior work experience.

They do screen you but they don not expect you to have experience. They just want to see your enthusiasm about learning and attaining your license. You will have a workshop and orientation to go to to help you fill out the application. You will then wait to see someone to evaluate your application to make sure its filled out completely and then they send you on your way and tell you that they will call you if you have been approved. When you are approved you go back and pick up your voucher and take that voucher to the school you decided on...NEW AGE SCHOOL is a very good school!! And that's it!! Oh but bring 3 printed out sheets of places that need cna's and 3 printed out sheets of different schools (including the one you really want to go to)..bringing these documents makes your time there shorter but they never tell you these things! So do what you gotta do girl and good luck!!!

Yes there is a place in Brooklyn to train for CNA courses. I called and the classes start in February 2010. It is absolutely FREE!

If your still interested you can email me at ethelstevenslove54@yahoo.com, because I don't have the information on me right now. It's in Brooklyn on 6th avenue. You take the N or R train to 59th street.

Peter Cooke in Long Island, New York said: REVIEWS OF CNA SCHOOLS IN BROOKLYN AND MANHATTAN! NEW YORK CITY

your comments are a great help! I tried the Allen school in Jamaica they wont tell you the price over the phone but the cost is 1395 +++ books,uniforms etc...
they make you come all the way in for the sphiel. I had 4 appointments befor I finally made it. Jamaica is too crowded if you drive their leave an hour just to get near the school on Jamaica Ave. I also checked out their sister school in Bklyn Heights on Montaque Street. Same price however its 4 weeks for for day classes at 1395+++ and 6 weeks for nights, and 8 weeks for weekends. The only problem is the day classes dont start until April 26th, Too bad for you if you want it now! I KNOW FOR A FACT I JUST SAVED SOMEONE A WHOLE BUNCH OF TIME THAT INFO TOOK ME 3 MONTHS TO FIND OUT. I THINK THATS WHY THEY WONT TELL YOU ON THE PHONE. *(JUST A NOTE IF YOU DRESS WELL THEY WONT OFFER YOU FINANCIAL AID, I CAME IN AFTER A JOB INTERVIEW AND WAS DRESSED TO THE NINES AND WAS TOLD IT'S CASH UP FRONT ONLY FOR ME) MANHATTAN SCHOOL , IS VERY AFFORDABLE HOWEVER THE PLACE IS DUMPY LOOKING AND THE INTERNSHIP IS UP IN THE BRONX, IF YOUR COMING FROM LONG ISLAND ITS VERY INCONVIENIENT. Come to think of it niether of the schools gave me a tour they just talked price, price, price - no value to it! I guess they knew I was serious. I'll let everybody know when I am done I also have looked at school in Las Vegas if anyone is interested.

Hi: You can go to your local Workforce Center within the 5 boro's of New York. They have training programs that they have grants for. Since you paid already for your training, pass this information along to someone.

Do you need to have experience in the medical field in order for you to get a voucher for something in the medical field? Because when i went to the workforce 1 in the bronx they told me i wasnt qualified because i didnt prior experience. Is it the same thing there?

Hi:
Jadaw, different offices does different things. It's different in Brooklyn. You have to show them your resume to determine what you're interested in. I say go to another office, Queens, Mahattan, Brooklyn. In Brooklyn if you haven't been to the workforce office in the last 6 months you sign up to see a career counselor and then they'll schedule you an appointment for (2) weeks. Tell them you're interested in taking the CNA classes, or pick the medical field of your choice and apply for the grant. It takes 6 weeks. The CNA classes is (3) months training with workforce. They supply you with the uniform, books, etc. Go for it.

Jovanny:
Look on the CNA forum here. Recently I wrote you and gave the information. Also you can go to the Workfoce Career 1 Center downtown Brooklyn and get into the CNA training program or tell them you're interested in the medical field and you can take the training of your choice. Take your resume with you when you go, they will give you an appointment to come back. CNA classes take less the time (3) months. Ask about the New Age School when you speak to a counselor.

mf said: do they offer LPN training?

Yes they offer LPN training. There's (2) Educational Adult training centers, Booklyn and Manhattan, LPN classes starts in February 2010 in manhattan. Address 212 west 120th street, entrance on 119th street. Go there and get a application. You have to take a pre-test, the (nclex) for the LPN course. The others are colleges, Medgar Evers, Laguardia Community College. Go to the workforce center and apply for the grant. Take your resume with you and make an appointment for (2) weeks. Go for it. You must be a high school graduate or have your G.E.D. If you're not a united states citizen just show them your green card.

Rina
Don't know anything about New Jersey. Check your local listings in New Jersey to see if there's any training for CNA. Try Lincloln Tech or Everest. Check websites on the computer for CNA training in New Jersey.

mf said: thank you. Do you have any phone numbers I could contact?

Thanks for your help. MF

It burns me so for people to just keep asking for so much help. The girl just gave you names,,,now you want a phone number. What next, map the directions for you. Come on folks get motivated, do some of the leg work yourself! I bet you are still sitting on your butt waiting on a phone number... Good Grief!

Sharon33 in Far Rockaway, New York said: Hi there there is a cna program at the Education Opportunity Center in Hempstead, free of charge if you qualify.

Hi this sounds great so what documents will I need to sign up A.S.A.P and I would also need the travel directions Thanks.

Thanks but can some one please tell me what documents must I bring with me to workforce 1 in brooklyn to start the CNA class? and do they accept copies of documents if any?

ybrown in Brooklyn, New York said: Hi this sounds great so what documents will I need to sign up A.S.A.P and I would also need the travel directions Thanks.

ms Sharon I am all for helping people, truly I am...But I would not give this young lady not one more bit of information. You are communicating with her via internet, could you not do any homework on you on. Watch out Ms Sharon, next she will want you to set her up a appointment and give her a ride. She gave you the name : OPPORTUNITY CENTER IN HOMESTEAD free of charge, take the time to do some work on your on, for Christ sake you have a computer and I'm sure you must have a telephone. Help comes to those who help themselves.

von brooklyn in Brooklyn, New York said: Thanks but can some one please tell me what documents must I bring with me to workforce 1 in brooklyn to start the CNA class? and do they accept copies of documents if any?

The perfect place to start would be workforce one. Even you u have to make one trip to get information and another for the actually appointment. Use a little common sense, some of your OWN common sense. ID, SS CARD, names and Birth dates of people in your home, income, High School transcript or GED, if none ask about GED classes when you get there. These are all documents you should have readily on hand and keep together in a safe place always! If you do not have any of these documents, start collecting them all ASAP and be sure to always have them. Also get a copy of any vaccines you will have, often times for work or school this verification is also needed. Be willing to use your resources and put in the work. It is not good to rely so much on others.

Hi: Miss Brown

Hi Tina:
How you making out as far as getting CNA training.

Can you not work as a PCA? Yes it does sounds like you are going backward. Can I recommend doing whatever you can to keep current on you MA. I understand you can take a quick free class and work as a cna, but again your moving backwards. When you do find employment, try to find a place where there is room for advancement. Don't let you MA go down the drain.

Hi Mary:
A PCA and a CNA is pretty much basically the same profession. It all depends on what some people want to take up or do. To be a Home Attendant is going backwards, because a PCA, Medical Assistant, and a CNA in most cases depending on where you got your training from know phlebotomy. I'm going for a license practical nurse. Also I read your comment about me giving the information for free training to become a CNA and they wanted phone numbers and everything. Enjoy your holidays!

Hi: Cowgirl 1088
Sometimes you have to play around on the computer to find the information you need. I found this information for you concerning CNA classes.
It's SUNY Syracuse Equal Opportunity Center 100 New Street, Syracuse, New York 13202. Write them or go there to see what information they give you.

Davidsb04 in Brockport, New York said: hi, where did you get your training in rochester, ny.. im in brockport ny and i want to become a CNA

Try EOC, you can also apply to unity hospital and they offer free CNA training, Thompson hospital in Canadaigua also offers it free as well as the Brightonian Nursing home. Try those to start with. Hope this helps.

Hi Ethel,
Thank you for the info.I'm not familiar new york.If you know their number and the e-mail address,can assist me with the info.Honey,I been out of job for the past six months.Right now,I have no choice but to do the certified nursing assistant training.Hope to hear from you.

Hi Matthew:
Just read your message tonight and here is the information for the free CNA information. Your best bet is to go to the Workforce Career #1 Center located in New York City in Manhattan. The address is 215 west 125th street 6th floor, phone number is two one two two eight zero- three seven two nine. Or visit their website www.nyc.gov/workforce1 or dial 311. Maybe 311 could give you information for the Rhode Island area on CNA. Tell them your interested in free CNA training.

Whatever you do,don't go to Hostos community college in the bronx, the teacher was often almost an hour late to class and would let us out early! Plus she said we would be taking off days for new years and that we didn't have a nursing home to do our clinicals afterward, just plain ghetto, I got my money back and never looked back.

I am a cna here in ct, but I am planing on moving to Jamaica Queens and I would like to know if you offer the cna training in spanish or english and I would like to know the dates and time of when the programs starts and also if it is free and if not where can I take it for free.

Thank you very much,
Patty

When you graduate as a CNA here in Texas do they issue you a diploma what???

I am looking for a cna class in rochester that is free and they offer you a job afterward like in a nursing home or some place that offers it

Hi Patty:
You can go to the workforce career center 1 in Jamaica Queens, N Y. It's located on Jamaica Avenue at 169th street, or visit their website www.nyc.gov/workforce 1, or call 311 to get the phone number for the office in Queens, N Y. They have free CNA training which last about (3) months. When you come to the big city go to the workforce center. Good luck.
