How do you get certified without having to be employed with a company for example a nursing home and not taking online courses or having to take a year course? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

It will all depends if you got the charge in the state where you live, if so,I think they go back 10 years. You can take the test and answer the questions to CHARGES, honestly, they will probable contact you and ask you for an explanation, if they have any question, and if there if they are wiling to give it to you. If they approve after revising the case they will let you know. I hope this helps - Was this comment helpful? Yes (6) / No (4) Reply - Report abuse

Alex in Saint Joseph, Missouri 56 months ago	Hello, I was wondering if you could help me on the right track to obtaining my CNA license. I would be willing to pay for my own classes which are offered at Hillyards every month for about $320.00. The problem with that is, I need to find employment in a healthcare setting before I'd be accepted into the program. With that said, maybe I should find employment with someone who also offers the training free. But I'm not sure if working in nursing homes is where I want to end up. Any advice on how to get a job without any formal training or licenses in a healthcare setting so I can begin career? Thank you. Please email me at alleyzworld@msn.com Also, I am from Missouri, if that helps. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (10) / No (2) Reply - Report abuse

Sarah in Decatur, Indiana 51 months ago	hey everybody. ive been doing some research on cnas because ive been considering takin clsses for it. it sounds like something id like to do. i read it envolves some science classes but i was wondering what other kinds of subjects u learn. im just trying to figure which way to go with this. - Was this comment helpful?

Lisa in Savannah, Georgia 51 months ago	Christine, I'm not sure about the programs where you live, but here in Georgia the Department of Labor pays for the CNA training for qualifying individuals. You should contact your state Department of Labor and find out if they offer the same assistance. Since you're on unemployment, maybe your unemployment contact can give you information on agencies that help with funding. I'm not sure what the requirements are but here I believe you have to have a high school diploma or GED. They will administer a competency test and I imagine acceptance is based on income level, which you would probably qualify for since you're on unemployment. The program here also pays for childcare. Based on the needs of your son, you should also check to see if he qualifies for SSI, which might help you out financially as well. Contact your Social Security office and they will tell you what you need to do and ask your doctor's office if they believe he would qualify. Good luck! christine harris in Auburn, Indiana said: i started to go to school for lpnbut could not get the help i needed to finish and get help while in school have son living with me that has extrophy of bladder so have to help him out not able to work on unemployment which is ready to run out and want more then ever to be cna right now till get back on feet and cant get any funding to help out please help me want this more then ever and live in auburn indiana wanting to know if theres nursing homes or any places where i can get cna licenses please help thank you - Was this comment helpful?

Sarah in Decatur, Indiana 51 months ago	ok so once again thanks for the information. it was a big help. but i had a follow up question im hopeing someone can answer. i was wonderin what kind of subjects you would study, for example is it a lot of math or science? and do u study alot of things you wouldnt think would pertain to that to much? for example i was studing to be a paralegal and i had to take a class on the history of economics. - Was this comment helpful?

Lisa in Savannah, Georgia 51 months ago	Sarah, unless you take the CNA class at a technical school or other college atmosphere, I don't think you will be taking any math or science subjects. CNA classes are usually from 2-8 weeks long depending on where you take it and focus strictly on the skills / infection control procedures you will be doing as a CNA. If you are taking it at a tech school, then they may require you to take math and science classes. My tech school requires a biology course, diversity in healthcare course, patient care fundamentals and interpersonal relations and professional developement (4 courses total) for a combined 19 credit hours. The way they have it set up, it would take someone 2 quarters or about 6 months to complete. That is way to long for a CNA class in my opinion so I opted to go through a private company and finished my course in a little over 5 weeks. I would definitely weigh your options before choosing a school that would require you to take all kinds of other classes to get your CNA. It's helpful if you plan to continue on to LPN or RN but now if you just want your CNA. All of the information I've given is how it relates to my area of GA so it could differ for your city and state.

Alsokeep up with my standard with them by being a dedicated worker. I was certified also and worked for about 3 companies and neither one would sign my certification papers so it wouldn't laspe,but it did.I complained to the cna nureing registry board but,they didn't seem to care they just said get a job working 8 hrs. or go back to where you used to work and i did to no avail i lost my certification on August30,2008.Right before then i worked 16 hours at a facility and they wouldn't sign because,i was shadowing on the floor as they called it.They said i have to have hands on training on my own before they could sign it,so i guess they just wasted my time.I think there should be law about these companies wanting to use you for a cna and then don't have time to sign your papers and then you wind up being a pca.I thought about going to the news 5 on your side or 9 on your side so people can see who these companies are so they don't get trapped like i did. - Was this comment helpful?
