Hi,
I have a dilemma. I have been working for an elderly lady for 3 years. She lives with her family. They expect us to clean up after them wash their dishes sweep and mop up after them and even clean up after their kids after theyve finished playing and doing their art time. Last I checked I do not work for molly maid and I am not the house butler. They say I get paid to clean up. I want to bring this subject up to them but I need to know where I stand and if I am right. I thought I was hired to care for one lady and her light house cleaning not the whole family. Please someone reply to me asap.

Thank you

Hi Jennifer, You do actually receive college credits.. as much as 6 at some Community Colleges. The courses at Community Colleges are longer than those at vocational centers.

That is NOT true Mrs. Smith. You do not receive college credits for attending CNA classes and there are FREE CNA classes in some states, like Connecticut through Nursing homes with CNA programs.

This is where you are wrong. I received my CNA through the company that I previouly worked for in the state of Missouri. The nursing homes here train their employees to become CNA’s and then they test out in the facility witht he state monitoring everything. I received mine in 1999 and have had it ever since. It never costed me a dime and my BF just received his as well as his CMT and it didn’t cost anything.

You can not find free CNA training in any state. Because it is a actual college course and you will receive college credits for it.
I would recommend going to your local unemployment office and asking to speaking with someone about college classes and assistance with payment.
you should be able to file for a small grant through the state and they will pay for the class.
Thatch how mine was paid for and I didn’t half to pay it back. If you pay for it yourself your looking at 650.00 not including book fees and uniforms for class and your mandatory physical. which is all pay for under a grant.
