Finding Good Schools

Ok. First, nearly all of the colleges I came across were really sketchy.

I really was feeling like I would need a disclaimer here. Because you can locate a handful of web-based CNA courses at the largest private colleges. But I’ve witnessed people come and go from there and wind up out of work.

Quite simply, just be careful. Private universities are frequently for-profit organizations. And more often than not, cash is a higher priority than your education. The quality of teachers, courses and curriculum may not be as good as it is at a public college.

Moreover, private colleges usually don’t possess great reputations. The very last thing you should do is pay a boatload of money for a degree that isn’t worth anything in the actual job market. So be cautioned. Keep your eyes open and do your research.

If you wish to pursue a job as a CNA, your best option would be to check out someplace close to you to apply for a regular program. Many of these programs will waive any tuition if you agree to work with them down the road. Many will actually pay you for training or just compensate you for your training. I explained a lot of this stuff in this article.

If you need a good starting place, you can review training programs in your state utilizing the NCES College Navigator. Or you can call a nearby health facilities (hospitals and nursing homes, mostly) and ask for recommendations
