    I am a cna graduate and i recieved my certificate of completion in 2008. I am not certified yet and I am not sure of what to do since it’s been a while since I graduated. I am not certified yet and wanted to continue education or training to become certified. What are my options and what type of help do I qualify for? I am currently recieving assistance from the state and currently unemployed. I’m an active job seeker willing to perform hands on training. My goal is to become a certified nurses assistant and hopefully continue to seek advancement.
