You will need to complete training with them ad continue working for them after becoming certified. More details can be found at: http://goo.gl/5QGuQ (copy the url into your browser)
Low Cost CNA Training
Maryville R2 Schools

They have a 19 session, 75 hour program that covers the classroom study. Their cost is just $600 which is great when compared to other programs charging upwards of $1,000 within Missouri. The price you pay also includes state certification fees which is a plus. FAFSA is accepted but we doubt it will work to pay for the CNA program. You can find out from their financial aid department.
Ozarks Technical Community College

Other than the fact that they require stringent health checks before enrolling, this is another good low cost opportunity. For just $660 your classroom costs are covered. You have to pay an additional $200 for the exam as well unlike the above listing.

Im 18 almost 19 and need to get into a cna class to get certified for a job at the hospital here in town. I live in Missouri and have two kids im trying to raise alone. If there is any advice someone could give me or some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Oxford healthcare does not do cna training. I just got off the phone with them, and the only way they will hire is if you have previous experience.
Hello my name Jessycca and I’m curious about getting my CNA. I’m looking into nursing homes that provide that, I just got a job at in home care facility and in the process of getting info on how to do that here at my current job, if they even do it.
